Baby Think it Over was the original infant simulator by Reality Works. It was designed to teach teens in sex education class about the realities of having a baby. In high school classes, the students are assigned a Baby Think it Over Baby. This baby cries, needs feeding, changing, holding and everything else that a real baby would need.

Newer models can also grade the students on how well they did in which categories. They also make teen pregnancy curriculum and simulators. The goal is to reduce the number of teen pregnancies with the Baby Think it Over program.

Some high school sex education classes use something similar or try to do a home made verion using eggs or sacks of flour.
