Because people insist on having more and more children, more and more products are being developed to help parents deal with these beasts of burden. Aimed at keeping your baby asleep through the night, this little gadget will activate only when the baby starts to stir and make noise.
Once it does, the crib monitor displays several colored lights and starts bumping womb sounds to coo the baby back to slumber. Priced at only $15, it seems worth a try given the fact that it has got to be the only product that has official womb sounds.
Wouldn’t those sounds be based on the mother? There should be a USB attachment to this thing that offer all types of downloadable sounds depending on the type of mother you are. From serene quilt knitting sounds to the sweet sounds of smoking crack…

News to me, but apparently a ton of infants kick the bucket due to over heating. So what’s a parent to do? Enter the Babyglow. Much like the once famed Hypercolor t-shirts from the 90s, the Babyglow jumper changes color when and if the infant’s temperature rises above the ideal 98.6 degrees. Developed by a 42 year old dad, who mind you own two bars, came up with the idea while snoozing on the couch and was awakened to a documentary about babies. The Babyglow will hit the streets in October and cost about $33 (22 UK).

I don’t know which I’m more freaked out by: the fact that the Peekaru Fleece Baby Carrier makes the child look like a Teletuby in training or that it resembles an alien exploding from the womb. Made from 85% recycled fleece and costing $80, the Peekaru Fleece Baby Carrier actually doesn’t includes a baby harness but fits over a carrier.

The Wingman Carbon Fiber baby seat is the epitome of ironic. Why so? Hmmm, let’s think about this. Racers mod their cars with carbon fiber to lighten the load and decrease lap times. Speeding + baby = bad.
Ok, so it’s probably a bit more structurally sound than the standard baby seat and you gotta give its designer, Rory Craig, credit for making it 3 stage adjustable for when your tot starts to grow larger. Before you run out to your high end auto parts store and try to buy it, first you’ll need to help Rory find a backer to make this concept baby seat reality. It cost him $4,000 to make, so I’d expect it to be at best half or 2/3 of that in a retail environment.
