It was basically the only half-decent product in the entire room. And Melody kept referring to it as just a car seat, but its a general booster seat as well!
The teapot lamp was just sh*t and I still don't understand what the postcards are, if i got one of them I'd just throw it out.

I don't like you.

Yes definitely and Susan loved it from the beginning and wanted it, as Tom did! Susan definitely chose the best items!

The car steat product was abit like the other baby product in last years series which Liz pitched to whichever company and got a record sales for.

Helen did a good pitch to Laredoute, no question, but it did look to be the type of product that would sell itself to some degree as well.

Yes, it was definitely the best item and both Susan and Tom knew this as soon as they saw it, its a pity that Tom let Melody talk him out of it when he was convinced that it would be a good seller. This shows how indecisive and how weak Tom is, for me!

Any new baby product will always sell. The proud parents think they have to have it even if they will never use it.

Yes, have to agree. Tom is my favourite and in spite of last night I think he does have something of a chance still.. albeit a small one. The babyseat was easily the best item and didn't they big up the scene where Tom accedes to the wishes of the other three

I have to admit I agreed with Melody about the seat when I was watching (although wouldn't have chosen the teapot either!) I have had a young child and I could not imagine EVER wanting to put her booster seat on as a back pack. Why on earth would anyone want to??? Booster seats are fairly cheap- my husband and I had one each for our cars. Even if we needed to use it elsewhere it was simple to lift out and put in someone elses car. I just didn't get it at all!!!!

But as shown it obviously must just be me missing the point....

Well I did, but then contrary to what they said on the show it 'HAD' been seen before, and on national Television.

It was shown on 'Where are they now?' the follow up to Dragons Den and it was made by the same people who made Trunki.

So I knew it was a winner since you had a 'proper' company with form who had developed it.

I didn't get the seat/rucksack.

As far as I could see it was a perfect solution to one specific problem: Where you need to move a child from A to B by some means of transport other than a car and then from B to A using a car that cannot have a permanent car seat deployed.

And how many people are in that situation?

Im totally with you too, i agreed with Melody, i dont see the point in carrying it around when you can leave it in the car? Weird product. Dont know why it was so popular.

You would leave a portable seat in a taxi that doesnt belong to you?

I had a portable seat like this once (but not in backpack form) and used it when I knew we had to catch a taxi somewhere (there were no other options, no buses and you tell me about how you regularly walk 5 miles on country lanes with a 4 year old).

Actually I wish I had it in backpack form rather than carrying round this car seat with me that looked rather conspicious.

I was just amazed that heading to a country of coffee drinkers - they did not take the simple espresso machine - I think that would have sold thousands to La Redoute.
Also flogging a "very English" teapot to the French - did any of them have an idea what Parisians think of the English?

Me too. Very surprised no-one considered the coffee machine. Seemed like a really good product to me, particularly for the French market

It's a travel/holiday product, not for everyday use. Wish they had explained this in the edit or narration



It looked very fiddly to me and looked like it would take a lot of space on the kitchen worktop. Also the French have their own preferred ways of making coffee, not the Italian style espresso method.

Selling coffee machines to the french?

Why not stop by Sweden in the middle of winter and tell them about how much snow you have to sell to them.

I have a coffee machine, love coffee and am always keen to look at other ones - believe it or not, people who have something often buy more of the same thing!

So you take the child and seat out and put the child in the Rucksac, and carry the child on your back?
And the "Spider" just some pipe cleaners twisted together?
