Babies have iPad seats now

Source - A newborn baby cannot hold or even swipe at an iPad, but Fisher-Price is providing a way to keep infants glued to the device.
The Newborn-to-Toddler Apptivity Seat for the iPad allows parents to strap a baby to the reclining bouncy chair and slip a tablet into an attached case that hovers several inches above the infant’s face. The seat is chafing parents and child advocates who say the introduction of screen technology so early is harmful to the health and development of babies. Fisher-Price’s seat seems to hit a new low, they say, but other retailers also are promoting holiday gifts that integrate tech into baby gear, even a potty-training seat with an iPad stand.

Love it. Absentee parenting at its finest. Strap the kid in to the ipad seat to watch Tangled on loop. The next generation is a lost cause already, why fight it? I saw a video of a 2 year old try to touch the page of a real book to make the page turn. Are you shitting me? We are fucked. I needed glasses by 12 because I was glued to the kitchen desktop. We are melting the eyes of babies before they can walk. Parenting classes in the future are going to consist of how to shove contacts into the infant eyes of your children because they dont have fine motor skills yet so they get the full effect of the HD resolution on the iPad8. (Which is identical to the iPad original)
