is this not the most stupid invention ever invented?

stupid

its a lot easier to do this without the carseat you know!

stupid car seat thing....

strap on buggy - fab.

hanging your baby/toddler over the toilet door like you would a handbag?!?! what is with that?!?!

Children come out of car seats. I highly recommend it between journeys as they are soft and warm and lovely.

I used my pushchair strap when I had to get on a crowded train (no seats or even space for an assembled pushchair) with a 5yo and a 2yo. I then managed as we stood in a small space outside the toilet to pass it overhead to someone who put it on the rack. But, yes, I wouldn't carry it, if I could push it. And it lives in my car.

that''s really funny nappyaddict.

You mean the FunPod . DH said he'd buy one if it came with a lid.

wrong EFFING LINK

let's try it now shall we?

Wasn't there a competition to win a funpod not so long ago on MN??? Wonder who won that, we could ask them if the pod came with a lid....

The thing I find so astonishing is the increase in the number of "things" available since even DS was born 5 years ago. Even I, Queen of sleek looking gadgets/sucker with more money than sense, am turning into my mum (eeek in itself) as I shake my head sorrowfully and say "in my day, we only had a chair to stand on/arms to carry a car seat/ etc". I think pretty much everything "necessary" has been invented, TBH. The rest is all round the margins. It all takes up so much space, as well as being spurious unecessary crap.

The banana guard, however, I will defend to the death. DS and DD cut quite some dash with their on the 3-5 year old snack circuit

Moondog - I have a Banana Tree! and i'm so ashamed to admit it! LOL

They are daft. Plus it encourages people to leave their baby in a carseat for extended periods, which is now a big no-no for health and lung/spine development reasons.

I saw this in the Urchin catalogue the other day. Now, putting aside if your child has problems with lumps/choking for medical reasons...would you want to eat food in a net? It actually makes me feel vaguely nauseous - like eating a sandwich through one of those little net bags you put washing powder tablets in...

lol at the carseat thing and the ski's (at the bottom of the page) to go on your pushchair.

All this talk of banana guards, I had to buy one (actually I just bought 2, for the bargain price of £3.99, thank you ebay!). PMSL at the pushchair skis and box thing. If I put ds in that he'd have a screaming fit, far too much resemblence to a coffin, methinks.

martha we did use little gauze pads for dd1 to chew through as she has cerebral palsy, but why NT kids would need one I don't know

either a) their parents wander off into the garden and leave them eating their lumpy food unsupervised

or b) they haven't got enough damn teeth and they should puree more

(btw we did read a very old book about parenting cerebral palsied children which suggested giving them strips of raw steak to chew on in order to stimulate their chewing action )
