    Color me cynical, but I can't help but wonder if that whole NASA-certified chair thing is marketing jibber-jabber.


    NASA only certifies chairs for inclusion in missions. Aside from the occasional NASA asset used during the filming of The Jetsons, I'm not sure which NASA spacecraft included 1950's style Eames chairs in the cockpit or lounge area.

    How about just holding em in your arms, that way maybe they won't grow up to, hate you/be miserable.

    @MadCrazy: Because according to the LAW here, any child under 50 pounds has to be restrained in a special car seat for their safety. If you hold a child and are in a forward impact crash your weight crushes the child. THATS why. Tard.

    @MadCrazy: You questioned "How about holding em in your arms...?" Curves responded "why" you shouldn't, which is how the normal question/answer routine goes.

    But she did leave out one fact. In a crash, the child's weight multiplies, so instead of a 25 lb infant, you are holding a 150lb infant who will hit the dashboard or seat in front of you within 1/10 of a second, so if you AREN'T bear hugging them at all times, you will have NO reaction time to try and hold onto them. Also, if your car has airbags, you have now smashed the child in between you and a explosively fired bag which can launch a 50 gallon drum in the air.


    But you are correct. If you hold your child, they won't get a chance TO grow up, so they can never be miserable or hate you.

    I hope there's no ejection mechanism to accidentally go off, causing your child to bang its head on the roof of your minivan.

    The best baby seats (for infants under 30#) are the kind that the carrier part snaps in and out of the base unit which remains attached in the car. The kid is asleep and would have to be taken out of car seat and moved to carrier anyway so its a lot less hassle. And yes, no matter what kind it is, the kid will just yack up formula all over it (and everything else) anyway.

    Ok, that is kind of awesome looking, but not 4000 dollars and a kid awesome looking. That 4000 bucks would be better spent in a CD or something to help pay for the near-infinite college tuitions of the future.

    @Onion_Knight:
    Since when did the Playstation controller become a "real" controller? Maybe we'll get lucky and Saitek will have a go at it. You know, make some controllers fit for man-sized hands. No Wii Classic pad-style controllers, no undersized 360 controllers, and for damn sure nothing that causes the Playstation Claw.

    @Onion_Knight:
    I'm actually a fan of the Thrustmaster joystick, which was based on the design of the F4 Phantom control stick. You know, something that was designed with the understanding that peoples' lives depended on it being the poster child for ergonomics. But Saitek's PC game controller works in a pinch.


    It is a kinda wierd thing, though, since I'm perfectly comforable using a mouse-sized mouse pinched between my thumb and ring finger, while most full-sized mice feel awkward to my apparently long fingers (if a regular mouse doesn't have a pronounced hump to it, and the buttons depress with a light touch, I tend to get a ton of accidental button-pushes). I did better with the original DS Phat, up until they came out with the Nerf Armor for the DS Lite (now my Phat barely sees any use).
