I've been laughing all these wonderful inventions

Anyway, after laughing a lot, I then found a shopping trolley cover on eBay... DH thought it was really worthwhile so I've just bought it! Had a bidding war with someone too - only just got it at the last second! Can't decide if I should feel proud or really stupid... Sure DS will love it!

Oh - did you notice there was a Christmas version of the pee pee teepee? Very tempting... ROFL

Oh this thread, absolutely wonderful, haven't laughed so much since I watched the Borat Movie,
Thankyou so much to all the posters for finding out all these crazy contraptions.
Oh the box to put your children in....utterly hilarious. Will wake up at 3am laughing about that one.

Harpsi .. I have tears streaming down my face at

"I think banana guards are marvellous things
am allergic to bananas
they need guards
and to be kept in a cage, locked away from civilised society
evil fkn Fruit of Death"

DH doesn't get it

Skribble · 26/01/2007 22:14

Banana Muzzle

Bagpuss30 · 26/01/2007 22:14

Has anyone linked to these yet? What about just using umm.... gloves?

Skribble · 26/01/2007 22:18

Ah now I see why

hatwoman · 26/01/2007 22:20

i think they're brilliant bagpuss. I'm contemplating a baby just so that I can have some.

PrettyCandles · 26/01/2007 22:30

I'll tell you what I want someone to invent: a Mummyboard. THat's a Kiddyboard for me to stand on, so that I can scoot the buggy along with one leg, and then ride.

Skribble · 26/01/2007 22:33

Oh yes a Mummy scooter

eidsvold · 27/01/2007 09:45

due to being very pregnant visited a no of public toilets whilst out shopping today and every time I turned around to hang my bag up - all I could see was that child hanging over the toilet door - had to stop myself from giggling.

kiskidee · 27/01/2007 10:49

oooh, congratulations eidsvold. didn't know you were pg!! when are you due?

lady007pink · 27/01/2007 10:57

Pardon my ignorance, but what does PSML stand for? I wonder have the inventors of these gadgets made their millions yet? I'm here trying to think of wacky inventions, like a cushion that imitates mummy's arms and tummy that baby will nestle in while asleep so mummy can get housework done (DD wakes up the minute I move from seated position); something you can place baby in that will rub it's back and get it's wind up effectively; I could think of loads more...

moondog · 27/01/2007 17:39

piss myself laughing Lady.

LittleWonder · 27/01/2007 17:53

*The child must be able to stand unaided in order to use the FunPod? safely.

Am still working my way up this thread and spraying wine out of my nose. the above phrase is from the FunPod - imagine if the child could not stand unaided, the whole thing would just flop over......oh ROFL

LittleWonder · 27/01/2007 17:56

another FunPod testimonial:

"Dad's don't often get the chance to spend quality time with our kids in the kitchen so the FunPod is the perfect way to make the most of the time together."

What is that? Quality time means put your child in a box?

Flumpytina · 27/01/2007 18:20

From the fun pod web page:

Safety First!
Always remember to check your worktop first for any danger signs such as kettles, knives or scissors for fear of wandering hands. As long as you?re in control of the FunPod?, you?re in control of your toddler. NEVER leave your child unattended.

Am currently imagining an out of control fun pod rampaging around the kitchen.

exbury · 27/01/2007 19:00

Does it have any suggestions as to how you regain control of your out-of-control Funpod - put it on the naughty step, maybe?

asur · 27/01/2007 19:27

I've just seen a watertot which made me laugh... What's wrong with holding a baby? And surely it would mean you couldn't go in the water - well you could but only up to your hips! Not much fun...

Oh the things people could buy...

LOVING the mummymits - am tempted to get myself a pair! PSML

MerlinsBeard · 27/01/2007 19:32

i like those mummy mitts. normal gloves just do not work, they get very wet very quickly

morningpaper · 27/01/2007 19:32

WATERTOT ??? WHY? Are you COOKING as well? Do you need to make a phone call? WTF are you going to do with your HANDS that you can't HOLD THE BABY?

ffs

tribpot · 27/01/2007 19:35

I think I'd forget I had the baby strapped on to my front and just set off at a gentle breast stroke, with baby entirely immersed underneath me

Flumpytina · 27/01/2007 19:39

Aha tribpot, maybe it is for ladies who like to do backstroke!!
Oh the time I have been in the pool with my baby and wished I could do a spot of backstroke. Problem solved.

tribpot · 27/01/2007 19:44

True, I could do with a baby swimming backpack to enable me to do breast stroke without drowning the infant!
