Nearly a year ago to the day, we ripped out all of our carpet and put in bamboo flooring. I love it. The carpet was cheap and nasty and impossible to keep clean, and after 5 minutes with a broom, the new floor could look like new.
A few weeks after we got the floor, Capone arrived. I was still in love with the floor and can’t imagine what our carpet would have looked like now. That said with a nearly 11 month old who is quite the independent, but messy eater, even if I sweep 5x a day my floor still has a fine coating of mashed bananas, stray cheerios, dust bunnies, etc. Today I invested in Baby Roomba.
Unlike a iRobot 560 Roomba Vacuuming Robot which is quite expensive, my Baby Roomba required only
- a handful of large empty Easter Eggs
- 1 size 24 months fleece pajamas
- 1 pacifier (suggested but not required)
- 1 crawling/scooting/slithering baby (sold separately)
My Baby Roomba specializes in hard to reach places like under the entertainment center, the edges of the couch, and other corners.
I activated my Baby Roomba by sending an empty Easter Egg across the floor. Baby Roomba chased the egg using his fleece pjs to clean the floor as he went. When/if Baby Roomba gets stuck, simply send the Easter Egg in a different direction.

While not required, my Baby Roomba sometimes requires the use of a pacifier because he often prefers to eat the dust bunnies he finds.
After floor has been sufficiently swept (or Baby Roomba gets bored), use a handheld vac to remove lingering dust bunnies from pjs or simply change clothes.
Baby Roomba is not currently available in stores.
