Oh. My. God. This product is apparently Proudly Made in America, which is possibly the only country in the world who could be proud of something like this. It is basically a device which assists parents in balancing a bottle so that their tiny baby can attempt to drink from it. I could go at length into what is wrong with this product, but suffice to say that the practice of “prop-feeding” has been banned in children’s wards in Australia for years because of the risk of the child choking and drowning in their own milk.
Shame, Toys ‘R’ Us. Shame.

What?!! I had this really stupid idea that childrens products had to meet certain safety standards . . .
I guess you don’t have multiples. You try feeding 3 children at the same time by yourself all day long.
I think it’s a good idea. Like Lora said if you have more than one child it’d be virtually impossible to feed them all at once. Although it should definately have some very obvious warnings about safety and supervision while using the product.
