With each new year comes a spat of new baby products and with them, the introduction of lots of new, fresh, and innovative ideas as well as improvements on older ideas. There are several products set to launch in 2013 that I just can't wait to get my hands on--a reusable baby food pouch made of silicone, a universal stroller shade, a Keurig-like formula maker--but of course, there are also a slew of products whose usefulness eludes me. Here are five of the most ridiculous new products coming in 2013:

Bibby Mat

Okay, I understand that babies are messy--sometimes in the time it takes me to grab my keys, diaper bag and son and get out the door he manages to cover me in some form of goop and I have to turn around, change and start the whole process over. But the Bibby Mat is so ridiculously silly. First off, I'm pretty sure its functionality is being oversold. My seven-month-old would rip the "mat" piece off the table in a flash, nevermind the fact that food can still be dropped (or thrown) to the floor on either side, so you'll still end up doing a post-meal clean up. Plus, it just looks entirely too goofy.

Flat head syndrome is NOT just something that is purely cosmetic, and does NOT just "go away" on its own. It is because of this perception that so many babies end up having to go through painful physical therapy or even wear a helmet for months on end! A new study has even been released showing neurodevelopmental delays in children with deformational plagiocephaly too -http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16404269. Regardless of your opinion on the product, we MUST fight the misguided notion that this is not a serious problem-One that can be prevented if parents are educated and proactive.

Hi Kate, Please note that I specified "positional plagiocephaly," which is what this product is intended for. I'm very aware that more serious forms of plagiocephaly exist and are more serious. Thanks for your comment and the link you provided.
