While out with my two year old and 5 month old sons it became very clear feeding the baby was impossible while chasing my 2 year old. Very determined to find something to help and coming to the same conclusion of nothing working, I created a working prototype of Bottle Buggy. After much success and other parents delight to have one, the created Bottle Buggy reached the market in 2007.
October 2, 2009
Bottle Buggy is a unique design in baby bottle handling. It provides a parent the ability to feed a hungry baby while still in the comfort of their infant car seat. Bottle Buggy simply attaches to the top carry handle of any infant car seat and by using the two straps it can secure any bottle type. There is also a hook to hang a toy ring. Bottle Buggy is an excellent way of helping an infant through the learning process of bottle feeding.
Inventor: Elaine R. Noseworthy
My name is Elaine and I am a mom with two boys, Michael and Nicholas. I am a resident of Staten Island, New York. I have been married for 11 years to a wonderful man and my best friend. The happiest days of my life are working with my kids and thinking up helpful ideas for parents on the go .
I love to play golf, scuba-dive, crochet and since my husband bought a motorcycle last year we bought me one (a honda rebel) a few months ago and I have been learning to ride (What a Rush!!)
VisorTag™ is designed to not only protect and preserve the "Handicapped Parking Permit Placard", but also to allow the disabled driver to easily display and fold away the placrad without using the rearview mirror. It holds the placard inside a sturdy clear plastic frame for protection,and clips onto the passenger's visor. When you park in a handicapped parking space, simply pull down the plastic frame to display the permit, and before you drive, simply fold it back toward the visor and it will magnetically latch into a stored position, and out of your driving line of sight.
I had a back surgery in 2004, and had to use a handicapped parking permit for few months. After a month, the hook broke off, and had to tape it together, and then the whole placard became curled and brittle, so I bought a new one to replace it. I thought there must be something on the market I could buy to deal with the hanging and removal of the permit, and would protect the placard. I searched and searched and all I could find is cheap plastic covers that offer little protection, but the hanging and removal of the placard continued to be a chore. I came up with VisorTag™ and designed it to protect the placard, and to allow the user to easily display and remove the permit without using the rearview mirror. A patent was issued in May 2008.

Great "helper" but I would love to see someone invent a bottle holder that would fit on a baby's car seat. There is nothing worse than a baby needing a bottle when you are driving and they keep droping it. Reaching in the backseat to pick it up is … more dangerous while you are driving. Message to Sharon: We all love to hold our babies and feed them but it is not always possible especially when you have more than one child.

It has always bothered me to see baby's bottles propped, this is the same thing. Are we such a busy society that we can't sit down for 10 minutes and feed our babies?? I think this is very sad. Babies need to be held, and nurtured...to meet their … more emotional/psychological needs.
