If only if the inventors came up with a fearless toddler version, that would really sort out the teenagers desperate for a baby.

yeh Goblin. well I believe that's why some schools give out these simulator babies. I personally wish our school did that, just for a laugh! :)

damn man your right. I have dealt with toddlers fearless and not its a trial trust me I don't want kids till i got money to get through life. its expensive to raise a real kid these baby semulater things arent shit to the real thing.

I agree. I've had a baby simulator for health class, and I loved it. I have five younger cousins, and a baby one in the making, and they are the meanest bunch of hellians. Simulators are definetly NOT anything like real kids.

Hmm your all right. 10 minutes ago, I had to prevent his nibs from pulling the tree lights apart, he would have been one very electrocuted two year old.

Had one for the weekend once, and hen I went out, I got alot of weird looks. It as one of those babies with the delicate neck so u had to hold it properly or it would b recorded. for parenting we also had to do this pricing assignment and a newborn baby is not cheap, imagine how much they cost as hey grow. this baby woke me up at 3 in the morning just to be held, he didn't need a diaper, no food just wanted attention bc it couldn't go back to sleep. Did anyone get the stupid egg experiment?

I've never had nor saw one. But my friend's daughter wanted a baby alive, or whatever it's called, for christmas. I don't get that. If you want to take care of a crying shitting baby, get a job baby sitting, that way you get payed for it.

Never had one but heard of them crying and tell me the way they cry you'd think somebody's got a real baby that's just how they sound. They had them in my high school mad people were snatching them up. I wonder if you can feed it and burp it and change it like a real baby. And do they move or do they just sit in one spot and cry their lungs out.

I never knew what you call those things until I read this post and I went farther down and it rang a bell in my head and reminded me of people in school carrying them I'm like oh those?

Those devices are really quite annoying, and they don't sound like anything remotely approaching a normal, crying human baby.

Well, my cousins have had Baby Anabelland Baby Born dolls which is the closest thing I think to a baby simulater for children between the ages of about 3 and 13 years. They did more or less all the same things as a human newborn. They cry, suck on a bottle, go to sleepp, they need winding, they coo and laugh if you tickle their hands and feet hard enough, Etc Etc, but i think from April this year, they'll be all but forgotten as Kezzie and Tegen'll have a real little brother or sister to help their mum bathe, feed, take for rides in the buggy and keep the baby amused.

these babies cry, they need burping, feeding, diaper changes, rocking, and attention. they don't move and sometimes are annoying, but they can be a good teaching tool if you let them be. you can't rip out the batteries because the teacher has a key that she or he locks the back with and you can't open it. you can however in an emergency press the emergency stop button that will turn the baby off with a paper clip it is always a good idea to get your teacher's phone number because sometimes you may have issues with the baby. if anyone has any further questions let me know.

I had a baby Thinkitover for a weekend once in highschool, as a test drive for my Mum who was teaching an early childhood studies class. It was actually kind of fun, except for the sleeplessness, my darling mother had set it to Bad Baby, naturally. They're a lot tougher than a real baby of course, and I looked pretty funny, running around the bush trying to round up a few stray sheep with pretend baby on my hip. Of course baby needed attention, at the crucial moment, so I had to abandon my post, and sit down in the scrub to feed baby while the sheep ambled off looking smug.

that is so funny. they do need an enormous amount of attention. sometimes though a real baby does need as much if not more then these babies. I know that several schools for the blind have them but not all. my local high school has them missouri school has them west virginia school for the blind has them mississippi school for the blind has them and probably several others. They are good to teach you that a baby is a lot of responsibility and can do that but there are things that they will never be able to simulate. if you have questions PQN or PM me please.

Where can you get those? I know I've held one in school during my health class in my freshman year, but I've never actually had one. They're supposed to be expensive as all hell, too.

I never had one, but i read some articles regarding those. Its pretty helpful for some people, but it doesn't work sometimes. I think they need to give them more time to take care of those baby simulators for them to realize its importance.

I used a baby simulator in middle school. It was one of those where you had to insert a key to stop the baby from crying. It was fun, and I wish I could have had it longer! I also agree that they are a great teaching tool.

Post 23 by Reyami (I've broken five thousand! any more awards going?) on Monday, 04-Feb-2008 7:28:14

I don't really like that, because in real life, you can't insert a key in to a child's back to make him or her stop crying. Kids do not come with instruction manuals, obviously.

Post 24 by battle star queen (I just keep on posting!) on Monday, 04-Feb-2008 22:22:08

i had one in high school and it was an experience. It kept me up all three nights and cried like every five minutes.

Post 25 by rdfreak (THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE-BLUE KANGA-KICKIN AUSIE) on Tuesday, 05-Feb-2008 2:10:09

*laughs* .. I think if you inserted a key into a real babies back, it would not only cry but scream! woops, not funny but in the context of this it is.
I want one though. we never had them in school so I missed out, Lol

Dang. I would have loved the ones where you really had to feed the baby, change it, and other stuff.

LOL, I had the key one, and I remember wondering what the point was...I knew there was more involved than that as I've got 3 younger siblings. LOL, I think the more life like ones would be better for a learning experience. Also, I'm whole heartedly for doing a pricing experiment before having a baby...It's interesting to look at. Believe me, as my husband and I want children, and are hoping that any day we'll get our wish we keep a close eye on those things...Prices, best value, name brand or off brand, etc.
