We received our Sassy Spray as a gift.
Being new parents at the time, we thought it was cute but didn't realize that in the near future, it would become one of our must-have items for baby. The Sassy Spray attaches to most kitchen and bathroom faucets and works like any other shower spray, but with softer water flow.
The 48" hose allows us to set and fill the tub on the sink vanity instead of inside our large tub, avoiding backaches! We also like the fact that it makes hair rinsing much easier.
With all of its virtues, we do have one complaint. The valve that attaches to the faucet is very temperamental. It requires some adjusting and isn't leak proof. You have to make sure not to turn the faucet on full blast or the valve may detach completely. But we haven't seen another item like it in the marketplace and baby loves feeling the soft spray of water.
Update: We've fiddled around with the sprayer and have since figured out that not using the faucet attachment piece makes it attach easily with no leaks!
It's available here for $8.95. If you have another solution, please share!

This would have been so great a year ago when we were getting our little guy used to the shower hose. Now he's gotten to quite like the feeling of being sprayed down with an elephant hose. Maybe for baby #2...

I had one of these when kid was smaller, the part that hooks up to the faucet keeps coming off if there's too much water flow.
