Diaper Safety

Diaper Safety

Does anyone know where I could purchase refills for the Neat! Diaper Disposal System by Safety 1st?

HELP! I went to purchase these at my local Babies R Us store last week (as I have for the past 21/2 years). There were none, and the sales person said they are not being made or sold in the store anymore. I figured I'd be able to find them somewhere on-line, but I've had no luck. The Canadian Babies R Us site appears to have them, but they do not deliver to the US! I know I could just buy a new diaper disposal system like Diaper Genie or something, but since my daughter is so close to being potty trained, I really don't want to have to do that. Does anyone know something I don't? Where can I buy these? Or do any of you have some to sell? I'm on my last one, and getting desperate!

Hi, I did a search at toys r' us and they sell them on their website. Other than that, I would suggest one of their other models,many you can use regular trashbags with. So, nothing special and then you won't be out.

How many of you babysat in the 1970's and 1980's?

If you did, what do you remember most about those years as a babysitter? For me I remember the fact that 99% of all the babies I babysat wore regular old-fashioned cloth diapers with safety pins and rubber pants. Glass baby bottles were still popular and always used. Baby walkers with casters were still the in thing to put your crawling baby into, as were Jolly Jumpers. Spanking was still acceptable, and outdoor clotheslines with diapers drying on them was a common everyday sight.

I was born in 1980, I wore cloth diapers and my mom LOVED that jumper. She did breast feed but I'm sure when bottles came into play they were glass. I can even remember my aunt having glass bottles for her son when I was young. I got spanked. I grew up fine. I look forward to having an outdoor clothesline-with our without the diapers. I'll spank my kids, even if I have to do it under the cover of darkness, in the basement, 5 miles from any prying eyes.

We were also discussing the other day (since we were on the topic because I'm 15 weeks and shopping for strollers), carseats and how they weren't mandatory when I was born. I didn't have one until about 9 months. She just held me on her lap and my father drove. The seat my grandmother had for my uncle was a bucket with leg holes that hung on the back of the front seat (of course then seat belts werent' even mandatory in cars, so how else were you supposed to secure a baby seat in the car?). Ah, the days.

Yes, things change because we want convenience for ourselves and safety for our kids. But look how many hundreds of thousands of kids grew up just fine without our "modern conveniences"-refer to bucket carseat above. Parents don't carry their kids anymore, they lug around a carseat. My mom carried me everywhere until I was big enough to walk, and then I walked-oh the tragedy. And yes, they did sell seats and strollers back then. Most of these things were created and designed for the sole purpose of making children less of a burden to their parents. As for safety, if a 3 year old sits his little ass down in the car and puts on his seatbelt, he's no less safe than if he were strapped into a carseat the size of a Volvo.
