I went to college with two of these Modern Dads (John and Willie)- crazytown!

Umm... it looks like Sophie mated with an elephant somewhere in a French jungle.

By the time our kid was big enough to swat at toys, he had enough head control for the exersaucer... so toys were not key for us.

You could also rub with soap...

Wow! Do children in American really have/need so many toys that they can use them as padding in furniture? Perhaps a better use of these toys would be to donate them to a children's shelter, or try to avoid collecting them in the first place.

Hang a bear bag out of your window?

I have almost the exact same chairs... danish modern recovered in ikea... with an extra stash of ikea fabric in case of spaghetti mishaps!

I have ordered their flannel sheets and been disappointed by pilliness.

I bought the phil and ted's for my husband as a Christmas gift (Costco has a GREAT price right now) as the travel solution for our baby (expected in June). Mostly, the aesthetics of Graco are somewhat hard to swallow, as is the incredibly large size. That being said, the P and T was definitely not a cinch to set up (even by two people who have set up a tent probably 200 times). We may get better at it in the future after many uses. It does pack very compactly, would be easy to fit in a suitcase, and is lightweight. Also works outside and comes with a "slim shadee" sunroof. Some parents may be bothered by the fact that it does not accommodate a sheet, but that doesn't bother us that much. Also, you could likely retrofit with stick-on velcro and a piece of fabric, if you wanted. Would be interested to hear from others who have actually used this piece of equipment.
