Parent Hacks Store Featured Find: Yellow pages-shaped booster seat! Hilarious!
Rael and I found ourselves with three kid-free hours at Powell's City of Books over the weekend. Pure heaven. Besides all the lovely reading I got done, I stumbled onto this clever phonebook-shaped booster seat in the kid section. It's soft foam, butt-shaped, and worth a serious guffaw!
Doubly funny because the actual phonebook is all but obsolete in our house except for the occasional leaf-pressing (thanks, Google). I enjoyed the little nostalgic hit...reminded me of Thanksgivings spent at my Nana's table. I was always the smallest and so had the place of honor on top of the phonebook for years.
The maker, Fred & Friends, also came up with the kid-friendly chopsticks hinges we mentioned a while back. See worldwidefred.com for a full listing of their lighthearted products.
(or any Amazon link at Parent Hacks), you throw some change into our tip jar without any extra steps or cost to you. Thank you!
That's about the cutest thing i've seen all day!

This booster seat looks well-suited to the lighthearted atmosphere of my parents' house. My mother is going to laugh when she opens the box it'll arrive in; I'm going to be chuckling for the rest of the day thinking about it. Thanks!

Very clever! And thank you **SO** much for not once using the much-overused "whimsical" to describe it!

What? You gotta problem with "whimsical"? I did use "hilarious" twice in two days, though. You gonna hold that against me now? Huh? Huh?

We like these forkchops, http://www.forkchops.com/products.html. When they get tired of trying to use the sticks they can turn them around and use the spoon-shaped fork. The knife is not sharp, so they're still farily kid-friendly.
