Tools Of The Trade: The Mommy Hook

The Mommy Hook:

I'm a climber, not a great one but I have some really great stuff that gets used on and off climbing routes. So, this item predictably caught my eye. While the name is kind of annoying I have to say it's a handy thing to have in my daddy tool kit. It's useful for carrying bags of groceries home, looping jackets and things through and occasionally, like standard carabiners, attaching things to the stroller or diaper bag. The foam section really does make for a nice handle. Far more comfortable way to carry plastic grocery bags weather your walk is two blocks or twenty.

While it isn't rated for real "work" it's an honest improvement over what you might be tempted to use from your normal non-baby related life. The closest you'll get is going to be around $20 versus the very reasonable $8 for the Mommy Hook. So, if you can get past the name and the inevitable ribbing your likely to get from your friends you can get a Mommy Hook at any number of locations most notably Babies R Us, Toys R Us and Bed Bath and Beyond. As a bonus it will likely even perform better in this instance than your manly carabiner would have.

The website is just a simple splash page but the product isn't all that complicated...

...Not a bad stocking stuffer.
