Down south, we don't normally have fancy wedding receptions. We just serve cake and punch and hors d'oeuvres (I had to look that one up, and spell check is still telling me it's wrong.) Anyway, what does all this have to do with In the Pocket Baby?

Well, we went up north (Wisconsin to be precise) this summer for a wedding, and they do things a little differently up there. Wedding receptions consist of a sit-down dinner served on fine china. Many times children are not even invited to weddings. Still want to know what all this has to do with In the Pocket Baby? Just wait, I'm getting to it.

Little Bear was asked to be the ring bearer in the aforementioned wedding, so of course he had no choice but to attend. He and the Ladybug were the only children at the reception. Thankfully, Little Bear's aunt took charge of feeding him. I was still left with the Ladybug, though, who could not sit up extremely well at the time. She's also terrible about grabbing things. How was I supposed to sit down and eat without Ladybug grabbing china off the table? The tables were so close together that there was no room to set her down on the floor.

In the Pocket Baby to the rescue! I pulled out this neatly folded contraption, unfolded it, and strapped it to the chair beside me. There! Ladybug had her own place to sit, and I could eat my meal without having to worry about keeping her from breaking anything. I did not know anyone at my table, but everyone immediately started talking about the baby seat and wanting to know where I got it, how it works, etc. Since I know you would have been asking the same questions if you had been there, I'll tell you a bit more about it.

What I like:

• It is very portable. It folds up very small so that I can keep it in the diaper bag (or in my pocket!)
  
• It comes with instructions printed right on the seat. I don't have to worry about remembering how to strap it on the chair correctly.
• It is sturdy. I'm not nervous that my heavy little girl will rip it and fall out of her chair.
• The front flap comes up nice and high so that there is no way Ladybug will be able to squirm out of it.
• The straps are easily adjustable so that it can be fastened tightly to any chair.

What I didn't like:

• It was a little more complicated to fold back up than it was to unfold! I couldn't get it folded up quite as small as it was when I first got it, but I still got it folded plenty small enough to fit it easily into the diaper bag.
  

Below is a video of ladybug playing peek-a-boo under the table while sitting in her baby seat. Even with all her wiggling, I was not concerned at all about her security.
