Crummy

When this toy arrived, the kids clamored over who would be allowed to test it. So, we tossed it into the backyard during an evening cook-out to keep the youngsters busy.

This toy looks so cool in the package: like a space-age Rubik’s Cube. Sadly, once you start playing with it, the excitement quickly fades.

Marketed to parents who want to give their unborn babies a leg-up on Harvard, the Lullabelly plays to every parent’s fear/desire for their children to be smart, successful and well adjusted.

Call us clueless, but we just don’t understand this item. Honestly, it seems like a waste of beautiful Australian sheepskin. Basically, the Huggie Bear is an unstuffed teddy bear.

Sometimes you just have to wonder how gullible companies think we parents are. Take these infant kneepads, for example. Sure, they’re cute. But they’re absolutely worthless. Why?

The promo on the back of the package claims this DVD “will easily substitute for the sex talk.” We beg to disagree. First of all, the video is only about 20-minutes long.

We really wanted to like this sleeper, which was developed by two parents whose daughter did a midnight striptease in her crib.

So seriously, who willingly brings an annoying song into the house to play over and over and over again until one’s brain explodes out of one’s head?
