    Terrible parenting. If you’re going to go to the trouble of yeeting your baby at least do it properly with a baby trebuchet.

    Missing rung on lower end causes baby to slip out prior to launch half the time. Launch distance is subpar compared to other yeet machines.

    I know it was made for Victorian babies but mine is Edwardian. One out of five stars, would not recommend.

    This is just an old-school rocker / bouncer, no? It looks like it’s meant to “float” the child like a one-sided sea-saw?

    I guess if you pulled it all the way down and released, it could slightly yeet the child, but there are absolutely better contraptions if going for distance

    Woudn’t having a spring under it be more efficient than a weird bent strap? I can’t imagine it would launch the baby too far.

    Throws out all of the baby, and none of the bathwater. Saves hundreds on water bills!
