Holy shit, how the hell did this ever become a product?! Absolute insanity.

Any parent probably invented the equivalent of one within the first six months of their kid being born - but I guess this is one of those things that are bloody obvious and desired, but not supposed to ever become products, like pacifiers on an elastic band.
Em, no. Never had anything like this, don't know any other parents who did either.

What?! No! (and yes, I'm a parent)

I don't detect any sarcasm in your post, but this is such an obviously dangerous idea that surely you can't possibly be serious?

I wasn't clear enough: I meant invented only, conceptually, not actually deployed.

My wife and I joked many times this should be a thing, but we would never have actually bought one, because it's clearly insane.
