is this not the most stupid invention ever invented?

stupid

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

if you have pushchair skis do you need skis too?

or are they to strap to the back of the husky dogs?

The net chew bag thing always gets slated and I inadvertantly stumbled in on a previous mn hoohaa about them.
My ds4 used one for a few months to help him learn to chew without gagging, he has sn and the SALT recommended it, like Capp says though I'd never have considered using it with my older three, it was pretty soggy by the end of tea time.

that back of the toilet door thing is weird, but i don't agree with them saying it is psychologically damaging taking your dc to the toilet with you. i'm sure that's what everyone does, but why they can't just stand and wait for you to do it or why you can't just take the pushchair into the baby changing room i've no idea!

i don't really get how those chew bag things work?

oh and don't have a banana tree but my nana does. something about if you put bananas in the fruit bowl they send the rest of the fruit off. our bananas just get left lying next to the fruit bowl.

£150 for that coffin thing

wonder how the pushchair skis work? i doubt we have enough snow for them to be cost effective, but maybe in austria they could be all the rage?

i bought a chewbag thing! seemed like a good idea at the time since ds3 was always grabbing at food and as he was the youngest of 3 babies, could hardly be watched every minute to make sure he wasnt choking... he used it for a bit w varying success depending on contents...

ive got one going spare now if anyone wants it!! (FFP, like)

Another banana tree owner here . We have a small fruit bowl, that's my excuse.

Well I have no idea what banana trees/guards are but my bananas do go black very quickly if stored with other fruit - so I may be interested .... (but then I am the queen of useless gadgets)

The car seat carrier is pretty weird and I would never buy it now (looks too uncomfortable). However as the mother of a baby who cried inconsoloably 90% of the time he was disturbed when asleep I probably would have used it in desperation then.

Slings which I used a lot were great but ds just cried as I moved him to the sling and continued to cry until he fell asleep again which was often half an hour or more - by which time I usually had to put him back in the car. I was living in Atlanta in the U.S at the time and I truly hated that all shopping pretty much had to be done by car.

A typical shopping expedition involved visiting at least 3 different shops in locations just too far apart to walk (especially in the Summer heat of Atlanta)

So I was forced to move ds to and from a car seat each time I got in or out or to leave him in the car seat and carry the seat which got damn heavy. Not sure this would have solved things but I might have bought it in desperation. God I am even crying now (18 months later) remembering the absolute misery of that time.

now what you really need are wheels for the carseat...

now that is genius....

Actually Mrs Badger I think that is an incredibly useful invention to solve the car seat on holiday problem. Check in the pushchair with no serious worries about damage in transit and use the car seat at the airport and leave at the door to the plane but as I say I am a weirdy gadget freak and I have also experienced some awful death trap type car seats when hiring cars on holiday (some of the worst in the USA).

changing the subject but keeping with lazycow's post - I hired a car seat in the US and it was PLASTIC COVERED!!!!! Not just leatherette but changing mat type plastic vinyl. DD got a rash all up her legs from sweating in it! YUK!!!!

lazycow, I wasn't kidding - I really think that thing is brilliant. Don't fly enough to warrant one though.

ahh we agree than - some gadgets are good - OP one very odd though!!

I have never seen so many bizarre items - a lot has changed since my two were babies. How did we manage before??

saw a parent on discovery with one of those straps from OP. She did have triplets tho so am assuming she failed at growing a 3rd arm

saw soe odd things the other day, am of to find them to see if u agree!

...???...

surely if its cold enough to need these then they should be wearing trousers??

I do like the idea though

MoM I can almost see the point of those for tinies - no struggling with trousers at nappy change time...

(mind you I'd just stick'em in a babygrow with poppers right down the leg rather than trousers)

i like the leg warmers. ideal for when its really cold. i find tights are hard to pull up over nappy and often make them leak, and toddlers probably find them hard to when potty training. could also imagine them useful for summer crawlers.

Legwarmers are so cool!

I've been wondering what boys wear in place of the 'tights under trousers' combo I frequently used with Dd.

And there's a definite fashion angle in jazzing up my ubiquitous ASDA white babygros.

I want, I want, I want!

hmm, almost as good as the baby wipe warmer (heated box thingy).

Pushchair skis - THAT is what I needed when faced with the choice of tugging pushchair through deep snow or finding enough things to wrap DS in to put him in the sling. Would need to hire them, though, as you would only need it once or twice for each DC.
