Skip Hop Infant Bath Tub 3-Stage Grow With Baby Smart Sling MOBY Bathtub, Grey, Age 0+ Review (2026)

Who this bathtub suits

This grey version of the Skip Hop MOBY tub uses the same mesh Smart Sling with two locking positions as the rest of the MOBY line, covering a newborn stage up to 15 pounds, an infant stage up to 20 pounds, and a sitters stage up to a 25 pound maximum once the sling is removed. It suits parents who want a neutral colorway rather than blue, which is a common consideration for families who plan to pass the tub down to future siblings regardless of gender. As with the blue version, it measures roughly 27.5 by 19 by 11.5 inches and weighs around 3.6 pounds, making it easy to lift and move between a full bathtub and a smaller sink for newborns.

Design, capacity and features

The core design carries over unchanged from the rest of the MOBY line: a mesh Smart Sling with Comfort-Edge support that locks into an upper newborn-cradling position and a lower sitting-support position, plus a swivel hook built into the tub for hanging to dry on a shower head, shower bar, or towel rack. Once a baby outgrows the sling stages, it can be removed to leave a bare basin for sitters. The grey colorway is purely cosmetic and does not change the sling mechanics, weight limits, or the tub's roughly 3.6 pound weight compared with bulkier four-stage tubs that use separate removable inserts.

Everyday use and care

Because the sling is a mesh fabric piece, it holds water after each bath and needs to dry fully before reuse, which the tub's built-in swivel hook supports by letting it hang in the shower or over a towel rack between uses. The tub's roughly 27.5 inch length is fairly wide for some shower stalls or smaller bathtubs, so measuring the intended space before buying is worthwhile. Switching between the sling's two positions as a baby grows from newborn to sitting up is meant to be quick and tool-free, keeping the transition simpler than swapping physical inserts in and out of a tub shell.

How it compares with other baby bathtubs

On the site's baby bathtubs guide this grey MOBY tub ranks fifth of seven, tied on score with the blue MOBY version and both remaining Fisher-Price 4-in-1 prints, and just ahead of a newer Skip Hop 4-in-1 model with a slightly lower score. The only meaningful difference between this and the blue MOBY tub is color, since the sling mechanics, weight limits and dimensions are identical. Against the Fisher-Price tubs, this version remains lighter overall thanks to its single-sling design instead of a removable insert system, which some parents find easier to manage one-handed.

Bottom line on who should buy it

This tub earns the site's score of 8.8 out of 10 as a lightweight, neutral-toned option for parents who want the MOBY's simple two-position sling system without committing to a blue colorway. It suits households planning to reuse the tub for future children of either gender, and who have enough bathroom or shower space for its roughly 27.5 inch footprint. It is a lighter fit for parents wanting more distinct physical stages or included toys, which this version does not offer. For a simple, low-weight, gender-neutral tub, this is a solid pick.
