I notice that a lot of babies like movement. Have you ever watched a baby scream just so their parent would pick them up and take them somewhere? Have you noticed that they usually stop screaming when they do?
Cribs are (as far as I know) stationary. But not anymore. Ghillie, jr. is now chugging
around the room in his little Snooze-Snooze Train. After placing Ghillie, jr. in one of the train cars, you turn on the electric motor (which works much like the model trains) and leave the room. A small musical box is turned by the wheels, providing noise so jr. doens't feel alone. As he chugs slowly down the track (which is installed around the entire room), he is rocked to sleep by the sloping edges attached to the rail. Every once in awhile a bell quietly goes off, and the optional humidifier blows out of the smokestack. And when jr. needs to be fed, a noise activated steam whistle goes off, to ensure that jr. doesn't have to wait.
In case you want to accessorize.

One key component of my son's early childhood development was a wind-up rocking crib (it also converted to a rocking chair and had a battery-driven option). So, sorry, they got that one covered already. |
|
| |
Hm. Do you have a link, dr? I'd like to see that. At least, when I get a kid. |
|
| |
But your crib isn't exactly the same as what I was describing. Your's was stationary, but rocking; mine is moving forward, and rocking. Plus the crib is being rocked by the track itself, not by a motor. |
|
| |
Could it be configured to go around a Christmas tree? That is how I am setting mine up. (+) |
|
| |
With the option of a princess's
carriage for baby girls. (+) |
|
| |
Ew, no thanks. I'd rather my girls ride the train than be pigeonholed into THAT nauseating stereotype from Day 1, tyvm.
Great idea, ghillie. |
|

"In the news today, a derailment on the baby crib line disrupted little Ghillie jr's afternoon nap. Investigators on the scene believe the incident occurred after the wheels of the household sushi train were guided onto the wrong track, possibly by a disgruntled former passenger of the baby crib line, little bhillie, aged 4." |
|
| |
Love the idea ghillie... perhaps to be extended to go all round the inside of the house? |
|
| |
I’d like to have the tracks suspended from the ceiling. And the train would chug from room to room on the ceiling tracks, through cutouts way up in the walls. It would descend only in the kids room—every half hour or so. |
|
| |
Normally I would do anything for a croissant, [foolserrand], but your suggestion kind of defeats the purpose. |
|
| |
I like this but think that, more practically, a device which attaches to the crib and makes sounds and rythmically shakes or vibrates the crib might be a better thing than actually moving the crib. |

Accompanied by HD video. Sort of a movie ride crib. |

//THAT nauseating stereotype//
Could you be more specific? What
stereotype is "THAT?" |
|
| |
"What stereotype is THAT?" |
|
| |
PRINCESS!.....unless you ARE royalty, on this website one never knows |
|
| |
A princess is not a stereotype. Please see the defintion of "stereotype." |
|
| |
To be fair, my daughter can play with trucks and bugs if she wants, but she also has the choice to play with dolls and pretend to be a princess. My original comment was that a carriage version should be availabe along with the rail-car version. |
|
| |
Call me old fashioned?
(Sorry this has gotten so off-topic) |
|
| |
Note: a discussion is not officially off track until someone mentions Godwin's Law. |
|
| |
Sorry [jballard], I was just answering for [lintkeeper2] the princess attitude, ie.bossy demanding deserving of special treatment, that stereotype. Putting a girl in a princess carriage won't do it, I'll admit. |

//crawls out of the crib//
How long do you keep babies in a crib? Surely not long enough for them to be able to crawl out and around! (Never had one, remember my age!) |
|
| |
You keep them there til they crawl out, then they go to some kind of safer "youth bed" . My little gymnast was out of his crib at 10 months, we had to put a mattress on the floor for him and double doggy doors on his room door to keep him in at night. |
|
| |
so Ghil, you married? thinking about babies? just curious... |
|
| |
*blush* No, I'm only 17... |
|
| |
“thinking about babies? just curious...”
“No, I'm only 17...”
And this is how God’s plan works. |
|
| |
How many incarnations is this idea going to have [ghillie]? |
