Baby Gear - Take-Along Tether

5 stars! The best piece of baby gear you won't find in a store, the Take-Along Tether is something only a mother could invent.

The Baboo isn't old enough to really throw his stuffed monkeys and plastic car keys to the floor, but he does fumble now and then, and this fabric covered elastic invention keeps them from hitting the ground or getting lost in the car. It can accommodate all kinds of sizes and shapes, from a teething ring to a feeding spoon and so far the quality has held up great. I haven't come across anything yet that this thing can't hold on to. We have one attached to the Baboo's car seat and another to his stroller. When he drops his toy from his hand, it is such a relief not to have to find it on the car floor while he screams.

The Take-Along Tether is available at a few retailers in Florida, Georgia and California, but I suggest you buy online; the site is pay pal enabled. We met the inventor, Jennifer Spencer, at a baby fair in Grapevine, TX. She was nice as could be and is thrilled to have created a product that makes a mom's life easier. I could tell she was recommending it to us not to make a sale, but as a genuine one-parent-to-another recommendation. To put a spin on the old adage, this invention is a mother's necessity.
