Let a Peekaru Original simplify the process of getting out of the door. Wear your Peekaru over any baby carrier and you're ready for cooler weather. Add a coat and you're ready for winter. Whether it's a crisp fall evening walk, a winter carnival, or a springtime parade, the Peekaru will keep your baby toasty warm without the clutter.

sure, it seems like a good idea in theory, a baby carrier cover to keep your babies warm while you strain your already exhausted spine (9 months wasn't enough?!). it's like a snuggie for children who would otherwise be embarrassed if they were old enough to not shit themselves. oh who am i kidding? it's not like they'll have any shame when they get older.

perhaps the kuato costume is too unsettling for you? mom4life.com has a myriad of baby carrier styles to chose from (including a horrid baby carrier for children that would make exzibit gleeful). any one of these beautiful styles will be yet another step towards ensuring your children will never be able to bear separation for very long. i still call my parents every day.

as for the parents who opt for strollers, buggies, or perambulators, perhaps hoping to raise a more independent child while at the same time reducing their own impulses to be so fucking clingy, take heed: there will always be someone to suffocate children with their frightfully excessive supervision.

My 10-year-old son wanted the chance to walk from our house to soccer practice behind an elementary school about 1/3 mile from our house. He had walked in our neighborhood a number of times with the family and we have driven the route to practice who knows how many times. It was broad daylight - 5:00 pm. I had to be at the field myself 15 minutes after practice started, so I gave him my cell phone and told him I would be there to check that he made it and sent him off. He got 3 blocks and a police car intercepted him. The police came to my house - after I had left - and spoke with my younger children (who were home with Grandma). They then found me at the soccer field and proceeded to tell me how I could be charged with child endangerment. They said they had gotten "hundreds" of calls to 911 about him walking. Now, I know bad things can happen and I wasn't flippant about letting him go and not checking up, but come on. I live in a small town in Mississippi. To be perfectly honest, I'm much more concerned about letting him attend a birthday party sleepover next Friday, but I'm guessing the police wouldn't be at my house if I chose to let him go (which I probably won't).

what an embarrassing and paranoia-inducing situation! fuck that noise, i think i'd rather resemble the fuckin' martian george washington.
