As a mother of two young boys I am always concerned about their safety. Choking has been one of my biggest fears since the day they were born. Having heard many stories of children choking on a number of different things…mostly grapes…I have always been obsessed with cutting up their food into tiny pieces. Who’s with me on this one?
Well, I recently found out about this device called Life-Vac and had to try it for myself. It is only $70 (you can buy it here) and basically sucks whatever the person is choking on right out of their throat. Although I have thankfully not had to use it for a choking incident, I did try it out on the boys for two reasons. First, I don’t want the first time I ever use it to be during a real emergency as I am sure I would be in a panic. Second, if I ever do have to use it in an emergency I don’t want to bust out this thing they’ve never seen and add to the scare factor.
Let me tell you…it literally sucked the snot out of their noses! I hope that I never have to use it for real but I do feel safer knowing that I have it, just in case!
I have decided that I am going to start giving this as a baby shower gift!
