Baby slings were voted most useless by new parents in a new survey. 

The slings topped a list of ten nursery items that seemed like a good idea during pregnancy but which mothers and fathers now see as a total waste of money.

The survey found just one in four parents use the baby slings.  Diaper stacker came in second while baby washing bowls were third.
