Let’s look at the inner workings of people’s minds. Here are some actual patents.
My nominees for “Worst Parent of the Year” awards You really have to be twisted to actually get a patent on some of these.
Baby Cage the jaw-dropping solution for co-sleepers
Baby patter um, not sure whether to laugh or be horrified
Cry no More sadomasochism for the newborn set
Junior Jail almost puke worthy.
Diaper Alarm let’s put an electrical sensor against a baby to see if they are wet. brilliant.
Milk Gun what were they thinking
And the ‘just plain odd”
Baby Shower yeah, this is just silly.
Dad Saddle not exactly safe looking, but not horrific either. Along the same lines, but looking a bit less safe is the Shoulder Saddle
Fashion Papoose. I can appreciate the idea, but this is serious overkill. lol. Two main problems with this one. First, why would you need a bottle, and how comfortable would it be strapped to your back, and Second, how would you get the diapers and bottles out of this thing? This has to be the single most uncomfortable sling I have ever seen.
My parents would have liked this one Squabble Shield
And not parenting related, but simply silly
Pantyhose 3x so comfy looking too
Earthquake house “nature’s bowling ball”
and finally, the most practical invention, a Wearable Dog House
If you want to see some more, here is the link to the main website.
Some people (not you) have waaaayyyyy too much time on their hands.
The “squabble shield” made me grin
the “cry no more” made me queasy
Why in the heck would people pay money to patent those things? I do like the dad saddle though. That inventor must have really been thinking hard to come up with that.
