The Shakedown

When we visited our friends, they had a vibrating baby seat for us to try. Before I had a baby I believe I said something like: "oh that's the dumbest thing ever. Why would you need a vibrating baby seat?" The answer, of course, is if your baby refuses to be put down on a still surface and will only sit in a carrier for so long. Carrying around a baby all day gets pretty old, especially if you want/need to use two hands. A vibrating baby seat can be a boon!

We managed to locate one second hand. Matilda is not particularly in love with it, but it works some of the time. Here are some pictures that prove that she doesn't hate it.

It also comes with dangley toys to attach on it for when she is interested in such things. (Apparently not yet.) The family that sold it to us said their son used it until he was almost 3. Not bad for a $10 investment on our part! For what it's worth, Matilda also loves riding in the car seat- either in the stroller attachment from Grammy Nammy or in the car proper.
