Abstract
A tub receptacle and sling for bathing an infant has at least two configurations. The tub receptacle includes a first pair of fasteners positioned opposite each other near the foot end of the tub, and a second pair of fasteners positioned opposite each other closer to the head end of the tub. The sling includes an upper pair of fasteners that attach to the tub near the head end, and a lower pair of fasteners that may attached either at the first pair of fasteners or the second pair of fasteners. In a first configuration, the fasteners are attached to the tub at the first pair of receivers and an infant on the sling is fully supported by the sling. In a second configuration, the fasteners are attached to the tub at the second pair of receivers and an infant in the tub is partially supported by the sling and partially supported by the interior surface of the tub.
