    I think you were reaching a bit with the LOTR reference.

    Alternatively, they could just show the infant the latest episode of 24 I'm watching right now. That'd put it to sleep. This season sucks.

    I dont think that this was designed so parents could go out drinking (though it makes for a funnier read). I think its designed to lull baby back to sleep, Most babies wake up for a reason; they need fed, changed, etc., so they arent going back to sleep for long unless you satisfy whatever their need is.


    I prefer the old fashioned/low tech rocking chair for lulling, and I spent some treasured times there, even at 2 a.m.

    "sway[s] side to side every 1.8 seconds, or about as fast as a parent's heartbeat."

    Really? That would be a heart rate of 33 beats per minute, which I think would only be achieved by parents who were competitive apnea divers.


    This seems to me something that's fairly easy to build, and hardly worth $100/mo.

    The Skinner Baby Tender/Air Crib



    In an effort to help his wife cope with the day to day tasks of child rearing, Skinner - a consummate inventor - thought he might be able to improve upon the standard crib. He invented the 'air-crib' to meet this challenge. An 'air-crib' [15] [16](also known as a 'baby tender' or humorously as an 'heir conditioner') is an easily-cleaned, temperature and humidity-controlled box Skinner designed to assist in the raising of babies.

    @SonicFury: He did design a box for babies to be raised in, but due to the press, it never caught on.

    Damn robots. If they want to start taking over the world, they should go after world leaders! Not babies!

    @chasema: No, it's brilliant. The next generation, having been raised by machines, will grow up to be loyal to robots instead of their biological parents. It will expedite the rise of our future machine rulers.

    If you have to use the "safety net" on the end. I'm going to say that its not very safe.
