Swaddle Me in Good Design
Do they make these things for adults too? Yes they do, they are called straight-jackets.
Be that as it may, I would still like one in an adult XL. Then push me around in this pimped out ride.
Do you want my initial impression of baby gear? One word: hideous. Actually let me modify that, American designed baby gear is hideous. Never have I seen such a wide chasm of disparity than while looking at the differences between American and European baby design aesthetics. It’s interesting to see how one company will make the exact same product with the exact same name for two different markets. The European one will be simple, clean and modest, while the American counterpart will be bloated, ornamented, and all wrapped up in a fabric that looks like it was ripped off the lobby floor of a hotel in Disneyworld.
It’s also troubling that if you do find something simple and minimalist, it’s usually five times the price as its ostentatious and gregarious cousins. I need to find a cheap flight to Finland.
