I’m sorry to do this to you

The Peekaru — like a Snuggie, but creepier.

    That is the creepiest of the creepy. I would almost say it looks like something out of a David Cronenberg film, but the art design in Cronenberg’s films is immeasurably superior.

    It’s autumn where they are.

    It’s her twin.

    Thank you, Deron. I have to try and sleep soon – even the slightest bout of indigestion will now turn into the oddest dream!

    I’ll tell you whose face pops out of my chest in the morning!

    I’m sorry you did that to me too.

    Little known fact: (healthy) babies have thermoregulatory mechanisms. If you would be hot as hell wearing that in this weather, so is baby. Compound that with shared body heat from close contact and I wouldn’t wear that thing before November in most climates.

    If, of course, I were to be paid enough to wear it at all.

    Dave, isn’t it also true that a mother’s body temperature will change when the baby is close to assist with regulating the baby’s temp? Someone told us that when Izzy was small. It doesn’t work with dads which is a bummer, but I didn’t have to do that labor thing so…

    Or maybe my wife was just making up excuses to hold the baby more than me.

    It looks completely synthetic, to boot. Sweaty mama. Crying sweaty baby. Cute.

    In the Peekaru’s defense, it appears that the photo shows it being used wrong. The photos on the actual site are significantly less creepy.

    I hate fleece. And this is a solution for a nonexistent problem. And it’s ugly. And what if you catch on fire or fall off a bridge into deep water? And it’s not wool. With a baby due in 3 months, I will need to be on guard. The world is already way too full of Useless Baby Crap.
