Yes, but I can't help but notice you said we. We means help. When I'd travel with my son (once a month since he was 3 months old) alone from LA to NY I'd practically dehydrate myself because I didn't want to have to go into that germ infested lav with him, and when I did...what I had to do.... UGH. Seriously, the bab y hanger looks fantastic for a mom like me who has to travel alone. ALL THE TIME. It's not easy. And I'll be doing it again next week. Thank goodness my son is now two. Makes it easier. Now all I have to do is say "Don't touch that!" over and over and over

I see your point, as traveling alone with a young baby is harder, but I guess I just have a different idea than most and prefer things the old fashion way. I was alone most of my daughters first year and had no problems with out this or other contraptions. Never used a baby bath, crib, pram, stroller, or diaper changer etc, so sure did not need this.

I did use a sling a lot which allows one to have hands free for every need & even allows one to nurse a child while standing in line for groceries at the store with no one the wiser. ( I did that a lot).

Why not just wear a sling with your baby? Keeps hands free everywhere including bathrooms. I used mine constantly when out and about, took up no room, was washable and organic. Baby loved it and I loved it.I never worried about getting dehydrated, nor tried to postpone going to the bathroom.

If one breast feeds and does family bed, that is all one needs IMHO. A sling ( possibly a Bundler too).

The rest is just endless marketing to try to make people think they need "stuff" that they don't. I prefer to think simple like native people and invest my money (saved from buying such things).

I think babies are much more simple than the marketing world makes them out to be. My mom raised 4 in the fifties with none of the crapola we have today. ;)

I want more experiences and less stuff. But, hey, if it works for you or others, that is cool with me too!!
