Parents are concerned about having the infant sleep on its back or stomach because of S.I.D.S. ( i can't remember which because i don't have any kids). How about a baby sleeper suit (one of those one piece things with feet) that has velcro on one side. The opposite of the velcro is built into the crib
sheets. This keeps the baby in place when it is sleeping. I also think this could work if instead of on the sheets you have the other side of the velcro attached to a wall. This would be helpful by the wall mounted kitchen phone so that when it rings you can just attach the baby to the wall at eye height and have both hands to hold the phone and take notes and can still keep an eye on the screaming kid.

have baby velcro'd to the wall in an upright position seems safest. I believe if you lay it on its stomach, it can suffocate or vomit. putting it down on its back, is I believe the cot-death related position. |

welcome to the halfbakery [drewwid] you are quite mad. I like that in a person. croissant. |
|
| |
Is today some sort of velcro-related holiday or something? Lots of velcro activity on the bakery for some reason. |

Sheesh. Why not just put the kid in a locked cage mounted to the wall? |
|
| |
another good idea, snarfy. |
|
| |
The baby should be placed on its back or side to lower the risk for cot death; see link. |

Oddly enough, someone here in the states tried this with extra strength tape. Got tired of all the babies crawling around in the daycare they were in charge of so they taped the little rug rats on the wall. When asked, they said they thought it looked funny. Needless to say, they are curretnly unemployeed. |
|
| |
My dilemma: would they develop overly large muscles trying to free themselves from whatever they were stuck to? Or would they never learn to crawl? |

The police have a hotline for people like that. |

Given the rate at which velcro hooks pick up fluff, you'll never have to do any hoovering any more. |
|
| |
I'm puzzled though. just how strong is Velcro? How much (or little) velcro would you need on the baby/wall given a baby of weight W? There must be some sort of surface area to weight ratio. I'll have a baby to test this on in a few months ... |
|
| |
It's certainly a practical idea, after all the Bar-Fly game works great. |
|
| |
i would think the surface area of a baby's back would be enough to hold them. They have those velcro walls that you can run and jump up on and that can support an adult. (is the velcro wall the bar-fly game?) I am not suggesting this be an extended stay solution just so you can get your hands free for a minute or two and still keep an eye on the bundle of screaming joy. |

and before you know it, minor celebrities will be buying the Vuitton version of this product.... |

I like this, but you'd have to design it to be fairly safe (you wouldn't want babies just falling on kitchen floors every time the phone rang). And Velcro is rough, which might annoy mom's tender skin after a hard day's mothering. It might bother the kid, too. |
|
| |
This is a great idea - especially if you have too many
babies and need a way to keep them all in one
place. |
|
| |
There's lots of things like that in need of revision. |

// Why not just put the kid in a locked cage mounted to the wall // |
|
| |
The cage must have velcro too, to keep the baby in non-S.I.D.S. position. |
