Woudn’t having a spring under it be more efficient than a weird bent strap? I can’t imagine it would launch the baby too far.

They didn’t have such advanced spring technology back then.

It’s still inferior to the medieval baby trebuchet.

Yeah but the baby trebuchet is how we got all this stork nonsense, we can’t go back to random babies dropping from the clouds.

Weird bent strap is called a “leaf spring.”

Ah, thanks for the knowledge! Is it stronger than a twisty spring?

Eh they make em of all varying sizes and strengths, just kind of a “use the right one for the job” situation I think.

Terrible parenting. If you’re going to go to the trouble of yeeting your baby at least do it properly with a baby trebuchet.

Seriously, you could yeet it at least 300m that way, maybe more since they’re less than 90kg.

This is just an old-school rocker / bouncer, no? It looks like it’s meant to “float” the child like a one-sided sea-saw?

I guess if you pulled it all the way down and released, it could slightly yeet the child, but there are absolutely better contraptions if going for distance
