Ridiculously unnecessary gadgets for new parents

Parenthood is definitely no walk in the park, and for newbie parents, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the long list of ‘essentials’ you are told you must have to properly prepare for baby. 

And with so many gadgets claiming to make parenting a breeze, where do you draw the line between the required and the unnecessary — some things just take two hands and common sense?
