1. iPotty: designed to entertain toddlers during toilet training

[shahrukh]

Perhaps a tablet will convince your fidgety tot to sit on the potty longer. A new product for parents of children being potty trained features a mini toilet and an adjustable iPad docking station: the iPotty. Debuted at the 2013 International CES, the colorful plastic training toilet raised questions about whether or not it would actually assist parents with the task of potty training their little ones.
 
At $40, the iPotty doesn't come with any specific apps, but parents can use apps made for toddlers to encourage them to sit on the potty for a while.
 
2. Kickbee: designed for twitting from the womb

Ok, definitely file this one under "sign of the times." It turns out that unborn children can now have their own Twitter account...well, practically. The Kickbee is a band of material which the expectant mother can slip on. It contains sensors that will send a tweet when the baby kicks - only to close friends and family, one hopes, rather than to the entire world, who might get bored of this even quicker than we tired of Foursquare tweets. It's a cute idea, but not exactly high on the list of essential items.
 
3. Shape of an Angel: a custom replica of your fetus

This isn't an ice cube, it's a 3D replica of a fetus. Created by Japanese engineering company Fasotec, the tiny baby cube thing called “Shape of an Angel” is a custom replica of a fetus. Expectant mothers can send an MRI image of their baby to a 3D printer to create the replica. Each printout comes in a delicate jewelry box and measures about 3.5 inches tall. Unfortunately (or fortunately?), you won't see a lot of Mommies-to-be with these dangling from their keychains any time soon. Right now, the only way to get one is to make it down to the Parkside Hiroo Ladies Clinic in Tokyo and shell out $1280.
 
4. Baby Dumbbell: designed for babies to not feel embarrassed by baby fat

[shahrukh]

Olympians need to start training from day one. How do you think greatness is achieved? They need to start pumping iron the day that they're able to lift their little arms. Help your baby achieve greatness and shed that baby fat fast. The Buff Baby Dumbell Baby Rattle looks heavy, but is actually just a lightweight baby rattle that will make parents chuckle due to the irony.
 
5. Baby Poop Alarm: an alarm that lets you know when the baby pooped

[shahrukh]

How do you know when your baby has dropped a nasty doo-doo in his drawers? Well, you can probably smell it, am I right? I know I am. However, I wish I was wrong. For you parents who want to know IMMEDIATELY when the dirty deed has been done, and not after that stinky smell defiles your nostrils, there's the Baby Poop Alarm. The device attaches to the outside of the diaper and plays a sound/lights up when your sweet, precious angel busts out a big, stanky deuce. Wheeee!
