Perhaps you've been there before. You're walking around the city and need to use a public restroom. Time is running our and you really, really need to go. It's not as simple as a quick pee-pee, those two burgers you had for lunch are dying to get out. Only problem is, what do you do with your baby? Bathroom is too small for the carriage and there is no other good solution. Answer? Hang the baby on the wall of the bathroom stall with the Babykeeper. This device is built of high quality material and has two strong hooks that will hang your baby on the wall while you're taking a dump.
"The BabykeeperTM is a patent pending infant carrier style seat, that hangs from the stall wall in most public restrooms, and can also be used in many public fitting rooms. "
Does anyone actually carry one of these things with them around town? I can appreciate the idea, which I think is very creative. If I was a baby I would probably have a blast using it. Can you imagine hanging on the wall looking at you parent? Perhaps have a little extra fun and throw the pacifier at your father while he's struggling to perform. Life doesn't get any better. But I'm not sure about using the
Babykeeper myself. If I have an emergency like this I'll personally find some other desperate solution. I won't give you any disgusting images but there are a couple of good alternatives on my mind. The last time I had to use the bathroom with Annika she was sleeping in the double stroller. I simply took the stroller in to the bathroom area and left her outside the stall while I did my thing. We were of course in Sweden where it's no problem doing this kind of innocent stuff:-))

Hmm, how would I have that thing with me when the need arises? I mean I have a handbag that is big enough to store a computer but I still would have never carried all this around just in case I might have to go to the toilet! Maybe if it were a normal carieer like the Björn and had these special hooks attatched, I could see that work.
I always had my sons on my lap. Us women don’t have a problem with pee/poop/ing while being watched, that is a male problem that I do not understand at all!
I have never thought about what I would do if that happened…you have officially stumped me. I guess I would sacrifice privacy and put the baby in a buggy or stoller and kinda prop the door open so he’s in front of me…then pray nobody walks in and sees me using #2 with the door open. I’m gonna have to think about this and figure out a better solution.
I am a representative for a child safety store, and I love the idea of this product. In this day and age, at least in the USA, you’d be a fool to just leave your child unattended, or hand them off to a stranger, and yes, it may be a male thing, but again moms have no trouble “going” in front of their children. Besides the need to keep them close, and away from harms way, I like this product because every mother who has brought a child into the stall with them knows that they are going to touch every thing and if they’re at a walking age will undoubtably start to sit on the floor, and peek under the stalls at your neighbors, and touch the floor or the stool and then immediately try to put their hands by their face or mouth. GROSS! The grems that hang out in public restrooms are scary to say the least. It may be a bit odd, but it is a wonderful, sanitary solution, for everyday problems. It easily converts to a standard hip side carrier, so it’s not a hassel to use. If you ask me its a smart, great product, and all parents know that once you have children you can never sit down ANYWHERE, with out hearing “MOOOOM”. So I don’t think warping the children is an issue. I love it, if the baby is on the wall, you have just reduced the chance for E-Coli on their hands or mouth. Think about it…
