Below are the items that I would NOT repurchase or recommend. Motherhood already has it's challenges, and needn't be complicated by silly inventions.
First off: A snowsuit with a "hole" for the car seat harness. This is quite possibly the most frustrating invention of all time. Unless you like screaming babies, finicky contraptions and sweating to death while bent over a car seat in your front hall - in which case, this product is for you !
Next: The "PlayGro Twirly Whirly" - Can't tell you how many times I ripped this thing off the car seat and threw it against the wall... the "dangly bits" hang down way to low and bonk the baby in the forehead. They also prevent you from seeing what you're doing when you're trying to get your baby fastened up safely and it prevents you from being able to comfortably carry the car seat + baby because the "twirly (?)" parts wrap around the handle preventing a good grip. Worst ever.
Sunscreen Spray. I bought this thinking I could apply sunscreen with 1 hand and hold the baby with the other. Nope. I think this is probably an okay item for older kids who can stand with their feet apart and arms out, but for babies, it's messy, greasy and impossible to apply. Especially outside when there is ANY kind of draft.
Lastly: Scratch mittens. Ugh. Just save yourself the aggravation and keep their nails trimmed :)
There you have it, my take on products that I found not so great, but that's not to say that they're not so great for everyone, they just didn't work for me! Does anybody have any items to contribute? :)
