BabyDeck™ Stroller’s Bed Time Story




Hmm!! So I finally have a voice. Bingo! Here I am, strolling by your baby’s cot, putting her to sleep with the little-told story of my birth. Now let me try to recall where it all started. I see many beautiful couples, strolling with their kids in parks, smiling and happy. And then something happens, making the parents rush to the nearest public restroom. The baby’s irritated expression tells me it is time to change diapers. But why do the moms and dads look annoyed?

It urns out that the public restroom they use is dirty, not facilitated with diaper-changing equipment, and studded with bacteria and viruses that are congratulating themselves on finding another little target for causing disease. I can see that the same couple of smiling parents is now sick of the leisure time they had awaited for the whole week. But I am not born yet, so I can’t help them. I wish I could.

One day, this wonderful couple of Jane and Ken are out with Ethan, their cute little, 3-months old, baby boy. They are enjoying their time with some other members of their family in a San Antonio theme park in Texas. All is well until the same nature’s call dawns on little Ethan and poor mom Jane rushes her to the nearest public restroom. By the way, it is not so near and the sizzling summer makes Jane’s search pretty bothersome.

Finally, mommy Jane finds a restroom and goes in to give Ethan a diaper change. And look what she finds in there: a crowd of people waiting their turn for using the unclean restroom. She is nauseated to see that the table used for diaper-changing is sooooooooooo dirty!!!! But she has to use it anyway or else Ethan will start crying due to the burning sensation on his bottom and might fall ill. Jane wonders if changing Ethan’s diapers on such a dirty table will leave Ethan safe from the monstrous germs that are invisibly lurking there. At length, she finishes her duty and exits the restroom, almost pulling out her hair.

Some time later, I see the couple again. Ken has sold the family car to buy a SUV with plenty of room at the back for changing Ethan’s diapers. But Jane’s suffering is not over yet. The SUV can’t go inside the mall or run on narrow paths and lanes. She still has to rush Ethan back to the vehicle to clean the baby boy and tie a neat diaper around him every two hours or so. The couple is frustrated like every other couple who travel out with their very young kids.

Suddenly, Jane and Ken decide to use their brains and get rid of the difficult diaper-changing problem in public places. They think, think, and think….and Eureka!!!!! The solution is so simple that they laugh at themselves and other parents for not arriving at it sooner. If the baby stroller, that parents use to carry their child, could be equipped with a platform that can folded into the seat and folded out for changing the baby’s diaper, there wouldn’t be the headache of worrying about finding a health-friendly restroom with diaper-changing facility. Babies would be lying in their cozy pram while their diapers are changed anytime and anywhere out in the public.

Ken and Jane shared their idea with other people who are good at converting ideas into real products. Soon after this, I was born with a foldable diaper-changing table made as part of the stroller’s seat. I am not just an odd-looking carrier; instead, I am as quaint and pretty as any modern baby stroller. Look at me baby and tell me….oh! There you go slumbering again without hearing the last word. No problem. Just go to your baby computer and click on http://www.mybabydeck.com/ to see how sophisticated I look. You won’t keep from thinking why I should not go for the Mr. Stroller 2008 contest. Oh Well, good night!
