  "question": "Can the sling on a baby bathtub be removed and cleaned?",
  "answer": "The First Years First Suds Newborn to Toddler Tub: With the sling removed, the baby side supports a reclined position with a built-in bump to stop slipping. The sling is non-slip and dries quickly to help avoid mildew. The First Years Y7830CA4 (maker); Y7830CA3 (store SKU): The sling is described as quick-dry and not retaining moisture. The First Years Sure Comfort Deluxe Newborn to Toddler Tub (SKU Y7833CA4; alternate SKU Y7833CA2): The sling can feel flimsy or lose support as the baby grows, and it can grow mold if not cleaned and dried thoroughly.",
