So small and lightweight - fits anywhere!
Wouldn’t you know it, on the way home after an exhausting weekend with grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousin playtime, Lil' Dude started ramping up his dissatisfaction at his position in the car. He started screaming requests for “CHOCOLATE”, which, in the late afternoon, I was not keen on giving him. So I rested The Baby Shusher at the top of his carseat (he is still rear-facing) while holding it. And…he stopped screaming. Then he requested to hold it. I let him hold it, and he played with it, adjusting the volume by twisting it. (Unless he threw it at a brick wall or something, there is little damage he would do to it - or it to him!) Not a peep. In just three minutes of use, he was calmed. He ceased his whining and screaming and was by comparison much happier for the rest of the trip!
I was a bit skeptical that it would work so well, but it did! As any parent knows, the quiet moments after intense screaming are the most delightful in the world. We will definitely take The Baby Shusher along on any trips! The gentle, repetitive “shhhhhh…..shhhhhh……shhhhhh…..” would be inoffensive, in my opinion, to any other travelers who happened to hear it (like on a plane or public transit). I initially got The Baby Shusher to attempt to get my son to sleep on his own (a younger sibling is due later this year!), but any usefulness after this travel benefit is just gravy! Here's to scream-free happy trips!
