Show transcript0:08Stick with us later because we're going to be planning your dog's dream vacation.0:11Right, but first, shaking an infant out of anger or frustration can lead to severe brain damage, even death.0:17That's right, but a New Jersey company called Bouncing Babies is making it safer than ever to shake your baby.0:22Joining us now is founder of Bouncing Babies, Kelly Timmons.0:25Hi.0:25Hi, Kelly.0:26Thanks for having me.0:27Kelly, tell us about this amazing product you've created.0:29Well, it's called the Baby Safe Ball, and it keeps your baby 100% safe no matter how hard you shake him0:34Wow.0:34or her, because let's face it, whether he's teething or if he's got colic, the fact is he's going to drive you crazy crying and, and, and making noises some days, and you're going to have to throttle.0:43Yeah, well, looks like it'd make a great shower gift.0:45Oh yes, it's perfect for, for first-time mothers, and I also recommend it to daycare centers or nannies, anyone who's working with a newborn.0:53Right, well, wonderful. So show us, uh, how it works.0:55Well, it uses gyroscope technology, which keeps the baby upright no matter which way you shove or throw him.1:01So the baby's neck won't snap under the weight of its skull being thrown back and forth.1:04That's right, exactly. And on the outside, it's got a thick layer of break-resistant polyurethane, so you could throw this thing against a stone wall and it won't crack.1:11Oh, now this here is your own personal baby safe wall.1:13Yep, mm-hmm, and these dents in it are from when I put my firstborn Tyler in it and beat it with a hammer.1:18You know, Kelly, we have had one of our producers volunteer her own baby Sam1:22Oh.1:22to be used as a demonstrator so you can show us exactly how the baby safe ball works.1:27I'd be glad to.1:27Oh, he's so sweet.1:28Oh, but just imagine he's been crying and crying, and you know he's not hungry1:32Right.1:32and his diaper is dry, and so you don't know why he's crying, but it just won't stop.1:36Right, you just have to get in the right mindset.1:38Right. Okay, so put him in there.1:41There you go.1:42So just pop the baby inside and buckle him up.1:44That looks cozy. I don't think a baby should mind being shaken in there.1:48That's the idea. Okay, so just close the hatch.1:51Ah.1:52There you go.1:52There he goes.1:53Bye-bye.1:53There he goes now. Go ahead, pick it up, Jim.1:56Oh, okay. Oh, it's actually quite light.1:59Yes, and it's soundproof, and there are clowns painted on the inside.2:02Oh.2:03So while you're out there shouting and screaming, it's just thinking about clowns.2:06That's genius.2:07Absolutely. Here, like this.2:10Stop crying. Why won't you stop crying?2:12Oh, I see. Yeah, it's really that simple.2:14Mm-hmm, and you can stab it with forks or knives or broken bottle tops.2:18Try it out, Tracy.2:19It's great.2:20Okay. So you could actually punt your baby down the stairs, and he wouldn't even know the difference?2:23Oh, he'll probably just snap right through it.2:25Stop crying.2:26That's the idea.2:27Stop crying. You're not being quiet.2:30Perfect.2:30Stop!2:31Good girl.2:35Oh yeah, let it out, Gracie. Oh, let it out.2:37We all wanted to do this, right?2:39Yeah.2:42All right, uh, Kelly Timmons, everybody, thanks very much for being on the show.2:45Oh, thank you.2:46And you stay right where you are, because coming up after the break, we're gonna learn computers.
