After dealing with the extreme contortions children can perform when having their nappies changed, I think a free mask or false nose, or google eye glasses given away with nappies would be great. A suprise gift for parents yet entertaining for baby. Nappy time would be far less of an ordeal.

Suprise, Fotune, where will it all end?

Does the google eye come with a built in search engine?

Oh no! I didn't check, is it baked? sorry.

lol, no, www.google.com IS a search engine :)

(and a good one at that)

Would the false nose keep a baby from rolling all the way prone? Googly-eyes might work for the youngest babies, but as they aged it would make sense to switch to a distraction that is farther from reach until the more mature, prehensile, baby sports something decorative but quite out of reach.

How do you keep the google-eye glasses on the baby?
-- waugsqueke, Jan 13 2002


The parent is supposed to wear whatever may be given with the nappy, to keep baby focused on one point. It doesn't have to be facial features. Hats, wigs etc., but obviously they would need to be cheap to manufacture.

I am quite sure that we look strange and funny to babies anyway. Maybe this is why they cry during a diaper change in the first place, so why should this make a difference? Most parents I know make faces while changing a diaper anyway, whether they mean to or not.

My folks always put me on what they affectionately called The Rack.

So put on the google eye glasses - baby immediately scared shitless by frightening new google eye monster grabbing hold of them - hey presto, full nappy. Nice one.
