Baby bucket carrier thingy - Page 2

[bellymama]

see, my son won't stay asleep in the carseat when i take it out. i did it one time at the doc's office an dhe woke up in seconds...plus those grocery cart things look like they could tip over. i am sure they won't, but i get weird.. i also like to have him in a sling or wrap because i feel like the grocery cart or stroller would be a easy way to steal him. again, i am weird. my son sleeps in the sling though, so that makes it easy. when he was newborn he didn't, he had to be in CONSTANT motion...i mean CONSTANT. i bounced on my birth ball A LOT that first month.

That just looks totally uncomfortable.. my main reason for hating the stupid bucket thing (aside from not getting to actually HOLD my child of course is that its too damn heavy! Why on earth would you want to lug that much more weight around?!?!?! I mean, seriously!!

My 15yo dd thought I was showing her a joke website. My dh just looked really stunned and I laughed so hard I got tears in my eyes. I completely understand taking a carseat in somewhere. It was some of the few moments of sleep my ds2 would get sometimes but I would never take it anywhere far enough where I would want something like that. I just can't imagine spending money on something like that. Wow! : Not to mention that thing looks incredibly painful.

i always get a good chuckle when i see this ad!

[ashleylesh]

saw that once before. i just forwarded the site to my MIL and some others. Thought they might get a laugh out of it...

My DH thought it was a joke too. My MIL who is very mainstream said "What kind of moron would wear that?"

I use my bucket when I pop into the convenience store to grab milk or a DVD. For a 5 minute stop, its perfect and that's why there is a handle on it. It's heavy though and I wouldn't want to walk more than a few feet with, let alone with that weight across my shoulder on a skinny strap.

I too wish people would try something else - I grow more in love with my BabyHawk everyday. Yesterday we were out at the Aquarium and there were at least 3 kids screaming in strollers while DS (5 mos) was happily snuggled next to me checking out the fish.

Isn't it obvious? ... Because when they (the babies) stay in the carseat 24/7 you don't EVER have to actually TOUCH them! Sorry, that was very snarky. Off my high horse.

I had something like that for DS only it was built into the carseat itself.

I didn't use it as an alternative to the sling. I used it as an alternative to lugging the plastic bucket around with my hands/arms on the handful of times I needed to go somewhere and he was asleep in the carseat- running into the post office, or picking up the girls from school. If I was going to be out of the car more than 10 minutes I'd put him in the normal sling, but sometimes it was just easier to not fuss with his buckles and just move him and carseat together if we're going right back into the car.

I see this as an alternative to the bucket-toting strollers, not as an alternative to regular babywearing.

Dh uses a bucket-style carseat for his car, and likes it quite a bit. I showed him that ad over the weekend. His response was full of UA violations. Ahem. He was Not Impressed.

Um... the only time I can imagine that thing being useful is maybe if you're flying and you have to carry an infant carseat through an airport. Then it would free your hands for carrying luggage and other things. Otherwise, : . Ow. Just ow.

I showed that site to my dh and he thought that was the stupidest thing he has ever seen in his entire life. Norm when we go somewhere via car and hafta put the bebe in the careseat...he gets struck lugging baby in carseat up the 3 flights of stairs to our apt when we come how...n he always moans about how heavy it all is. He was like...what a waste!!!

Its sad...why r moms soo scared of being attached to their wee babes and carrying them around? Whats with the scary "distance" this stuff encourages...its sad...it breeds a cold culture that is afraid of physical affection and attachment.

I just want to cry when I see stuff like that!

WHY would somebody use that!? I bet it would kill! I actually saw someone with one of those at the breastfeeding store here. Yikes.

[nikihodges]

so here is my question WTH a baby can only ride in a bucket style seat for what 25 lbs? ok the seat itself weighs at least 10lbs why in hell would you not just carry the baby, in a sling: a lady came up to me in the store and said how she was glad to see me carrying my ds instead of having him in the cold hard seat.... i just told her that this (pointing to myself) is wher he LOVES to be....

[danna]

That's so ridiculous it's funny. My DH thought that was a joke. I can't believe how lame that looks.
