Wow: Carry your baby while looking utterly ridiculous with this strange device
by Nicholas Deleon on March 31, 2009

Congratulations, America, you’ve finally designed a product that looks dumber than both the Snuggie and Smittens, combined. It’s called the Peekaru Original Fleece Baby Carrier Cover, and it’s ridiculous.

For a cool $80 you can do away with the chore of having to carry your baby in your arms or put him or her in a stroller. You simply slip this hit little number on your body, then plop the baby inside—now you’re ready for whatever life throws at you!

And yes, it’s made in the USA. Take a bow, America!

Two things: one, why not use a stroller to take baby around the neighborhood; and two, does this not remind you of this scene?

Actually, it reminds me more of THIS...

2. Is this made by Snuggie?
It looks like a Snarness to me.

4. You know it's not long before they make those for adults.
Something for those seeking a return to the security of the womb. Perhaps they'll cover the entire couch and leave a hole to stick your head through. Or they'll just strap into the car seat.

Hi,
I'm going to steal this idea from you and apply for a patent.

Peace

5. Looks like a bizarre set of Siamese twins who are not aged-matched
On the other hand, I can see moms liking this. Hands and toes are tucked away where they can't get into any trouble.

7. kind of weird, but a very young baby might like certain aspects of it -


except that they can't check things out with their hands. :shrug: Hmm, I don't know.

10. How do you not suffocate or choke the poor child?
Let's not even get into the severe mental trauma from the embarrassment!

:D

11. We have one. It's not a carrier, it's a jacket, and it's usually worn the other way around.
It provides a hole for the baby/toddler in the back carrier. If you walk to work and have to carry a toddler/baby in the depths of winter, it's a 100% necessity. We'd have paid $150 for it, if that's what they charged.

It's actually one of the most useful baby things made out there right now. That + Ergo = comfy winter walking for baby and parent.

So there. I've rained on your thread.

:D

13. This thing really needs a hood for the adult too.
If you covered all but the parent's face, you'd get that freaky homunculous look that this is hinting at here.
