The scary thing is that mommies my age - especially the suburbia type, mid-30's first kid and not yet disillusioned by their parenting theories - would consider this an incredibly smart investment. And undoubtedly they would think they look cute - just like baby and me jumpers. Egad.<br /><br />BTW, love your blog! I came across it from a link about how to patch jeans, to Editor Anonymous and here I am. Good luck w/ the parenting. All it takes is one good stiff drink at a time! :)Kim Hrubahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17707688244510990236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235466434053435852.post-65142450483892618422009-04-09T12:59:00.000+01:002009-04-09T12:59:00.000+01:00And quite right too Juxtie.

It's just that baby stuff manufacturers manage to come up with ever weirder devices all the time. You can get toilet locks in case your toddler falls down the loo now! (Have you ever heard of this happening? More likely you'll come home drunk, and be unable to lift the toilet seat and end up weeing on the floor).Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16329937118727831213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235466434053435852.post-2326386180066113602009-04-08T06:47:00.000+01:002009-04-08T06:47:00.000+01:00I have to admit, babywearing coats can be so blood...I have to admit, babywearing coats can be so bloody useful when it's freezing cold and you can't get your sling over the top of your normal coat. <BR/><BR/>This, however, seems a particularly horrific example of the genre; it really does put you in mind of the Alien films!Rosemary Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12204378986946967049noreply@blogger.com
