Dream Baby Cable Lock Deters Prying Hands of All Sizes

Aaron Burgess — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 16:00:00 GMT

Featuring a built-in combination dial, Dream Baby's new Cable Lock is designed to deter your safecracking toddler from breaking into any space where you're storing something dangerous. But as seen here, the lock also makes a great deterrent against stroller theft. These are tough times we're living in, after all...

Let's See Junior Toss This Fork!

I've laughed every time I've looked at this photo, and I expect to continue laughing for several more looks. However, in its ridiculousness is a pretty good idea--keeping your toddler's utensils and bowl where they belong, on the tray, by use of suction cups. The manufacturers (Dream Baby) claim that the Stay Put cutlery helps toddlers improve hand-eye coordination by subtly "forcing" the utensils into a general area, thus guiding proper placement (although I'm imagining a particularly savvy toddler tossing the fork down only to have it spring back up again). At $9.95 (in blue, pink or yellow) the Stay Put Bowl and Cutlery Set doesn't seem like too much of a risk to try this one out for yourself--especially if forks and bowls are synonymous with grenades in your house.

Dream Baby Tells Humidity to Go Suck an Egg

Lately, we've been featuring all sorts of baby-friendly gadgets that add humidity to the air, but what if your nursery has the opposite problem and is plagued with too much humidity? Without plugs, batteries or changeable filters, Dream Baby's Dry Egg ($20) sits quietly in its blue holder, sucking wetness from the air until its moisture indicator signals that it's all full up. (At that point, the holder's ear-like side pods go from blue to pink.) To dry out and recharge it, microwave the Dry Egg for 10 minutes at 50 percent power (hooray, poached allergens!), but remember to use oven mitts when you take it out.
