Unlike the First Year’s On-the-Go Self Inflating Baby Booster Seat, this Cool Kid seating aid is more like a seat harness rather than a booster seat per se,
Still, it does keep your little toddler in place on an adult chair in the event that you can’t find any dining place that offers the high-chair for little kids.
I first saw this on sale at a departmental store, and after figuring out what it was, I thought that this was actually quite a nifty little thing! It is compact and weights nothing – certainly a better alternative than that 1 gargantuan booster seat we have to carry around.
A few parents have already asked us about it when we whipped this up from our tote bag. When they saw how we used it, they liked the idea of it being compact and so easy to pack in, and so, I thought I’d share the tip here. And truthfully, after using it for a while now, I could not agree more. Just look at the size when it is all folded in…the length is just about the length of a pen.
This pack-in harness seat is certainly something very handy and useful to have — provided your little tot would not mind seating in it.
For Spud, it truly depends on her mood!

As far as I can remember, I have always been a big fan of Mr. Men and Little Miss since, but never actually owned any of those books.
Even after surpassing my 30s, I still find those characters hilarious. I don’t think I have ever disliked any of the characters from the books. My particular favourite is Miss Trouble.
So, when I saw a box of sturdy hard-pages, mini-books of the Mr. Men series, I decided there and then that Spud should be entitled to her own Mr. Men series.
I was not sure how Spud would take to it when I bought it (I could only find Mr. Men), thinking that it would mostly be of interest to slightly older kids, but when I introduced it to Spud, she quickly took to Mr. Bump and Mr. Tickle like a fly to a pile shit.
Which makes me completely happy, because those Mr. Men books are just brilliant little things.
Spud now even asks for it when she does not see those books during her meal-times! (We use books as distraction when we feed her, just so that she would eat and they are now looking worse for wear; with some bits of food left-behind in between the pages)
Next mission: Scouting for Little Miss series!

… the next big great pianist (!)
Ok. Not quite; even though it does look like she knows what she is doing. Well, she doesn’t.
The truth we know is that Spud was just mucking around with her Opa’s piano and I just happened to snap a few cool-looking shots as if to suggest that she is this one very young, talented piano player.
These made some brilliant pictures to spin a story, don’t you think?
But no, I don’t have any stories to spin, just that Spud really was just mucking around and I have no idea how she managed to look as if she was playing it like real!
Kids, these days…!
