Yes. I've thought it over and I know my mother-in-law would have purchased this for me. In the most unattractive color possible and then would have nagged me about wearing it.

The side of me that wants kids is always fighting the side of me who thinks of Aliens whenever pregnancy is mentioned. I'll tell my mom she has Gawker to blame when I refuse to give her grandchildren.

@Grim Reaper of the Forest: Really? I blame her own questionable parenting skills whenever she dares start down that conversational path.

Any self-respecting baby smothered into this thing is going to have one overriding goal: ESCAPE!
In no time there will be an arm sticking out beside the head (and much screaming will ensue as the child is not only fake-womb trapped but also twisted up and stuck even worse), or the kid will drop its head down into the hole and pop up both arms to climb out, or an arm and a leg, or flip over and try two legs, etc. Anything to get the hell out of that thing!
So aside from how extremely stupid (and cruel) it looks, it ain't gonna work. Sure, the parent could strong arm the kid into submission as well as having it trapped in this stupid bag ... what the hell is the point?
Good lord people. Who speaks up for the babies?! They didn't sign off on all this preciousness and obsessive over protection. Set them free! Maybe on of those $80K sabbatical people can be a pro bono baby lawyer for a year.

@ThereMustBeAPony: I hearted you for your name a long time ago, but also because I knew we shared a baby-freeing soul. I could just tell.

After the indignities one faces when pregnant and giving birth, wearing something as dorky-looking as this is nothing. Also nothing, possibly because of the loss of cognitive function due to sleep deprivation, are the snarky comments of others. Having no shame at looking like a complete fool is one of the things you learn when you're a parent.

@Lizawithazee: But, see, that's what's so insidious about this kind of product!! And why it is evil!! The manufacturer's catch you during the few months in your young lifetime when you have no capactity to make coherent decisions. It's crueler than selling you overpriced fake roses in bars!!!

I have a Russian baby. It's a baby inside of a baby inside of another baby.

How do you get the baby in? Is there a secret doorway somewhere on the side?

@Fry_Bread_Power: You give birth with the peekaru on, then the baby migrates up to the opening. Simple.

I say we nuke the Peekaru from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

I'm thinking this will cause tons of therapy and separation issues later in life. Children really are never supposed to be that close after expulsion from the womb. The proliferation of a marsupial pouch is regressive and perennially exclusionary for all other beings in the household. Ramifications will include, needing to be breast fed well into their 30's, delayed potty training, and an atrophying of major muscle groups...i.e. Rush Limbaugh disease.

Hmmm much as I agree that is disturbing looking and much ugly, I didn't give a f*ck what I looked like when my kid was under a year. I fully understood that I looked like a sleep deprived cave bear*.

*As a bonus- this look helps dissuade strangers who like to touch babies.

Both host and extra terrestrial parasite are noticeably more cheerful in this re-enactment of the chest-popping scene from Alien.
