* BonusRound: The piggy bank smashing.
* ConsolationPrize: $1,000 Walmart gift cards.
* GameShowHost: Melissa Peterman.

* RecycledInSpace: It's ''Series/BeatTheClock'' [-WITH BABIES-]
** And the most recent ''Series/LetsMakeADeal'' has also had an occasional minigame involving smashing open piggy banks.

* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''Baby Races'', a game show broadcast by The Network Currently Known As Creator/{{Freeform}} (oddly enough, host Melissa Peterman's acting claim to fame is [[Series/BabyDaddy another Freeform show]]) and produced by Goodson-Todman alumni Robert Sherman; it was a bit more competitive, as was ''The Baby Game'' (an even more obscure 1968 entry that also aired on ABC).

That's about it, actually. The first season aired on Saturday nights beginning in April 2013. Despite airing in a [[FridayNightDeathSlot Saturday Night Death Slot]], it was [[http://variety.com/2014/tv/news/bet-on-your-baby-renewed-by-abc-1201074253/ renewed]] for a second season in June 2014, with the network pairing it up with the celebrity music competition ''[[Series/TuCaraMeSuena Sing Your Face Off]]'', and then burned off episodes of its drama flop ''Series/TheAssets'' (which was then pulled after two weeks and replaced by reruns of ''Series/RookieBlue'')

GameShow on Creator/{{ABC}} hosted by Melissa Peterman which involves making predictions on one of the most unpredictable things you could ever predict: the actions of a young child.

Four couples play per episode; one half takes their child into a "Babydome" to try and get them to perform a task, while the other half must predict how well they do. If the punter gets it right, the couple wins $5,000 in college tuition for their child. Regardless of performance, the four couples then get a chance to play a qualifying game for a chance at $50,000 in tuition in a BonusRound: it's basically ''Series/{{Concentration}}'', except with their kids uncovering the rebus by manipulating toys instead of matching prizes. The winning couple then smash open up to five piggy banks to determine their final prize.

show]]) and produced by Goodson-Todman alumni Robert Sherman; it was a bit more competitive, as was ''The Baby Game'' (an even more obscure 1968 entry that also aired on ABC).

* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''Baby Races'', a game show broadcast by The Network Currently Known As Creator/ABCFamily (oddly enough, host Melissa Peterman's acting claim to fame is [[Series/BabyDaddy another ABC Family show]]) and produced by Goodson-Todman alumni Robert Sherman; it was a bit more competitive, as was ''The Baby Game'' (an even more obscure 1968 entry that also aired on ABC).

* SceneryPorn: The '''''BABYDOME'''''. It's a bright, futuristic daycare.
