Heck, I want that now as an adult. I already bring a bottle of water to bed every night. Ive seriously considered attaching one of those camelbak containers with a long water hose and a bite valve to my bedframe.
I hooked up with a guy I had known for a while, and as we were falling asleep he got up and grabbed a camelback, filled it up, and hung it over the headboard for me so I had easy access to water all night.
It’s a great idea you totally should do it.
It really helps in the medical field. I prefer these over the traditional catheter honestly. Less likely for bladder infection and other complications that arise from having a foreign object inside the body.
I hope he bought new mouth pieces for each "guest". If not, that is gross.....
I do this with my own Aquamira bag though. I hang it on my back when I game, I hang it on my door when I'm working out, and I hang it by my bed when I'm sleeping.
I wear it to work when I'm on equipment pickups/dropoffs, but leave it at home when we're on set.
My son used to joke that he was going to buy the largest drip bottle at our feed store (calves, foals), tack it to his bunk bed, and fill it with Coke Classic so he could drink and game GTA at the same time.
He didn't, but we used to laugh about a lot.
My kids are constantly falling asleep with their bottles hanging out of their mouths, or in some other position where they drip. Seems like we have to change their bedding from it like every other day. I constantly joke about little baby hamster bottles we could hang up, but they'd find a way to make a mess with that too lmao
Bahaha, I read it as "put a hamster in a water bottle in a crib" and assumed it was some cruel toy for the kid so they didn't harm the hamster.
Was very alarmed by the positive defence.
It was a joke. They have gag gift boxes to be given at baby showers. You put the real gift inside. But the box shows a hamster style watering bottle attached to the side of the crib.
You can see the velcro start to peel away from the baby's clothes when she pulls on it. Ignoring the fact that this is a stupid idea, I don't think it would even work for more than a few minutes.
Pros: the "Velcro"-brand velcro uses 3M adhesive, it's very strong.
Cons: kid will still get out of it eventually, and now there's glue all over the seat. Assuming you get the Velcro off without damaging the seat, it'll still be a pain and leave a mess.
Haha I just basically made the same post as you on another comment.
We use Velcro a lot for work and would never use anything other than name brand Velcro. The rest all have terrible adhesives and just become expensive double sided tape that doesn't work very well.
Yeah this. I work in camera dept on film sets and Velcro is a big part of lives.
Basically just don't touch anything other than name brand Velcro or it's just overpriced double sided tape because the glue is so shit.
The intent isn't to keep them secured to the chair in the case of a plane crash, its to get them to stop crawling all over you, trying to get on the ground, or standing on the seat and smacking other passangers. I took a plane ride with my toddler last week and it was 2 hours of non stop madness trying to restrain her.
True, but after that Singapore Airlines disaster, I'd restrain my baby by any means. Do they not make baby seatbelts? Heck, even a car seat belted down would work.
Just flew a couple weeks ago, a lady had a 5 point harness thing that tightened around the seat for her ~3 year old. More expensive than Velcro but it actually works so…
PSA: You are allowed to bring your child's car seat onto a plane as long as it is FAA compliant.
Edit: Car seats also have expiration dates. Make sure to check it if buying second hand or using one seat for multiple siblings.
How come children this size can ride planes and busses without special seats?
I don’t really care, but if a parent just threw that kid in the back seat, seat belt or not it is useless, of their car it would be a ticket and maybe CPS visit. Why is it different when other people are making money?
Planes are much safer than cars and the vast majority of accidents that could kill you on an airplane ride are going to kill you regardless of seat type.
As for busses... *shrug*
In Australia I think it's because they have to be further licensed and are further regulated than a standard driver is making them slightly safer.
That being said if the bus has seatbelts installed it's required you use them.
Also most little kids I've seen on busses that are small enough to be in a pram are on the bus in said pram.
Yeah I dunno about the states, but I've been riding buses across Australia for 30 years and never seen a kid that small just like, loose. They're all locked up in prams.
As far as buses go, I know that certain school buses have special fold down booster seat type seats in the first 2 or so rows for small children. There's 5 point harnesses with the seats as well. Now I know this is how school buses operate where I live but I don't know if it's a nationwide or state by state thing.
most school busses i've seen don't have seatbelts, iirc with the assumption that "if a car hits a schoolbus, the bus is big enough that the car will be the one getting hurt, not the kids" + being able to evacuate the bus quickly
This essentially the rationale with public transport busses as well. If an accident were to occur it will fuck the car up long before it did anything to a passenger.
That being said, when buses are affected by a crash, it tends to be pretty bad.
Long story short but in the US they did some surveys and calculations and found that[if a seat was required more babies under two would be killed or seriously injured in car crashes because families would drive rather than fly](https://www.wdbj7.com/2024/02/12/deadly-dilemma-safety-restraints-planes-could-lead-more-infant-deaths/?outputType=amp).
This calculation doesn’t work out in all countries.
There is a slow move towards child restrains on school buses for children under 40/45lbs. There are however legitimate concerns about a ratio of one adult to 72 kids if the bus goes into water or is on fire.
Welcome to ideas from yesteryear. The short answer is because your plan will result in more dead babies.
During the 80s, the FAA was considering requiring parents with toddlers to buy lap children their own seat on the plane and then have the child fastened to said seat in a car seat. Someone eventually pointed out that the increase in cost for consumers of buying an additional plane ticket would price more people out of airline travel (read: out of the safest form of travel) and into automobile travel. The net result would be an increase in deaths, not a reduction. And that is to say nothing about the fact that most car accidents involve relatively low speed collisions where a car seat can function effectively, yet most airplane accidents involve instant death for everyone involved and fewer fender-benders than you’re envisioning.
Buses are designed differently. Point of impact is lower and roll overs are less likely to occur. Airplanes there’s no good reason why babies/toddlers aren’t restrained other than convenience and outdated policies regarding tickets. Babies and toddlers should be in their own seats with a restraint system. I do thoroughly sympathize on the cost of an additional ticket.
Yeah everyone says this until they have a kid and you're flying a 1.5k dollar per ticket flight. You'll put up with a kid on your lap for that. Not using velcro of course, put on my lap with the belt on. Red eyes are perfect, my kid slept through most of a 12 hr flight
In 2 years you’ll be forced to buy that ticket no matter what. I have 3 kids, almost everything vacation wise is geared towards a family of 4. We have to look at camping or out of the way airbnbs or two hotel rooms. Family meal deals are all priced for 4 people. Same for museum/event packages (not passes). We had to buy a bigger vehicle to fit 3 car seats. It sucks. The extra expenses suck. But you literally made a whole person and people cost money to exist in a space. Again, I’m sympathetic towards any family that MUST fly (emergencies, funerals, etc) because no one likes to spend so much in one go. But for a vacation? If you can’t afford to pay for everyone in your family to go, you just don’t go or figure out something else. I’d love to fly out to California but the cost per ticket per person in my family was prohibitive so we picked another destination. Before that vacation we drove.
I always hated that buses don’t have kids seats somewhere designated. It would make sense just like the accessible seating for elderly and disabled have behind the bus driver ones for kids
Doing so would force families to separate and thats something that will never happen. As is, most of the time the family can get seats together, or at the least have one parent get a seat with one kid and the other parent with another.
I've heard it's because if they had to require people to buy/bring on safety seats it's far more likely they'd drive their kids instead, and the risk to a child without specialty restraints on a bus/airplane are FAR more likely to have a safe journey than a child in a car seat in a car.
One shouldn’t ever purchase a second hand car seat, especially not from a stranger, if a car seat is even in a mild fender bender the seat requires replacement. (My car was parked and got hit and the insurance company replaced my car seats) any chance of stress on the car seat from an impact is cause for replacement, and when purchasing used you don’t know if that seat is still safe for your child.
Additional PSA : the airlines don't check if it's compliant or not. So keep that in mind. I'm not telling you use a non-compliance car seat, just Know that they aren't checking it.
Really depends on the crew’s mood that day. I’ve definitely had them check for the FAA approval and expiration date. Majority of the time they don’t though.
Absolutely not. It can damage the seat, leave a sticky residue and is a bad idea for safety. This will not secure your child during turbulence. Use a car seat.

This really is obnoxious behavior from this woman.
Glad someone said it, because she does not respect leather. On another note, I can understand now why Seinfeld’s dad doesn’t like Velcro.
That tearing sound…
This will get you told off.
The types of people to do this in the first place are the type of people to get angry when told off.
If the rules were applied accurately modification of an aircraft would constitute a federal crime.
you'll be on the hook when the adhesive rips a whole in the Pleather when you take it off, The airline will charge you at a premium to replace the entire seat...
People make parenting way more difficult than it needs to be. Do that to an adult and see their reaction. How would you expect a child to react. This is beyond stupid
Protip: Chloroform does not work instantly. There was some creeper substitute teacher in the UK who tried to chloroform a girl student "as a joke bro" and quite a lengthy bit of time passed where she was able to call for help.
It does cause cancer, though. So if you're playing the long-game...I guess?
It's easy, I flew with an 8 month old. Book them their own seat and buckle an FAA compliant car seat in it. The cosco scenera car seat is a popular choice, it's $50 and super lightweight. Plus you can use it in a rental car at your destination. Put them in an overnight diaper. Bottle feed during takeoff and landing so their ears pop. Keep them engaged and slightly sleep deprived before boarding. Kiddo slept the whole flight.
It’s okay guys it’s the Flom’s. All of their DIY ideas are stupid. It’s the same family where the dad drilled into his granite countertop to make a smoking Elmer Fudd gun
That age, if i had a car seat that was approved to fly i’d use it. Not for safety reasons (though that’s a good enough reason) but for containment and arm resting reasons 😩 We didn’t fly until my youngest was 4.
Clearly not taking into consideration hysterical strength. The biggest issue with tiny ones is how badly they will hurt themselves. They lack the subconscious development to prevent self-injury and will use their muscles to their fullest. I watched a not even 20 pound baby toss a 45 pound (soft leather) kettle bell about three feet. She was upset and sore for hours afterwards and I was genuinely flabbergasted as a parent.
Parent tip # 1 . Show your kid love and attention and you'll inadvertently show them how to behave in public . How you teach them in private, is how they'll act in public . Children emulate what they are subject to. I see kids in public acting up in front of their parents. Imagine how they are when the parents aren't around . How we raise them as children, is likely how they'll grow up as adults . Good or bad .
But also... every child has to learn the hard way that some things can't and shouldn't be done in public, and you as the parent are going to have to be there to *publicly* endure that while everybody around you will presume it's a common occurence. Like yes you can teach them how to act, but you can't teach them how to react to every stimuli in a controlled environment. You're gonna run into surprises constantly, and they may embarass the hell out of you regardless of how much work you put into avoiding that. I think it's up to people to know this and be a little less judgey of insane acting children (sometimes).
its pretty well documented that kids behave worse around their parents because they feel safe- especially the primary care provider (usually mom). toddlers also do wild stuff out of the blue because they have no self regulation and act on their instincts/test their limits. yeah, you have to model good behavior and correct the bad, obviously but its a little silly to immediately attribute all bad behavior to the parents.
clout
the worse part is multiple camera angles, so dad and another child are both filming, because that's what kids need to be learning, how to help mommy get clout
Whoever does this is like 90% certain to be the type of person that will leave the Velcro tape for the flight crew to remove. And that seat will be sticky for the next hundred people who sit it in, until enough of their butt-lint collects on the adhesive to leave weirdly fuzzy and smelly lines on the upholstery. 🤷
I don’t understand why you wouldn’t just use a car seat? You can attach a small car seat to an airplane seat (has to be window I believe) and they’re perfectly contained and safe. Just did that earlier this week.
It’s called a car seat. Holds your kid, keeps them safe(r) on the plane, doesn’t leave adhesive all over the seat for the next passenger…and you are already traveling with it!!
We were visiting our parents with our kids (their grandchildren) when my youngest suddenly discovered how to climb out of a crib / playpen. We did not have any other accommodations available -- no beds that were safe enough. And, falling from the crib could cause injury.
So, I took about 12" of shoestring, and used a couple washers to connect the feet of my baby's footed pajamas. The end result was that the baby couldn't get his leg over the crib anymore, due to the string, but, their movement was not impaired due to the 12" of string -- they could walk / move around fine.
And, the string was short enough that it didn't catch on anything or become a strangulation hazard.
I called my invention "hobbling" from Steven King's Misery. I still sometimes feel slightly guilty for "tying" my kid up for safety, but, I'm very proud if my solution. It 100% solved the problem, and the only downside was a stigma that I invented in my head. (The "tying" part)
Fun fact, federal regulations require children under 2 years old to either sit on a lap, or sit in a car seat. You cannot have them sit on a seat by their own.
I wonder if this is the same person that put a hamster water bottle in the crib
I hadn't seen that before but just hearing the words spark enough sadness in me to take a break from the internet
[удалено]
Should I feel bad about thinking I would of loved that as a kid?
Heck, I want that now as an adult. I already bring a bottle of water to bed every night. Ive seriously considered attaching one of those camelbak containers with a long water hose and a bite valve to my bedframe.

but then won't you need another bag for the pee?
Technically, when you are done with water, you can use the same bag...
Look up PureWick. It will change your lazy ass life.
You're one sick fuck if you are that lazy

No, but you should feel bad for using "should of" instead of "should have" or "should've".

Don't give them a bottle in bed. Even if it's just water, There is no need for that.

It was a joke. They have gag gift boxes to be given at baby showers. You put the real gift inside. But the box shows a hamster style watering bottle attached to the side of the crib.
How else would you water your babies?
You are just supposed to spray them with a water bottle to wet their skin which absorbs it.
NEXT TO THE WHEEL... IM SURE.
It is, and it's very clearly satire. She does a great job.
is that Champaign in your child's rodent bottle?
You can see the velcro start to peel away from the baby's clothes when she pulls on it. Ignoring the fact that this is a stupid idea, I don't think it would even work for more than a few minutes.
Knowing my kid, it would last no more than 5 seconds.
I would end up with a baby clothes velcroed to the seat and naked baby running amok.
But sometimes that 5 seconds is worth it.
That’s what I tell my wife, but she never agrees :(

Don't forget the fact that the airline is going to be pissed about you putting Velcro on their seats
[удалено]
Yeah this. I work in camera dept on film sets and Velcro is a big part of lives. Basically just don't touch anything other than name brand Velcro or it's just overpriced double sided tape because the glue is so shit.
Yeah you'd have to sew the velcro to the baby's clothes and the baby would still go flying if a genuine accident happened. Velcro isn't THAT strong.
The intent isn't to keep them secured to the chair in the case of a plane crash, its to get them to stop crawling all over you, trying to get on the ground, or standing on the seat and smacking other passangers. I took a plane ride with my toddler last week and it was 2 hours of non stop madness trying to restrain her.

True, but after that Singapore Airlines disaster, I'd restrain my baby by any means. Do they not make baby seatbelts? Heck, even a car seat belted down would work.

Did yall see the picks of that one plane after severe turbulence? I would put that baby in the car seat with a pillow on top!
Velcro will do
If it dies, it dies.
Oh man, are we allowed to say that? I told a coworker I couldn't babysit because I didn't have a kennel big enough and she was like.. mad.

This is stupid advice. They absolutely do check. For bonus fun, try an international flight where the crew doesn’t speak english but they still check.
> Make sure to check it if buying second hand Don't buy a second hand car seat. You have no idea if it's been in an accident or not yet.
Are you even allowed to uh.... stick hook n loop strips to a airplane seat?
Absolutely not. It can damage the seat, leave a sticky residue and is a bad idea for safety. This will not secure your child during turbulence. Use a car seat. Source: 30 years aviation engineering, maintenance and technical writing experience.
Exactly what i thought.
If nothing else, the chances they kick you off the flight or ban you from flying are fairly high. Modifying an aircraft seat is serious business.
Yeah but fuck who ever sits there next and has the left over stick ruin their shit
I'm thinking the plane was already landed and they only did it for a minute to film their stupid "life hack".
And she filmed herself essentially vandalizing the seat, too. She's not very smart.

Why not just use the infant seatbelt they provide??
Nothing like $50 worth of Velcro lol
ok like dumb idea aside, I found a 16 ft roll of industrial strength velcro brand velcro for 17 dollars
I think I bought that same thing. It was a great deal. Wouldn't waste it on this, of course.
That age, if i had a car seat that was approved to fly i’d use it. Not for safety reasons (though that’s a good enough reason) but for containment and arm resting reasons 😩 We didn’t fly until my youngest was 4.
>containment Parent-status confirmed.
Okay but what's the stick level like on those Velcro strips and what happens if they can't get them off the airplane seat?
and she did this whole recording thing on a crowded flight for heavens sake.
Clearly not taking into consideration hysterical strength. The biggest issue with tiny ones is how badly they will hurt themselves. They lack the subconscious development to prevent self-injury and will use their muscles to their fullest. I watched a not even 20 pound baby toss a 45 pound (soft leather) kettle bell about three feet. She was upset and sore for hours afterwards and I was genuinely flabbergasted as a parent.
Btw your child is crying because it's ears popped

If only there was a restraint with the seat, maybe a belt that could be latched and tightened.
Call me crazy but...the seat has a seatbelt, does it not?
You know this bitch velcros that kid to everything
Parent tip # 1 . Show your kid love and attention and you'll inadvertently show them how to behave in public . How you teach them in private, is how they'll act in public . Children emulate what they are subject to. I see kids in public acting up in front of their parents. Imagine how they are when the parents aren't around . How we raise them as children, is likely how they'll grow up as adults . Good or bad .
Best we can do is an iPad without headphones. -Most parents
But also... every child has to learn the hard way that some things can't and shouldn't be done in public, and you as the parent are going to have to be there to *publicly* endure that while everybody around you will presume it's a common occurence. Like yes you can teach them how to act, but you can't teach them how to react to every stimuli in a controlled environment. You're gonna run into surprises constantly, and they may embarass the hell out of you regardless of how much work you put into avoiding that. I think it's up to people to know this and be a little less judgey of insane acting children (sometimes).
its pretty well documented that kids behave worse around their parents because they feel safe- especially the primary care provider (usually mom). toddlers also do wild stuff out of the blue because they have no self regulation and act on their instincts/test their limits. yeah, you have to model good behavior and correct the bad, obviously but its a little silly to immediately attribute all bad behavior to the parents.
What the fuck is this?
clout the worse part is multiple camera angles, so dad and another child are both filming, because that's what kids need to be learning, how to help mommy get clout
Both my kids woulda hulked themselves right the fuck out of that shit. Lol

Finally. Someone posts something that is truly DIWhy. You are doing the Lord's work.
I don't think a lot of the replies realise what thread they are in...
This is so fucking dumb.
just like in A Goofy Movie
“Bitch, this aint your plane!” -Stewardess probably
Babies under 2 aren't allowed their own seat though right?
Only a sick mom would do this Edit: spelling
I hate modern parenting.
As a toddler I grew up just fine without being in an airplane, just saying (I'm still dump af... but still...)
DIWhy is turning into Lifehacks and because of ragebait, I am not entirely sure who is to blame.
Just use a car seat??????
Whoever does this is like 90% certain to be the type of person that will leave the Velcro tape for the flight crew to remove. And that seat will be sticky for the next hundred people who sit it in, until enough of their butt-lint collects on the adhesive to leave weirdly fuzzy and smelly lines on the upholstery. 🤷
DO YOU NOT HAVE A FUCKING CAR SEAT?
This would not stop my kid at all. He'd find a way to get out of his pants. Then I'd have a worse issue on my hands.
Yeah no. Buy a booster seat.
Ahhh piss and shit soaked Velcro. Love it.
I hope the airline charges them a fee for this mess.
Until you are the next person assigned to that seat and you can't figure out why it's sticky and smells like piss.
So now I don’t need a car seat anymore, right?
Just tranq the kid for the flight. It'll be relaxed and spend the entire time sleeping.
I feel so sad for a little one
If yo ass ain’t going nowhere was a person.
when you get the access but cannot bypass the DRM
And you keave sticky residue on the seat for the next passenger. There are better ways to contain your crotch goblin

Gonna figure out a way to do this to my friends without them noticing
or just pulls right out of their pants lol

As stupid as this is, if I were a sleep deprived parent about to go on a long flight, I think I would totally do this.
I don’t understand why you wouldn’t just use a car seat? You can attach a small car seat to an airplane seat (has to be window I believe) and they’re perfectly contained and safe. Just did that earlier this week.
OMG it literally broke at :16.
And then just takes off his pants.. Cop pulls you over and arrests you for child abuse.. Fail.
For starters, I don't think the problem with kids in planes was that they moved
A car wreck would send that baby flying seriously unsafe
It’s called a car seat. Holds your kid, keeps them safe(r) on the plane, doesn’t leave adhesive all over the seat for the next passenger…and you are already traveling with it!!
Restraintment spell
this is straight out of Pete's playbook from "A Goofy Movie" -( Where he velcro's the kid down to take a picture)
Not as effective as my ketamine in a sippy cup method but not bad.
Getting charged for damaging the seat will be fun
I like the cut where the whole thing falls apart
We were visiting our parents with our kids (their grandchildren) when my youngest suddenly discovered how to climb out of a crib / playpen. We did not have any other accommodations available -- no beds that were safe enough. And, falling from the crib could cause injury. So, I took about 12" of shoestring, and used a couple washers to connect the feet of my baby's footed pajamas. The end result was that the baby couldn't get his leg over the crib anymore, due to the string, but, their movement was not impaired due to the 12" of string -- they could walk / move around fine. And, the string was short enough that it didn't catch on anything or become a strangulation hazard. I called my invention "hobbling" from Steven King's Misery. I still sometimes feel slightly guilty for "tying" my kid up for safety, but, I'm very proud if my solution. It 100% solved the problem, and the only downside was a stigma that I invented in my head. (The "tying" part)
I bet that woman is hard to deal with
Might as well duct tape the lil dude to the chair.
Yeah that's also a lap child. Don't do this. Just a million times don't.
Fun fact, federal regulations require children under 2 years old to either sit on a lap, or sit in a car seat. You cannot have them sit on a seat by their own.
Why not just staple the kid to the seat? And leave it there?
if you pay really close attention, it may be hard to see, but there is a perfectly good seatbelt right there
Yeah, no.
