Most useless bit of baby equipment you bought

  • We bought one of those carry sling things, only put the baby in it once and she screamed the house down. We also have a plethora of baby cups that she refuses to drink from.
    Nothing to see here, move along.

    We had one of those inflatable baby nest things and that kept both of mine quiet for ages. The cover came off for washing and I couldn't throw it away when I finished with it and put it on Ebay instead. Somebody did buy it. :j

    The bouncy chair was a godsend too, lovely lilac checked one from Mothercare, used it for both of mine. Cover was easy to wash. Couldn't throw that away either, traded it in as part payment for a stroller buggy.

    Baby bath was a total waste of money and space! Far too heavy to carry!
    The baby sling wasn't any use to me either. I couldn't manage to walk around with her as I have a bad back and it made it so much worse.
    My little girl loved her baby swing and her baby walker.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    A stupidly large nappy bag with a million compartments (it was recommended by real nappy users) and a must have wet nappy bag which was useless.

    The best buy was the free bag from boots baby club and then to store wet cloth nappies I popped to the £1 shop and picked up a insulated lunch bag, you know the ones with the velcro at the top, just threw it in the wash every now and then, Rolled up when it was empty.
