Some jackwagon was making fun of Tactical Baby Gear on Twitter…

…but damned if I wouldn’t have minded one of these Emergency Blowout Kits for the car, back in the day. Five bucks for a self-contained packet of diaper, wipes, disposable changing pad, and trash bag? Sold, friend. Heck, gimme the five-pack for twenty and you have a nice day, too.

The rest of the stuff is hokey — back when I needed one, I didn’t really care about whether the diaper bag was ducky-themed or whatever — but the modular nature (you can apparently swap out compartments to personalize the bag) is nice. Or at least aspirational. Because I know perfectly well that I would have never used that feature to its full potential. Still, looked cool.

PS: On a general note, directed outward to the Internet (and not anybody here): it is not always easy to be a stay-at-home parent (either mother, or father). Please do not make it harder for us because you think that it’s funny to mock how people approach a difficult task. Because, when it comes right down to it, it’s none of your fucking business how people personally psych themselves up to the job of raising a kid.

  1. Heh. There seems a plenty big market for parental devices that *arent* obnoxiously female geared. Looks like these guys found it and are acting accordingly. Hey, free market success!
    .
    Ah. I see.
    Aside from the fact that the tactical-[Thingy™] meme is *supposed* to be tongue in cheek, this is likely what set them off. No surprise that is over a Tweeter’s head…

  2. Hell’s bells I need to design and market something similar for touring motorcyclists. *checks google* Nope, don’t see anything like that. Hmm ….

  3. I grew up with eight siblings and Lord only knows what my parents would have given for a stash of those EBKs. My memory is checkpointed with road trips in our family station wagon that most people today would simply not believe.

    God Bless my parents.

    1. Six siblings here, though I was the 6th, so I don’t remember any of the goings on. On the other hand, I am told I managed to get out of the house and ask the girl next door to play in the time it took my mother to find plastic pants. I was, apparently, still wearing the towel.

  4. I have eight siblings. I’m 46 and I’m making progress in my recovery.

    My mom and dad are too far gone to help. I don’t know how helpful tactical baby gear would have been. They needed gear on a strategic level.
