They actually had these in the colonial days. This is just a remake of an old antique item that most people thought went "out of style"

this is not a new idea! they had these over 100 yrs ago. I'll never understand why these "outgrew" popularity... Such a cool idea!

The Rocking Chair And Cradle In One is definitely not a “new gadget” or a “recent parenting innovation.” This has been around for at least 200 years. I’m sure of that because the oldest one I ever saw was made in the early 1800s. Please explain why you included this one.

The rocking chair could do with a higher back. That way your shoulders are supported and you can lean your head back.

The problem is, this is a big piece of furniture that is only good for a very limited time. It will not meet safety standards for children that can sit up.

It's cute but I wouldn't buy something so large with such a short window of usefulness. As soon as the baby can sit up by themselves, that cradle is no longer appropriate. They will be on the floor in a minute.

The chair part honestly doesn't look that comfortable to sit in. the back is too low for relaxing.

come one... you'll use it for how long? like that the baby will never be able to sleep if he never see his parent

    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

    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.
