To the op...OUch, springs to mind....surely that must be heavy and painful????Yikes!

JackieNo.rofl, at that contraption....although, I suppose the idea is similar to the doorbouncer things, if not quite like it of course!

Moondog, couldn't resist and had to google the Banana guard too...so...will all bananas fit...rofl...
oh and you mean something like this ....so secretive, right...although have seen worse ones than that.

greensleeves, must say we had a Baby safe feeder, I assume that is what you mean...and found them great

that funpod thing....what exactly is it's point...love the additional extra...haha....is that so you cna lock them in there....lol!

those legwarmers might be a good idea when having a child in a sling, with my boys teh darn trouserlegs would always ride up, saying that, if it was cold, I never hesitated putting my boys into tights...being a german mum and all, lol!

Icod...hm..why the effers? I used a safetyharness for my ms, as he was lethal for running off, and having a younger child well, it was just easier to hold on to him, and he would not wear those normal harness/reigns things, but was fine with one of these which I assume is similar to the thing you linked at...or am I wrong...hm....

Greensleeves - just had to applaud your Wed post.Far from being long, it was very much to the point.
Have you ever written for any publications? If not, you should consider it, I think new mums to be need to hear more of this kind of straight talking from somebody who can write decent prose!

Interested in this thread?

Then you might like threads about this subject:

psml 3and more.
No that wasn't precisely the one I had in mind but rofl,there is obviously a burgeoing market.
Looks as if someone threw a dead old woman's curtain at that poor kid sleeping eh?
wtf??

Gemmitygem · 26/01/2007 02:31

I reckon that 'Readyegg' is worse, you know the liquid egg in a bottle you can buy? it's just 4 eggs broken into a plastic bottle. has to be the most unenvironmentally friendly product ever!

Bananana gaurd - handy for moutain biking etc to avoid squishy banananana gooo over every thing when you fall off and land on your camel back. The smallest size camel back is pretty good for kids , gets them carrying their own water.
Ski set on pushchair I assume is similar to these www.chariotcarriers.com/html_english/conversion_kits.htm . V handy if you live in northern canada ( its a canadian compnay) like my in laws did and teh ground is covered in snow for 2 or 3 months of teh year. People use XCskis or spiked boots, the side walks are left snow covered and you have chains or studs on your car wheels. we have a chariot but opted for teh bike trailer and jogger kits as not much snow in Devon.

thank you minipluffmum!

I would LOVE to be a writer and inflict my rabid ramblings on the general populace (it's my pet pipedream ), but no, I have never written anything to publish.

Plenty of professional journos on here with a quicker turn of phrase than me tho

mammaduck · 26/01/2007 14:01

Returning to the funpod, I am alarmed by their claim that in purchasing one there is:

"No need for a playpen or travel cot with the new and funky FunPod?."

What? You'd put a child to SLEEP in that thing?

hatwoman · 26/01/2007 14:06

is it just me or would you only ever need to/want to carry a seat a distance sufficiently short that it would take you less time to just do it than to stand around strapping that bizarre thing on? If the distance is long enough to make it a pain to carry then use something else (buggie perhaps? sling?) utterly bizarre

Skribble · 26/01/2007 14:24

Baby Toupees , yes honestly!!!! .

moondog · 26/01/2007 14:25

(Am also stunned at the egg thing.How slothful is that??)

Skribble · 26/01/2007 14:27

Pee pee Teepees No really.

JoPG · 26/01/2007 14:30

For those people that can't be bothered to take their baby out for a walk in the pram, get this great gadget to do it for you
baby rocker

Skribble · 26/01/2007 14:34

You would be the talk of Tescos with this

dueat44 · 26/01/2007 14:48

If only I had had the pee-pee tee-pees! Now I need one to cover the entire loo when DS1 and his badly-aimed todger are using it

hatwoman · 26/01/2007 15:19

rofl at the teepees. they are just incredible! at the trolley thing. bloody germ paranoia! that pic of the baby bag.cover up thing - there's something very bizarre going on with the legs. I remember the other thread about those - they looked like you were keeping your baby in a very fetching flowery bag.

hatwoman · 26/01/2007 15:22

here it is the hooter hider and erudite comments thereon

Greensleeves · 26/01/2007 15:23

have just sent dh the link for the peepee teepee, he can't believe it either

moondog · 26/01/2007 15:51

Oh Lord!
What are these people on and more to the point why do so many of them come from Canada including the nutter who has fashioned the outsize shower hat to put in the shopping trouble?

She calls herself 'Mom!'

'Nuff said.

Nip · 26/01/2007 15:52

my friend bought me some pee pee teepee's - what a waste of time!!!!

NappiesGalore · 26/01/2007 16:00

i would so have bought the bebeaulait things... but then, i do have more (of dps)money than sense surely it would mean you could wear any top you like and not have squidgy bits of floppy belly on show as well as hiding the norks (which actually seems a shame really, as bf'ing breasts are lovely looking things, unlike the fried eggs ive got now!)

dueat44 · 26/01/2007 16:13

Nip - did DS actually shoot them off?

nearlyfourbob · 26/01/2007 17:46

I've seen loads of those shopping trolley covers here in NZ - but ours are more tasteful (naturally), but they have all been for the plastic baby seats (which are usually disgustingly full of a mysterious sticky substance that will not come off onto a tissue but is magnetically attracted to clothing in less than a size 1). It really is overkill once they can sit in the normal trolley bit - as there are thousands of them and you can chose a clean one.

Pee Pee Tee Pee - have people not worked out that you can use a face cloth?

SoupDragon · 26/01/2007 18:13

You can make your own shopping trolley seat cover.

Kiff · 26/01/2007 20:01

Oh, I have a shopping trolley cover - from php I think.

It is actually quite fab because it had toys on ribbons sewn onto it (whoozit stylee). Kept Dd happy - kept me from doing my david deaman inmpression to catch thrown toys before they hit the ground/scrabble ungracefully for them under the freezer chests.
