Take two...the site wasn't clicky before.

IMO, 99% of those things are goofy.

I'll admit, the bike stroller is pretty cool. Most of the things on the list made me go "Oh, that's neat" but I don't think they're going to make or break my parenting experience

I like the hoodie blanket for the car seat. If I ever get a sewing machine maybe I'll try it out. Or con my sewing cousin in to making one....

I have been given a few of these things as gifts:

1 fabric high chair (never used it but I'm sure we will at some point)

2 something similar to but not the same as the hoodie carrier cover (just the boba cover thing, love it in the winter)

3 sippy cup leash (big hearts to this thing for travel with a toddler)

I would love to have the cool car seat cover. Some of the stuff is gimmicky and silly, and of course, anyone can get by without it.

We have the woombie, which I'm excited to try out but a lot of the other stuff just seems like extras.

I loved the carseat blanket and will probably ask my mom to make me one. I also like the carseat shade cover. The bathtub divider was pretty cool (it would be great for bathing the dog too), but it's one of those unnecessary things. However, the cushion for your knees is a life saver.

We have the woombie. I was not impressed. Both kids hate it and I think it looks like a straight jacket. Swaddling worked best for us

Just ordered an airplane seat and a fabric high chair

We use a gardening knee pad for the bathroom
Love the trays for the car

Very cool site. Thanks for sharing

Right? Some are terrible ideas. Do not mix medicine with juice, you can't be sure how much babe actually gets. Even with the separate dispenser, there's a probably backwash issue, or if / when babe spits out the medicine. Stupid.

car seat bottle holder, way to be a lazy parent and likely drench/ force feed your kid.

The rest is meh.
