Most ridiculous baby thing?

Rrrrrachel · April 2014

What's your one most ridiculous baby item? The thing you're almost ashamed to admit you own.

Mine is this:

It goes underneath the crib mattress and makes it vibrate. Because as much as I am anti extra baby crap I will do almost anything to get some sleep.

I just bought some newborn sized Cole Haan shoes from Marshall's.. They were $15 but I know that was a waste of $15.. Hopefully I'll at least get a cute picture of him in them

pbandjmom · April 2014

I bought a foot rest/pouf for $135 on Etsy. My husband thought I was ridiculous, but I'm obsessed with it.

That Baby Bullet thing to make baby food. My sister insisted that I needed it and SO really wanted it, so I caved. Seems like a regular blender would be just fine.

4...no, wait...5 strollers. $:\$ ">

isamaraguirre · April 2014

I don't think it is a ridiculous item but the quantity might be excessive. 5 or so baby nail clippers? I have one in the nursery, one in living room, one in the bathroom, one in the car, and one in his bag.
Hey! I can't predict when he will fall asleep after he is born, might as well be prepared

Rrrrrachel · April 2014

Lol, yes normal items in excessive amounts also counts!! I'm not sure 5 baby nail clippers actually is excessive, though. I can never find those things!

Huh! They are so tiny.

Girl after my own heart. Strollers are always my most ridiculous baby purchases. And babies don't care about them at all, but I do because they're so damn pretty.

They all serve different purposes! You can't just have one that will do everything you need it to! Just like pairs of shoes (which I also have an excessive number of).

haziedaze · April 2014

We're getting a Mamaroo this time around... and I bought a 3rd Sakura Bloom ringsling, I'm obsessed and wanted #2 to "have his own"

chichi589 · April 2014

He already has 2 pair of toms (my purchases) & a north face (his aunt) so ridiculous but sooooooo adorable

Emztron500 · April 2014

I have a baby-sized zebra-print top hat with some feathers on it. In my defense, it was a gift.

And does it work?
:P

bacorrea · April 2014

I totally bought newborn sunglasses at Carter's. $:\$ "> they are just SO cute and I needed to spend $5 to use my coupon...sooo that's my excuse :-\"

This X_X and my baby bag. I feel a little bad but meh its my last baby.

snmetz7 · April 2014

Mamaroo and a designer baby bag. But I didn't buy them for myself... Does that count?

*sparky* · April 2014

Mamaroo and Baby Shusher

RebeccaY1 · April 2014

We have a bath kneeler, but we registered for it because my DH has really bad knees. There is no way he could bathe the baby in the bathtub without it.

Trgree1712 · April 2014

I bought a Kate Spade diaper bag. It was expensive and I'm sure a non designer diaper bag would have been fine but I figured that I would also be using it as a purse so why not.

pineconey · April 2014

Baby carriers I guess- we have 4 but I've only spent around $40 total. I made 2 and was given 2. They are all different (ring sling, woven wrap, stretchy wrap, and structured carrier) and we do not have a stroller.

Rrrrrachel · April 2014

I have at least four baby carriers. Probably five. I don't think that's at all ridiculous, though.

strawberrytree · April 2014

I am pretty minimalist with gear...but there are a lot of matching rompers for DS1 and DS2 to wear this summer and I went through a ridiculous amount of effort to get one of the matching ones. Both my local store and website were sold out of a certain piece in size 0-3 that I desperately wanted to get to match big brother's, so I begged my FB friends to check their local stores...and one of them found it, bought it, and shipped it to me.

Sarahjess06 · April 2014

Strollers for sure.

I have a single jogger
a double jogger
a sit n stand
and one of the chicco umbrellas.

I still find myself looking at strollers all the time

Twirple · April 2014

I agree with strollers.

We have a frame stroller that holds the car seat

Single stroller

Single jogger

Fancy umbrella stroller

Sit and Stand.

PoppySeedWindsor · April 2014

We have this...

https://www.amazon.com/Boon-Grass-Countertop-Drying-Green/dp/B0032G9E0G

...even though we have no room on our counter for it. But I just REALLY wanted a separate place to dry baby's bottles (We don't have a dishwasher).

And since we're Team Green I've purchased a couple sets of bows to put on baby's head...just in case it's a girl. Luckily my SIL just had their second daughter in mid February so in case LO is a boy, I can just send them to her.

@PoppySeedWindsor Dude, that grass thing is freaking adorable. Now I want one! I mean, it serves a purpose, can't be that ridiculous!

That grass thing is awesome!! Holds a ton of bottles and isn't some monstrosity on the counter. I love it! I still use it for sippy cups or things that we have to hand wash.

I love the boon grass. Plus they have "flower" accessories to hang stuff from. Cutest thing ever!!

We have the boon grass too and LOVE it! It is seriously the best drying rack for bottles and pump parts. Doesn't take up a huge amount of counter space either.

Me either. That's just necessity. No shame.

Then I guess I've got nothin'.

I'm more of a realistic minimalist abd we don't have a nursery to store a bunch of stuff. Kid is sleeping in a pnp in our room. Changing table is a dresser in the adjoining walk-in closet. No real diaper bag- one my aunt made and another that's just a really great shoulder bag that I've had for years. I think we have 8 NB onesies, 15 0-3, 10 3-6, 5 6-9, and a few random other pieces.
Oh we have thousands of wipes. But I haven't purchased a single one- they were all gifts. We are cd-ing so I was going to use cloth wipes, but I guess I'll use a combo since I have them!

Rrrrrachel · April 2014

I use a dish towel sometimes. I like the idea of something that goes in huge washing machine because one things hate about drying racks is they end up gross at the bottom. Those grass ones are super cute,though.

scarles · April 2014

@AprilMay9‌ we have drying mat too. The boon grass is just cute.

I plan on throwing it in the dishwasher whenever necessary.

PoppySeedWindsor · April 2014

@AprilMay9 Some of us people may use drying mats and some of us people may use drying racks.

Thanks everyone for making me feel good about my ridiculous registry item.

And @megla I saw the accessory parts at Target. I want. Baaaaaaaadly.

Newtaylor13 · April 2014

I received the grass thing for my shower, too. I can't wait to use it.

PoppySeedWindsor · April 2014

@jellysparkles

Totally off topic but every time I see one of your posts now I'm like, "MMM. Sausage. I want sausage."

scarles · April 2014

Now that PP have mentioned it, I don't think my dr browns bottles will stand on my cushy dish mat. The wider avent ones may. I'm sure we will use both because we have a shitload of stuff!

rockstarlaw · April 2014

This thread is working the reverse for me - it's actually somewhat convincing me to go ahead and get the K'tan I've been eyeing. We were handed down an Ergo and a sling and I thought it was excessive to buy another carrier. Apparently not!

Ashleypixie · April 2014

We don't have anything ridiculous, but I generally go for the most gadgety and expensive things out there. If it says 4moms anywhere on it, I'll probably buy whatever it is. There's this machine that you put water in one side and powder formula in the other and when you need a bottle you just push a button. I almost bought it until I remembered that I'm breast feeding!

mrsB68 · April 2014

I registered for the boon grass and was contemplating not getting it. Now I am because I want the flower to use with it... Reverse effect of the thread...

Heeb918 · April 2014

I'm guilty of quite a few of these things.... The grass rack, the lullavibe, designer diaper bag, mamaroo, but the big one for me is the pottery barn crib and amazing PBK rosette lampshade. Completely unnecessary and so lovely. Good news is most were gifts.... I just bought the crib.

Doooooo it. Dooooo it. You know you want to...

(YES for peer pressure)

Calla123 · April 2014

Probably the chariot stroller we have....it's not so much the stroller but the attachments we have for it! We have the jogging kit, cycling kit, skiing kit, a baby supporter and an infant sling. I also bought a basket for it and a bottle holder. I bought this for my first daughter and its a double so I am looking forward to adding baby #2 to the set up lol. Here is what we have https://chariot.thule.com/en/ca/products/sport-series/cougar/cougar-2-_-10100928 I guess we do use it every day though to bike lo to daycare or cross country ski or jog so really it's not totally crazy but a HUGE overall investment.
