As a brand new parent, it felt somewhat awkward to hold my new baby. They are so squishy and soft, and of course, I was afraid of hurting my child.  Got to support that head and  neck!  I got over his anxiety pretty quickly with the help of pillows at times. The same anxious feeling arose, however, when my second child was born and was placed in the arms of his three-year-old sister.

The Babee Laptime seat is a solution for safely holding baby.

Comfort…Safety… and Convenience!

How often do new moms wish they had a free hand to control bottles, toys, pacifiers and countless other items while holding their babies? Babee Laptime makes it easy for new mothers, dads, grandparents and siblings to enjoy the safety and peace of mind provided by an infant seat that fastens securely around your waist.

• Establish a strong, lasting parent-child bond
• Enjoy longer period of playtime and interaction
• Respond more freely and immediately to your baby’s signals and gestures
• Form a lasting and loving relationship with your baby that will serve
• as the basis for your child’s future intimate relationships

Personally, I think this product misses the boat on several levels. First, skin to skin contact (even through clothing) promotes bonding. Babies can feel the rhythms of your body while you hold them. A seat such as this blocks such personal contact and intimacy.

Secondly, this product is made of polyurethane foam and polyester. Yuck! I don’t want my baby exposed to such toxic fabrics, especially a newborn.

I can see the benefits of such a seat for having a young child hold a baby securely, but a little supervision and pillows are all you really need.  At $129.99, this is a really expensive baby item you don’t need.
