    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

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

    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.
