But now……strangely tempting.

Have you ever seen one of these?

I was in a bookstore the other day and saw this. Basically, it’s like a high chair or a car seat for your toddler. It’s mounted on the wall near the floor in the bathroom, so you can restrain your small child while you tend to business. I had seen them “pre-Leah,” and always thought they were somewhat barbaric…as any of you who don’t have children probably do now. Now, though……it’s strangely tempting. No, I don’t actually see myself using one, because I think I would be wracked with guilt somehow when I looked up and saw Leah strapped to the wall (regardless of how close to the floor it was), but I can understand the concept. There are *lots* of things in a public restroom that would be irresistible to a toddler, and *none* of them are notoriously clean. I’m just sayin’. It’s not a bad idea. That’s all I’m sayin’.

lol! i know what you mean...seems like a nice theory but there's still just something gross about it.

I've seen this before and the only place that I know of in Augusta that has it is.... Family Christian.
Did I get it right?
The idea of it is kind of strange. Especially when they aren't common.

Never seen them before. But I tend to avoid public restrooms. I don't like the idea. But I can see where you would be tempted by it. In a pinch.

Dude, I would TOTALLY use that. I wouldn't feel badly at all!!!

Poop! I was sure I signed out but I'm still in her as my mother. This is BECCA.

A few weeks ago I went to church by myself b/c my husband was busy and she had a dirty diaper. I'd realized I needed to go myself, but had really been trying to hold it - b/c what do I do with her!? - but once in the bathroom I couldn't (she was bouncing on my bladder / abdomen in church!). So I half held her on my knee (she's not walking and would have been sitting on the bathroom floor otherwise) while squating over the seat and praying to keep it all together. I would have WELCOMED this!
