The Skip Hop MOBY Smart Sling 3-Stage Tub is the most clearly documented sling tub we compared. Skip Hop lists three stages with weight limits: newborn from 0 to 3 months and up to 15 lbs, infant from 3 to 6 months and up to 20 lbs, and sitter from 6 months and up to 25 lbs. The quick-drying mesh sling locks into an upper position that cradles a newborn head to toe and a lower position that supports a baby learning to sit, and it comes out entirely once the baby sits on their own. A non-slip interior texture, a drain plug and a swivel hook for hanging on a shower head or towel bar round it out. It measures 27.5 by 19 by 11.5 inches. Skip Hop is owned by Carter's, and skiphop.com now sends shoppers to carters.com, where it costs $40.00 and a spare sling costs $9.00. Its 3.5 average across 254 reviews is the lowest rating we saw.
