Bad Product Idea #7: Baby Hjölster
[ click the image to enlarge ]
If this was a real product, it wouldn’t just be for the recently-parented couple with a wagon-wheel coffee table and more pairs of boots than shoes (though it’d be mandatory for those). The Baby Hjölster infant holster carrier would be perfect for anyone who was a little bit country, maybe even a little bit rock ‘n’ roll. It’d also be great for dads with a new kid in towne, that just didn’t feel comfortable with conventional baby carriers.
Heck! While toting your tot around, you could be reliving your own childhood memories of Cowboys and Indians!… Now that I think of it, people haven’t played Cowboys and Indians as much since the way way olden days. Don’t think it’s because of political correctness! Young kids tend to get failing marks at both politics and correctness. Times they just keep on a-changin’, and so do movies and television. For instance, the Baby Shoulder Hjölster model would be good for later generations that once played Cops and Robbers. Hmmmm. I’m noticing a pattern. Hopefully the kids of the future won’t be playing CSI agent and Serial Killer… (shudder)
Anyways! I wandered. Baby Hjölster! Definitely a bad product idea, but a fun one for sure, and probably especially useful for anyone who needed to quickdraw a baby that just made a flash flood in their not-so-long johns.

This is awesome! A couple of these would be perfect for twins.
Oh man! THAT is a hilarious visual. I can almost see the showdown at high noon.
Funny you should mention that. I’m expecting twins and my wife shared this post on my wall today! Dual-wielding six-shot poo-shooters ftw.
For the what? Ha ha ha ha ha! Holster or no holster, better get yourself some kevlar. It washes really easily.
does it make me a bad parent that I want one?
No.
Ha ha!
Thanks! Awesome
Keep em’ coming!
Of course! Stopping isn’t in the equation.
Thanks!
You guys are way too funny.
BLAM! (as in my usual joyous exclamation, not as in baby gunfire)
My husband would love this!
YEEEEEEEHAW!
OK, that is just awesome.
(tipping my imaginary cowboy hat)
I want one, it would put me closer to my ultimate unattainable goal of be a 1/10th as awesome as Chuck Norris.
Guns don’t kill people. People who put babies in holsters kill people.
Make babies, not war.
Do you know which states require a permit or training classes to get one?
Ha ha! Good news: no permit is required for owning and carrying a baby, bad news: not only is no training required, no training is available.
I’m honestly looking at that and thinking “This would be a whole lot easier to put a baby in than the baby holder I had.”
Hilarious! Uhhhhh, and ditto.
lOVE. Yeeeeeee-haw!
BLAM!!!
Hilarious. The pic of the cowboy is me… That’s the thing about modeling… You just never know where your images are going to pop up! Nice job guys. Hilarious photo and you made me look pretty good… Now I just need a kid. LOL
Ohmygod!!! That is so rad that you saw this! How DID you!?! My brain is melting with radness. This is the THIRD time I’ve had an epic connection happen with people on the Internet from content in posts, where the odds were so astronomically against it! So rad! (can you tell I’m wigging out?)
I know weird huh? My web designer came across it and forwarded it to me.
Great job!!!! Love the post.
SO RAD!!! It’s a small world after all. Thrilled you love it. It took me .000001 seconds to choose your photo. It’s perfect! As the kids say: like a boss!
This is so ridiculously awesome that you found us. Ugh. The internet is back off my shit list.
Baby Hjölster, for all of those who want to crip walk like a pro!
Mad swagger!
Bad? It looks awesome.
If you just remove the J then you have holster in Swedish.
Ha ha ha! Really?!? I had to go with the J though, it’s what Americas pjut in every wjord they want to sjound Swedish. It’s Amewedish.
I apologize on behalf of myself and my cjountry.
Totaly true. I’m quite impressed that you got the letter Ö. Not exactly standard in the US keyboard layout
Here is two other baby related words:
Blöja = Diaper
Bäbis = slang for Baby
Keep up the good work on How to be a dad.
Was about to make the same comment on how close you were on the Swedish word but Marcus beat me. I would like to add another Swedish word.
Björn = Bear
So in Swedish the product is basically called Baby Bear.
Love your site! Keep up the good work.
Hejdå
My husband wants this!
It looks pretty cool, right? Some bad product ideas can look preeeeeeetty enticing.
Awesome job boys, just shared.
Rad! You’ve just been HTBAD deputized! ☆
Need. Badly.
Ha ha! There often exists a wide chasm between what one needs or wants and what one can have.
Ohh, man, as a father of twins, I would totally buy one of those. When do you plan to take it to market?
LOL! I don’t believe this product will ever be developed, buuuuuut… there are some pretty crazy product out there, so you never know, eh?
I envision a showdown at high noon wherethe stuff that
I envision a showdown at high noon where the stuff that they’re slinging is a bit squishier (and smellier) than guns
I know it’s from the wrong set of movies, but I want to say, “Do you feel luck, punk? Well, do ya?”
Then when the baby acts up just give it a few elbows to the head. what a hilarious and terrible idea.
I dont care how much it costs i want one….
Right!?! I’m guess I’m here to make fantasy into reality with Photoshop.
I showed this to my husband. His immediate reaction was “OH MY GOD THAT IS COOL! I would totally wear one of those!!” Someone needs to invent this, stat.
It is pretty cool looking.
Super rad you shared it with your hubby.
Awww so cute baby muaaaaaaaah
Holster is actually called hölster in Swedish lol
It’s satire, Sebastian. We’re poking fun at the Baby Björn.
Warning – Baby is as loaded as the dad….
License to spill.
Hehe, I can think of a few dads who would like this… until they realised the damage it would cause to both wearer and wearee. (Crotch dangler- need I say more?!)
You need not say more. Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Surely this is competition for the Piggyback Rider. Check it out at: www dot piggybackrider dot com.
We have twin 7 month old boys. I could so see my husband wearing this while chasing down the other children!
So funny and yet so adorable xx I’d like to order all three please <3
I would get one in a heartbeat just for photo shoots xxxxx
Haha! My husband will LOVE this!
I Really Want One If You Make It I Will Buy
