It’s in the dark of night, during those first few bleary-eyed months of parenting, that we are most vulnerable to THE device that promises to help make life just a little easier. Dad-of-two Mike Donachie reveals the inventors hoping to cash in.
Sock OnsKeep your baby’s socks on no matter what! As seen on ITV This Morning! Hmmm… These look like a good idea to me.
Wait a minute! What am I saying? I don’t care what Philip Schofield said — these are just funny-looking.
Yes, it’s very annoying that babies keep taking off their socks and dumping them among the apples in Tesco, but Sock Ons seem like some form of petty revenge.
Good luck to the “mum of five little boys” who invented them but… they look like support bandages.
Do you really want old ladies stopping you and saying, “Oh, that’s so sad. What’s wrong with him?”Perhaps not.The Doorway Baby BouncerThis is another one we actually bought and, looking back, I have no idea why.
They’re commonly available and lots of people have them, but at one point with our first baby I had this moment of clarity where I thought, “Did I really just strap my daughter to a doorframe and watch her bounce?”
Boinging babies look very cute and possibly even enjoy themselves, but you have to admit it’s a damned odd thing to do.
I’m sure there are parents who swear by this gadget, and somebody’s putting shoes on his bairns’ feet by selling it, but are you kidding?
“Hungry, bored, tired, stressed or annoyed”? You mean all the things any decent parent’s going to know anyway?
I want to see an upgrade where it tells you the baby is screaming because Daddy just blew another $120 of his inheritance.
