Poll Reveals 'Least Useful' Baby Products

A new poll has revealed the top ten 'least useful' baby products – and the results could help parents save £275.

The study, carried out by Which?, asked more than 2,000 parents, of children aged five or under, to vote for the baby items that they considered the most and least useful . This did not include the key items such as cots or car seats.

When it came to the most important items, safety was a key concern with parents, who voted a stair gate as a must-have purchase, as well as audio baby monitors, baby sleeping bags and digital ear thermometers. For the least useful items, however, those making the list included a nappy stacker, baby hammock and cot mobile.

Richard Headland, editor of Which?, is quoted as saying: "Deciding which baby products to buy, especially if you're expecting your first child, can be overwhelming.

"Our survey of parents showed some clear winners that will make life with a newborn much easier, and those you can probably do without."

The top ten least useful baby products are:

1. Door baby bouncer

2. Baby washing bowls

3. Manual breast pump

4. Baby hammock

5. Fabric sling

6. Nappy stacker

7. Bumbo seat

8. Cot mobile

9. Swaddling blanket

10. Nappy disposal bin
