…They really do know how to make life easier. I spotted this vending machine at SeaWorld – definitely a ‘momvention’, it’s filled with all the kiddie essentials that parents on the go might need, from diapers, wipes and cream to formula, bottles, pacifiers, Tylenol and sunblock.

Desperately seeking diapers? No problem, Nanny Caddy to the rescue (and no junk food in sight). When my children were this age, this handy machine would certainly have helped ensure our survival away from home.

Note to SeaWorld: How about some mermaids next?
