Sealing the dam properly would probably take as much time as the bath itself. KISS

Why isn't this sold in every baby shop yet? It's so much easier than letting your kid stand on a chair that he will fall off.

This is so unnecessary: just attach a bike seat to your bike. In the Netherlands we use these kind of seats: www.yepp.nl

This is very useful for some people. I've wanted one of these a long time. I don't drive and my bike is not bike seat compatible. (long story) I haven't the money for both a new bike and a bike seat. But if I save up enough I can afford one of these instead. Actually I'm looking at their 2.0 model which doesn't switch into a stroller but doubles as a storage container. For people with money this might be pointless.but for some people this can be a lifesaver. I've barely been able to go out for two years because I don't have access to a bike I can take my daughter on. I have to rely rides from my boyfriend on weekends to get things done. For certain people certain things are more helpful. Just because a product may seem stupid to one person doesn't mean it's not extremely useful to someone else. guess all I'm saying is don't judge so hard just because it wouldn't be useful to your lifestyle.

It's ugly as sin but at least you are able to watch baby and it seems less bumpy for baby then the ones mounted on back of a reg bike

This is important: this 3-wheeled bike is more safe for the mom with small baby, than usual 2-wheeled bike. And it may be more load-lifting (for the bag, for instance) .

Cute idea, but not sure why the toddler in the top pic doesn't have a helmet on. In fact the adult should have one on too! I'd worry about the bike tipping forward and then yowza!

They need to add a Bug Bite Thing to the list! It suctions out the poison from bug bites and stings so you stop itching and swelling. It's the Only thing that works on my 4 year old who swells like a balloon!

In many cases food AND container leave the table together. But the best solution is Discipline at an early age. ;D

This is by Ford. Sadly, as of at least last month, this was just a spec invention. I think they only made one and dont intend to manufacture them (although i hope that changes!)

That's pretty neat... but you could only use it like 6 months max before your kid outgrew it.

I don't like the feeling, that everything has to be under control, and also to connect something with your phone all the time. Yes, you will see illness faster, but I think it makes parents less care, in an unintentionally way. You watch your phone instead of your baby and this is clearly wrong to me.

Bad... They need to experience bumps and scrapes. It's how they learn. Not from being wrapped up in cotton wool.
