Advantages: Nice deep bath which reaches the water flow from a bath tap.

Disadvantages: I needed a foam support, as it hurt my back leaning to support my baby with my hand.

I bought this bath set for my baby as it was much cheaper and better value to buy all of the included items as this set as it would have been to buy all of the individual items separately. However it was still much more expensive than a plain set which would have done the job exactly the same.
The bath set I purchased was identical, apart from the teddy bear design, which I believe has now replaced this design which is displayed on the image.
I found that the bath is a good size for a baby; it is deep enough to cover the baby with water and has a useful non slip pad on the inside which stopped my baby slipping towards the bottom of the bath. The bath was also easy to fill as the water flow from the taps in my bath reached straight into the baby bath. When I had my first child, her bath had a very large lip at the end and it was difficult to fill as the water flow from the taps just hit the lip instead of going into the bath, therefore I found this a huge advantage.
There is a plug in the bottom of this bath which would be of great benefit if you were to use this bath with a stand, you could just place a bucket underneath to empty the bath rather than trying to lift it, carry it and empty it. I never needed to use the plug as I always placed the baby bath into my own big bath so I just tipped it over to empty.
I used the mothercare bath foam support with this bath (I have also written a review on this product) as I found it a great help to bath baby hands free.
The super soft cuddle 'n' dry hooded towel, is exactly like it says, super soft! I don't think you can have enough of these towels with a baby as they stay over their head and are just the right size. This towel washed very well, I am still using it now on my baby boy who is 4 months. I have washed it many times and the quality is still perfect.
The baby sponge is a good advantage to the set it is soft and gentle and very useful to wash delicate little faces with. It is also a very cute little paw print shape.
I have found the top and tail bowl perfect for the job. It has the two sections the same as most top and tail bowls, however it is just the right size and not big and bulky, with a very handy little soap tray which I found ideal to place my used damp cotton wool.
The thermometer is also a cute little accessory which I found very accurate, however in my opinion the good old fashioned elbow test just as good if not better.

Summary: All round great essensials pack for bathtime
