“Necessity is the mother of invention.” – Plato
When raising our babies, we found ourselves repeating one phrase as they got to the age of sitting in their high chairs and activity seats. Over and over again we would tell them, “Don’t drop it!” as they continuously threw their teethers, toys, and sippy cups. Not only would it become tedious to repeatedly wash the items that fell to the ground so that they could put the teether, toy, or sippy cup back in their mouth, but over time it became a game to have mom or dad pick up their dropped items. Other toy tethers had to be attached in ways that were too far from where we needed them, thus restricting the functional movement desired to be able to drink from an attached sippy or chew on an attached teether. I needed something with a strong suction cup that could go right on the high chair or stroller tray or even the table at a restaurant. We couldn’t find anything that was exactly what we wanted, so we decided to make it.
However, the Don’t Drop It ™ is not only for babies! From infants to the elderly, the Don’t Drop It ™ will prove useful for any items you don’t want falling or getting knocked to the ground when attached anywhere with a smooth, dry, flat surface.
From me explaining my idea to my husband, drawing it on paper (seen here), taking it to a designer and manufacturer, and getting prototypes and a trademark, it’s now officially for sale on Amazon! We hope you find the Don’t Drop It ™ as useful as we do and that it can help save your sanity from the “dropping game.”
