Protect Your Baby from SIDS with an Egg

on October 29, 2008 at 10:14 AM

Meet the Grobag Egg. It can keep your baby safe while he sleeps, according to its Australian designers. Here's how: Research shows that crib death can result when your infant gets overheated, so this nifty little egg alerts you to temperatures in your baby's room.

Basically it's a digital thermometer that changes color based on the room's temperature. If the room is within recommended temperatures, the egg glows yellow; if the room drops below them, the egg turns blue; if the room gets too warm, the egg turns orange; and if it gets dangerously warm, the egg turns red. What a good egg!

Does anyone have a Grogbag Egg? Do you like it? If you don't have one, would you buy it?

I lost a baby boy to SIDS 5 years ago - anything that can help prevent it is a good idea!

What a neat idea! I guess I wouldn't really think about room temperature being a problem in out house, since his room would be the same as all of the others and our house is pretty well climate-controlled. Still, what will they think of next, huh?

I think that this is a GREAT idea! I would buy one for my son if it is at a pratical price! It would also be a great night-light for my son or future children!
