OK MY GENIOUS FRIENDS....CHECK THIS OUT...WHO IS THE ONE THAT THINKS THEY CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE THIS.....ITS CALLED A BOTTLE SLING....I saw it on a advertisement for a baby store....would love to see one of us figure the pattern out.

You know, babies can get chocked so easily and that's what i see with this. you can't stop should they start chocking when in traffic. I talked to a pediatric nurse about laying a baby down and propping up a bottle and she says it's not safe due to if they get chocked or if any of the formula get down in their tiny lungs. Nope this product should be taken off the market. Bonding and holding your baby while feeding is so much better for the baby. They need the security more than we need our time to not do that. When you have children their security comes first above anything we want to do. I rocked and held my babies while they were young and my husband encouraged it. Mine were very secure babies and great adults. Bonding is so important for an infant. I would not recommend this to anyone for their baby. Nothing should take the place of having your baby in your arms. Especially at feeding time. What's more important? Are we such a selfish society? Roberta

I note some of the comments saying about it not being safe in a moving vehicle and totally agree, but if you look at the photo carefully the bottle sling is being used in a shopping cart, not a motor vehicle. Could be handy while dashing around doing your shopping and of course baby is right in front of you, so can be monitored for any choking hazards. Great idea for busy moms.

I am old fashioned, no bottle props for me, although it might be a money maker $$$$. I would opt out. Kay

Not a big fan. I took care of twin boys from 8 weeks old until they started school. When they were babies I sat between them on the bed, couch or floor and still fed their bottles to them every time. It is important to spend that time with them. I took care of a 5yr old girl with R.A.D. and she did not bond with her parents. They always sat her in a corner with a bottle propped up...broke my heart. I offered to feed her once and the mom said "she's ok I turn her facing the corner she'll just fall asleep after a while". When we met again, her needing a babysitter, I could tell the poor thing was different. There are too many gadgets out there for LAZY parenting. I've been told by several parents that they wish there was a way to keep a baby's pacifier in their mouth at night, like tying a blanket around their face!!!! They only gadget I use often are the slings. I can carry a teething/sickly baby in there for a couple hours comfortably. Everybody should take advantage of all the chances to bond with or be near their babies, before you know it they are grown.

Love this great idea!!!!

I had the same reaction as Sue and others. It looks dangerous and why are we so busy that we can't hold the baby when feeding. Then I read about families with multiples and see that this device may have some use. I still do not like it! Love the baby!

Had to check this out and found information stating The Bottle Sling is designed to allow baby to practice holding bottle and encourages hand-eye coordination and another one says it is handy if you have twins, triplets, or multiples. One remark say: Not recommended for use in a moving vehicle. Copied and pasted this information from one of them: Not recommended for use in a moving vehicle. The bottle sling suspends the bottle so the baby can practice holding the bottle while in a semi-upright position. It is as easy as spitting out a pacifier for the baby to stop feeding. Great for parents who need a helping hand and want to let their baby practice holding their own bottle. Doesn't look too difficult to rig something up similar to these as I've seen parents prop babies and their bottles over my years with things more complicated that this. I still prefer to shut off the stove and hold the little ones. Found these holders priced around $20 USA.

I know this is kind of late, but just came across it. This is not to be used in a moving vehicle, unless supervised. I found this on ebay

you can be assured if this is for sale in the USA it has been safety tested before it was "allowed" to sold to the public.

I think it is a great idea....take a look....it is for when driving the car not when you can sit and hold your baby and if you look close to the top picture of the back of it "for use in a moving vehicle. We all have been there when driving and baby wants a bottle and we are driving .... the crying baby makes us more upset then giving the baby a bottle. Just my thoughts and would love to have this pattern to give to the 3 babies being born in the family.

Looks dangerous to me!

I would not like to use it, it's too lovely to give a bottle yourself and have connection with the little one. And talk to and cuddle with it while feeding the bottle....

Oh my goodness what next

Oh my goodness what next

How sad that parents can't spare the time to cuddle their baby and give it a bottle.

It looks pretty easy BUT it also looks like the bottle is force held into the mouth and the baby would not be able to pull away easily if it began to choke.....
