Dear readers.
This time I am starting with a comment as I am so discusted that I have difficulty wording it, but I think this a very serious matter.
Fisher Price USED to stand for Quality Educational toys for the children which made them inventive, gave them self confidence and made them learn how to create situations and sceneries. And we All trusted Fisher Price! and all our kids had Fisher Price toys.
But at this moment I am asking you to boycott Fisher Price, as I feel they have gone over the line by far.
Where is a mention of Sir. William Stewarts "Precautionary Principle"?
Gone with the greed!

I do realise times are hard in business, ours included, , but I will Not Accept that they, Fisher Price are So hard up that they are are prepaired to sacrifice the future healt of the small innocent children, Just for Profit!
That way they will have to accept a shared LIABILITY FOR HARM TO HEALTH with the Telecommunications Industry and the UK Government.

They seem to have jumped on the "Profit" vagon, which means they Do "MICROWAVE RADIATION" so we have to ditch them for our children and grandchildren, We Do Not Want ANY Harm to our own children or our precious grandchildren, and Fisher Price flouts the WHO warning on 2B carcinogenic for mobile phone use, and that is not even for Babies, but for Grown Ups!!

And still "NO ONE IS WORRIED ABOUT": The INDUCED HEALTH EFFECTS from the Radiation, Like the Cancer threat (Even the WHO has now had to give in and acknowledge that it is a classified "2B Carcogenic" (Even though they are totally in the pocket of the Mobile Phone Industry in the form of the SPONSORSHIPS they get from that quarter), the Obesity that follows, the ever after sleeplessness, the terrifying Headaches (give us a normal Migrane any day, we can live with that), the breakdown of our immune systems, the breakdown of our Metabolism, the bloodclots, etc.
But, this is the end of my raving, and we go on to the original article now.

You're never too young to get online: Fisher Price sells new case that turns your iPad into a baby's toy
Cover allows babies to use the device without getting dribble all over it
But critics say children should use traditional toys or listen to stories read by parents
Doctors also worry about the effects of screen use on child development



It’s usually a good year before a baby is up on his or her feet – but why should that stop them exploring the big wide world of the internet.
Fisher-Price is marketing a plastic and rubber casing for an iPad so children of six months can use mummy or daddy’s device without getting dribble all over it.
Selling at around £33, it might be perfect for those who think you are never too young to get online.

But the product will alarm critics who believe computers are increasingly being used as ‘electronic babysitters’ when children should be using traditional toys or listening to stories read by their parents.
Recent advice even suggested children under three should not use any computers or watch TV.


The product is called the ‘Laugh and Learn Apptivity Case’ and is described as being for children aged six months and older. A picture on the box features a baby using an iPad, safely protected within the case, to play a game without any apparent adult assistance.
The wording on the packaging boasts: ‘This sturdy case will protect your iPad from dribbles, drool, and sticky little fingers.

The company also offers free apps ‘for plenty of learning fun’. Children who tire of the moving pictures on the screen can amuse themselves with the ‘textured handle and rattle beads’ at the top of the case, or swing it from side to side on its rocker base.
All this, however, won’t impress child psychologist Dr Aric Sigman. Last month, he warned that toddlers should not spend any time looking at screens.
He said computers were being used as an ‘inferior’ third parent and children risked limiting their brain development when they should be relating to their parents face to face.
Professor Mitch Blair, of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, also said paediatricians were becoming concerned about the effects of screen use on child development.
