GIVEAWAY: 10 Parenting Products, 10 Winners
When Mazzy was born, I imagined I would come up with an amazing parenting invention that would be easy to market, quick to manufacture and change the lives of every parent in the world, making me filthy stinking rich in the process.
Sadly, that never happened.
I did have an idea for a Burp Cloth Mitt, since I was constantly folding burp cloths over my hand to clean up spit-up… but gave it up as soon as I realized Burp Cloth Mitts were the lamest invention imaginable. I had another idea for a screw-on sippy cap adapter for a standard bottle of water, which I thought would be HUGE, until a google search revealed it was already being made by about five other companies.
But there are tons of moms who come up with original ideas and make their parenting inventions a reality. A group of twenty Mompreneurs got together to see if I would write a sponsored post about their respective Momventions. I loved learning the stories behind each mom's product (all currently available for sale) and decided to split them into two posts.
Here are the first ten Momventions with the stories behind each idea and how each mom turned their idea into a business. Plus special offers for Mommy Shorts readers throughout and a big giveaway at the end of the post.
Momvention #1: Baby Bindle SeatPak ($29.99)
What is it?
The SeatPak is a hands-free portable bag that can easily attach to your car seat, shopping cart, luggage, or stroller.
What gave you the idea?
After my daughter was born in July of 2009, doing errands became a circus juggling act, trying to hold the car seat, diaper bag, my daughter's coat and my son’s hand all at once. I tried to find a bag that attached to the carseat so I would have one less thing to carry, but couldn't find anything. My next step was dusting off the sewing machine and making one myself.
How did you turn it into a business?
The SeatPak idea sat on the shelf for 6 months because I was afraid I'd go into debt chasing something that might not work. Then, in July of 2010, I got a $15K grant from the Huggies MomInspired program which was a HUGE validation for me. I haven’t looked back since.
Special Offer: Order the SeatPak on Amazon now for 30% off.

Momvention #2: The Milk It Kit ($14.95)
Mom: Courtney Uyeshiro
What is it?
The Milk It Kit is a "Back to Work Survival Kit for Breastfeeding Moms" including a door hanger privacy sign, a pump bag tag (luggage tag), two "back in twenty" desk signs, 32 milk labels (removable, writable and freezer-safe) and 3 Milk It™ stickers.
What gave you the idea?
I wanted to create a kit that would give new moms tools to feel good when they went back to work, provide a sense of privacy, and add a little fun to the repetitive (and often tedious) task of pumping milk. The Milk It Kit helps prevent co-workers from walking in on pumping sessions and making comments about unmarked breastmilk in the community fridge (i.e. “what is THAT?”). It also helps traveling moms transport their milk in a clearly labeled cooler bag so airport security doesn't ask annoying questions in front of other travelers.
How did you turn it into a business?
I met an amazing graphic designer in Boulder, CO (who also happened to be a working mom!) and she and I worked together to create a variety of products with a vintage vibe that we ourselves would love to use. They are both mom-friendly and environment-friendly.
Special Offer: 10% off for Milk It with code Mommyshorts10.

Momvention #3: PooPoose Wiggle Free Diaper Changing Pad ($59.99)
What is it?
The PooPoose is high quality diaper changing pad with a wiggle free strap that makes diaper changing faster, easier, and safer.
What gave you the idea?
My husband, an ER physician, had seen too many infants in the hospital, most due to accidental falls during routine tasks, like changing a wiggly baby with a messy diaper. We both knew there had to be a better and safer way. I searched the internet and found many moms in the same boat, with no real solution. I work as a dentist and it suddenly occurred to me— why isn’t there a similar board like the one used in pediatricdentistry and medicine to keep kids still? The medical community calls it "a papoose board". That's when we came up with the idea for the PooPoose™!
What would you like to invent next?
A better strap that helps keep kids in restaurant high chairs. My daughter is a true Houdini.

Momvention #4: Baby Jack Blankets ($28)
Mom: Kelley Legler
What is it?
Baby Jack Blankets are ribbon tab sensory blankets that come in a variety of colors, patterns and textures ideal for helping babies develop cognitively, socially and emotionally.
What gave you the idea?
My son Jack loves tags. When I was let go from my marketing job after returning from maternity leave, I needed a creative outlet and took up sewing. Many tag blankets on the market have ribbon loops along the edges but I decided to create a product with an added security feature, sewing the ribbons shut into “tabs” so baby fingers do not get twisted during play.
How did you turn it into a business?
I was a new mom, at home full time having just been let go from my job and I saw a product that little ones loved. I marketed Baby Jack Blankets first on Facebook and then created an ecommerce website myself allowing for others to customize their blankets. Now, we employ local moms to hand make our products for added income and a creative outlet.

Momvention #5: Push Pack – Prepacked Hospital Bag ($44.95)
Mom: Laura Magu
What is it?
The Push Pack – Prepacked Hospital Bag contains all your maternity ward essentials from toothpaste to nipple cream to Luna Bars.
What gave you the idea?
While pregnant for the first time, the "simple" task of packing my hospital bag felt overwhelming to me. One day I asked a local maternity store if I could just buy a bag that would have all of the essentials. She said no, but that women asked for that exact thing all the time.
How did you turn it into a business?
After my daughter was born, I started making up prepacked hospital bags for baby shower gifts. Everyone loved them and people began asking if they could buy them for gifts for their friends. It evolved from there.
Special Offer: Use coupon code Mommyshorts10 for 10% off Push Pack – Prepacked Hospital Bag.
—————————————–
Momvention #6: Tivoli Stroller Liner ($78.99)
Mom: Stella Rubinshteyn
What is it?
Tivoli Couture makes luxury memory foam stroller liners in a variety of stylish patterns that mold to your baby's body shape for extra comfort. They help absorb stroller shock, safeguard from metal protrusions often found in umbrella-style strollers and are recommended to help avoid musculoskeletal stress and correct anatomical development. They also protect strollers from spills, crumbs and other unmentionables.
What gave you the idea?
I am originally from Europe, where it’s common practice to place children inside a stroller lined with a cotton blanket or a buggy liner so it's soft, comfortable and clean. Typical American stroller upholstery is not removable or machine washable, and may feel abrasive on your baby’s skin. The only liner I could find in the American market was a traditional white liner with ruffles, something that just did not cut it for my sons.
How did you turn it into a business?
After realizing there was a gap in the market for stylish stroller liners in fun modern designs and prints that can coordinate with any popular stroller brand, I set out to create my own line.
Special Offer: 15% off Tivoli Couture if you use code MSHOLIDAY15.

Momvention #7: Benbini Mommy Watch ($99)
Moms: Jacqueline Crisci & Jenny Fosgate
What is it?
Benbini is a soft, stylish and super functional watch with a patented double-bezel design for easy timing of naps, feedings and time-outs. It's even got a left/right switch so you can easily record which boob you nursed with last.
What gave you the idea?
Jacqueline saw a need for a subtle way to track her son's many schedules from feedings to naps to medicine. Jenny wanted a watch that did not scratch her baby and fit comfortably. They both wanted a cute accessory to get excited about while recovering from their post pregnancy body. Benbini was born!
How did you turn it into a business?
We had to handle all aspects of the business from product design to manufacturing to marketing including all of the administration duties. We came up with the idea 6.5 years ago and Benbini just hit the market a little over a year ago. Entrepreneurship is not for quitters. We never gave up!
Special Offer: Get 10% off Benbini by using code MommyShort10.
—————————————–
Momvention #8: Parking Pal (2 for $18)
Mom: Denise Whitney
What is it?
Parking Pal is a circular magnet that sticks to the side of your car.
What gave you the idea?
After having my third child, I found myself very stressed out in parking lots trying to manage two other kids while getting the baby in and out of the van. The idea of a magnet with a hand outline came to me. I wanted to give my kids a visual of exactly where to stand while waiting for me outside of the car.
How did you turn it into a business?
The first thing I did was get my mom on board as a partner. We work well together and I knew I would need the help. Then we found a designer and manufacturer. We've been at it almost seven years.
What's next?
We just introduced two new products— Penalty Pal for time outs and Emergency Phone List, a removable wall decal to put important numbers.
Special Offer: 10% off Parking Pal with code mommyshorts.
Follow Parking Pal on Facebook
—————————————–
Momvention #9: Wrapeaze
Mom: Betsy Dolan
What is it?
Wrapeaze is a warm blanket your baby can wear both in and out of the carseat instead of a jacket.
What gave you the idea?
Since the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recommends children not be placed in car seats with jackets and/ or heavy bunting, I always found myself struggling to get my baby's jacket on in the cold, after he was removed from his seat. One day, I gave up and just threw a blanket over the baby's head and wrapped him up! This was my AHA moment! Why wasn't there a blanket kids could wear?
How did you turn it into a business?
Wrapeaze started because friends and family were asking where they could purchase my wearable blankets for themselves. I began employing local tailors and then finally moved to a local factory in Fall River MA. We have now developed sizes for toddlers, tweens and adults. Everyone loves the ease of use for travel, the car or just running errands.
Special Offer: Get 10% off Wrapeaze by emailing betsy@wrapeaze.com with MommyShorts as the subject.

Momvention #10: Lovey's Tushi Wash, Stick and ChafeStop ($48)
Mom: Marcie Weinstein Smith
What is it?
Lovey's are all-natural baby products including a spray to be used instead of commercial wipes and an all-natural diaper cream stick that prevents parents from getting messy hands.
What gave you the idea?
My son got rashes from every commercial and so-called natural product on the market when he wore diapers. I created a TRULY natural spray to clean my poor boy's rashy bottom (with a reusable or biodegradable wipe) and it worked!
How did you turn it into a business?
I began talking to retailers and then launched at a tradeshow. Then I came up with other all-natural unique products such as Lovey's Tushi Stick, an all-natural convenient diaper ointment in a stick to prevent parents from getting messy hands. Lab tested, we inundated it with 5 strains of bacteria. It has enough "natural preservative" to kill the nasty bacteria on the stick and on the baby's skin. Bingo! A very popular product was born. ChafeStop was developed next after I learned runners were using the Tushi Stick to prevent chafing during marathons. Now, in addition to new moms, we market to athletes, seniors, disabled, plus-sized individuals, prosthetic wearers, and pregnant women.
What's next?
Cheek balm. Those delicate cheeks can get dry and chapped from the dry, cold winter weather.
Special Offer: 10% off Lovey's by using code MOMMY10.

UPDATED with Giveaway Winners (selected at random with their momvention idea)
Baby Bindle Seat Pak: Sara
"My momvention would be a 1st bib. Instead of having a different bib for baby's first valentine's day, baby's first thanksgiving, etc. It would be one bib that has Baby's 1st and then Velcro pieces that you could change out what the holiday is. One bib for the whole year for each holiday instead of a dozen or so."
The Milk It Kit: Janine
"I always wanted to make a long-sleeve bib (with an optional hood) for particularly messy meals like spaghetti and sauce!"
PooPoose: Carly
"A bib for breastfed babies spit up. One that is super absorbent so I don't have tip change his clothes every time he spits up or pukes. With a nice absorbent collar."
Baby Jack Blanket: Betsy
"An extra arm so you could hold the baby (or whiny one year old) while cooking."
Push Pack – Prepacked Hospital Bag: Sara
"I would invent some safe way to hypnotize my daughter so she would actually sleep on a road trip and not stay awake for every single second!"
Tivoli Couture Stroller Liner: Shana
"My momvention would be a changing table that also would have a barista function, fully functioning, coffee at any time, safely of course."
Benbini Watch: Ashley
"My momvention would be something to block my daughters hands from going straight to her privates (she's curious now) when I do a diaper change. Too many times I open the diaper to a poopy diaper and her hands get into the mess. Bleh!!"
Parking Pal: Kara
"I would invent a nursing cover with a small pillow attached. I'm a boppy user and while they have a travel one, I just need a small pillow, something that fits in a diaper bag."
Wrapeaze: Nici
"I would invent a thing that keeps things plugged into the wall. It is scary and annpying when a toddler figures out how to unplug cords!"
Lovey’s Products: Alexis
"My momvention would be a crib where you can automatically adjust the height of the legs to make getting the baby in and out of the crib easier. You could also change the height of just one end of the crib to tilt the mattress for babies with acid reflux. We had to stack boards under one end of my son's crib to elevate his head and I wasn't entirely sure that the crib was stable."

This post and giveaway was sponsored by all the products involved.
Automatic toilet paper dispenser that dispenses only 2 sheets at a time and is programmable for a two minute restriction between dispersals. So tired of walking in the girls’ bathroom to find that the brand new mega roll of charmin that I just hung is just flat gone. Then you stare at the empty toilet wondering if there’s 100ft wad of toilet paper just sitting in your rental house’s pipes.
I would like to invent a bottle holder that would hold the bottle out in front of the baby and would tilt the bottle so the baby could drink the bottle in his or her stroller while mom pushes it. This would be a great invention dor babies that have trouble transitioning to sippy cups or who are too young to use a sippy cup
I want to start a parking lot daycare for restaurants. I would modify an RV and make it very kid friendly with eating/playing/sleeping space. Locating it in the parking lot would give families the opportunity to test their child’s temperament during the meal but if there was a melt down, they would take the child out to the parking lot daycare and finish their meal in peace. It would also be good for new parents who don’t want to spend TOO long away from their child – either for emotional or breast feeding reasons. It may make a night out more accessible for some families cutting down on the time a sitter is needed (if you’ve got a long commute to decent restaurants then you’re paying roundtrip time for babysitters). The parking lot daycare would offer kid friendly food as well so that your child/ren could enjoy a meal away from home as well. It could be structured as a bonus offered by (and paid for by) the restaurant or as an hourly service paid for by each family.
Brilliant!!!
When it happens to you, its the worst thing ever. One time I had to bring the car seat in through the drivers seat, put it on the passenger seat, climb over the middle myself, and then maneuver the car seat through.
Reinvent the onsie for crawlers, so the snaps are more towards the back then front. Chasing babies around with your hands shoved up to their navel while they crawl is awkward and uncomfortable to say the least.
My momvention? A car seat that has a shorter handle so my babies carrier isn’t slapping me in the shin while I carry it. (P.S. I’m short)
I liked tham all! What wonderful pages and smart women.
My in-laws live in Scottsdale. There is a store there that rents baby items (pack & play, highchair, stroller, toys, bouncer, car seat, etc.). It is wonderufl when we come to visit because they rent everything and we don’t have to bring it. I know these types of places exist in Florida too near vacation locations and other places where people tend to retire and have grandkids visit. Absolutely brilliant concept! Wish I had thought of it.
I use a nipple shield so perhaps a holder for the diaper bag that won’t mash it and a strap, like ones for pacifiers, to attach it to my shirt or something so I won’t drop it in the middle of the night.
Someone may have already said this, but a sleep enhancer machine! Something that we would “plug in to” at night to trick our post-baby bodies into feeling like we got 7-8 instead of 3-4 until we find our new sleep groove as a family (or until the kid is 18, whichever comes first). 🙂
My momvention would be a crib where you can automatically adjust the height of the legs to make getting the baby in and out of the crib easier. You could also change the height of just one end of the crib to tilt the mattress for babies with acid reflux. We had to stack boards under one end of my son’s crib to elevate his head and I wasn’t entirely sure that the crib was stable.
So many of these are those “darn, why didn’t I think of that?!” inventions!
I feel like I’ve had so many good ideas in the past, then I Google them and they’ve all been done! Guess I’m not as clever as I think I am. 😉
My Momvention would be a caddy to put in the fridge with sippy cups filled already with milk and water. Kid asks for something to drink? Just grab and you’re done. Seems simple but if done right I think it could work well!
Pretty sure my comment just got lost since I was typing from Bloglovin. Re-typing it! I’m a Mommy Shorts fan, of course!
So many of these inventions are those “why didn’t I think of that??” I feel like I’ve had a lot of good ideas for products, but when I Google them, they’ve all been done before. Guess I’m not as clever as I thought I was!
My Mom-vention would be a cute little caddy for the fridge with sippy cups, kind of like a 6-pack, that you can have filled with water and milk. When your kid asks for something to drink, you can just pull from the fridge instead of finding a cup, pouring the milk, etc. Seems simple, but if executed right it could work well!
there’s something very similar to this called Cuddlecloth

I would invent a nursing cover with a small pillow attached. I’m a boppy user and while they have a travel one, I just need a small pillow, something that fits in a diaper bag.
Pinned!
Following!
LOVE THIS IDEA! Currently having the same problem….
My momvention would be a pack that plugs in with an insulated cooler on one side for keeping bottles cold and a built in bottle warmer on the other. You could keep it in your bedroom for night time feedings and it would also have a car adapter for longer car trips and days out and about. I cannot be the only one that dislikes the 3am half asleep stumble down the stairs.
(I am a Mommy Shorts Fan!)
A bib for the car for car sickness. Would have to be soft/comfortable, have a “catcher” and be large enough to cover baby and car seat. I have searched for a product that meets this criteria and have not found it!
following wrapeaze and baby jack blankets on FB!
My invention would be something that eliminates whining. I can’t describe it as have yet to invent it, but preliminary design involves a high pitch squeal that only kids can hear with their bat-like ears.
I always wanted to make a long-sleeve bib (with an optional hood) for particularly messy meals like spaghetti and sauce!
My 5-month-old daughter is tube-fed and all I really need in life is something to hold the tube upright and out of her increasingly curious reach during feedings… or possibly a third arm. Does genetic mutation count as a “momvention”??
I love the wrapeaze , but why are they almost $50 for one? (Including shipping). That seems pretty high priced to me. My invention would also be a different shopping cart at the grocery store that accommodates a car seat, diaper bag, and all your groceries.
Also followed wrapeaze and Babybindle.
I’d invent something to keep my toddler occupied in the car…that was also educational. His DVD player does the trick, but I get mom guilt when he watches it too much…
I would invent some safe way to hypnotize my daughter so she would actually sleep on a road trip and not stay awake for every single second!
I also follow you on Pinterest and pinned your post!
I would mom-vent a mask to put over my eyes that makes my eyes appear closed, however I can still see through them to check on my baby. My two month old often looks up at night to see if my eyes are still closed / mummy’s still sleeping. If he busts me with them open watching him it takes forever to get him back to sleep.
Nothing thicker than a shirt between baby and carseat. Puffy coats compress and allow the child to be thrown from the car.
A lot of moms put their babies in the carseat and then put their coats on backwards. I keep a blanket by the back door that I wrap my nearly 2 year old in before we go out and then once he is strapped in, I cover him with it.
And one that uses soft velcro to close instead of sticking. Pregnancy made me allergic to adhesive.
Good idea!!
Especially for plus size ladies. It’s really hard to find maternity things that aren’t leggings!
I wonder if you could use something like a cat water fountain?
That is brilliant!
I always handed my son something that took two hands for him to hold – admittedly sometimes my phone with toddler lock turned on – so that he kept his hands up.
Now that he’s almost ready for potty training, when I get ready to change his diaper he says “HANDS UP MOMMY” and puts his hands on his head.
My momvention would be a changing table that also would have a barista function, fully functioning, coffee at any time, safely of course ;0)
My sister in law has one that folds very thin! They take it everywhere! Something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Costco-Baby-Booster-High-Chair-Seat-Fold-Feeding-Tray-Travel-Infant-Toddler-/321265147126
My mom-vention would be a self-buckling carseat. I do not mind changing diapers, but the one mommy thing that drives me crazy is buckling and unbuckling and adjusting and readjusting the stupid carseat straps a million times every day!
I followed Loveys, WrapEaze and PushPack, because those are the products I’m most excited about!
Also followed Mommy Shorts on Pinterest and pinned the image! Fingers crossed!
I think this is such a cute idea and a lot of people would really be interested in it. As the momventor of a hand sewn product, you could try applique attachments!
Ashlee this is a cute idea. Maybe some sort of attachment to the window (side suction?) I think it is something you should go after!
I tried posting this 2nd comment the other day but it didn’t let me. I’m already your fan on Facebook, and I liked baby bindle, poopoose, wrapeaze, and tivoli couture. I’m already your follower on Pinterest and I re-pinned your pin 🙂
I would invent the robot maid from the Jetson’s. I like mothering. I hate cleaning.
I don’t know what the deadline for this contest is, but I just thought of my invention last night when my son dropped, not one, not two, but three pacifiers under his crib during the middle of the night. My invention would be some sort of netting that would be placed under a baby’s crib at an incline. This way when the baby dropped his pacifier on the wall side of the crib, it would easily roll to the exposed side making it easier for the parent to find in the middle of the night. A more complex version of this could be set up like the ball return on a billiard table. I may just fashion something like this under my baby’s crib tonight!
I would invent a thing that keeps things plugged into the wall. It is scary and annpying when a toddler figures out how to unplug cords!
I follow on pinterest and repinned.
Ndrobinson
My momvention would be a robot daddy! Since my sons soon to be dad is overseas, it would be awesome to have a similar daddy at home for help with baby!
My momvention would be a dirty diaper alarm,lol. It would alert you when baby needs to be changed
i liked baby jack blankets and wrapeaze on facebook
A vaccuum/toy sorter contraption of some sort. Bending over to pick up toddler toys while very pregnant is so hard, it would be nice to have something suck up and sort and put away toys!
I follow more than 2 on facebook!
My momvention would be a car seat buckle cover that my 2 and 4 yr olds could not undo. Our 2 yr old is a Hudini lol.
I love the watch, stylish and functional. It is also something you can use as your baby grows up even for simple things like timing the roast in the oven!
I also like the stroller liner. I have 5 kids and those strollers get pretty grubby!
My momvention would be a tipped cup alarm. Even the best non drip cups tend to leak when tipped for long enough. So I would have a buzzer in the cup when it is tipped on its side for longer than 5 minutes.
I pinned, I am following 2 boards.
My momvention would be a pad that not only catches leaky breast milk but also applies lanolin so it stays on instead of getting wiped off. That would be the best.
Followed Babybindle and poopoose.
Pinned
My momvention would be a straw cup where the straw hangs all the way to the bottom and has a weight at the bottom so it could swirl around the cup to get all of the liquid.
Pinned
I liked Parking Pal and Wrapeze of which I need both right now. I see all those FB posts about not putting coats on your kids while they’re in carseats so I don’t. For my kids safety, I love to add another 10 mins to get them in and out of the car AND getting to stand in the rain and snow whilst getting their coats off and on. 🙂
I would invent some sort of handle to attach to stroller handles to extend them, being almost 5’11” I literally have to slouch over to push any stroller and not only does it kill your back, its also not very attractive to have your tush sticking out like that lol
I would invent an instant warming wipe pack for on the go. My little man hates cold wipes 🙁
I’ve been turning women’s socks into baby leggings. I want to start snapping socks to them for a super warm way to keep baby’s legs and feet warm.
I followed several of the wonderful companies above!
Was able to like 8 of 10 on FB
Followed Parking Pal, Benbini & Lovey’s on Facebook
Repinned on Pinterest as well!
A twelve hour cloth diaper for all night heavy wetters like my little guy!!
I like loveys, milk it kit, and push pack on facebook
Liked and recommend on Pinterest
Repinned… Silly auto correct
I follow you on FB! My momvention would be (I have a few): “stealth steps” They are glow in the dark “foot steps” for parents to put in nursery’s where they floors creak. So when you are walking in and out, you can step in just the right areas where the floor won’t creak! I also want to create a “boogie belt” or more fashion forward sounding “peplum pouch.” It is more for childcare workers, but it is, simply, a fanny pack with tissue dispensing, hand sanitizer dispensing, and a bag where you can collect boogie filled tissues. You can put in a key, etc.
I would create pumping bras that have pocket to hold milk collection cups in place so you don’t have as much wasted milk.
I also like a big sibling bag to make the older kid(s) feel contacted to the new little one and still have a place.
I am following pushpack and milkit on facebook
My mom invention would be something that would make baby milk at the press of a button without having to get up! Liked on facebook!

this is really good. I would like one for my husband.
I need this for my husband too.
I agree. We use a thirsties with the AMP hemp tri fold, works perfect for leaks but the ammonia smell can knock you out in the morning…
Follow on facebook my mom invention would be one that changes the diapers for you or that entertains baby for you while you need to clean, cook, bathe!

I would invent an instant changing table that could be folded up for easy use and storage and included space to store diapers and wipes.
Liked Benbenni and poopose
I would invent a lighted car seat, my daughter hates being in the back of the car at night so a soft glow would keep her happy as well as lighting the way while carrying her through the dark once we get where we are going.
Liked Wrapease and Parking Pal!
A washer (like a small dishwasher) to get all the poo of cloth diapers.. I am dreading having to start spraying when my son starts solids in the next month or so!
Following all of the pages! Love the idea of a pre-packed hospital bag.. especially since I went into preterm labor and ended up not having ANYTHING packed!
Also I’m following on pinterest and repinned! (Pinterest username is Sam Camerer)!
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a self cleaning house! Too big, huh? =)
An extra arm so you could hold the baby (or whiny one year old) while cooking.
Also, pinned.
I would invent something that allowed kids’ clothes to grow with them, so you’re not buying whole new wardrobes every 3 months. Sort of like the snaps that fit onto onesies, but for whole outfits?
