Ummmm ShamWow!!! (did you hear the Sham Wow guy got arrested?!)
Anyway, this is called the Peekaru. That name makes me want to punch a baby.
While it may be functional to a new young Mama, the pictures had me howling like a 12 year old boy. It’s like a Snuggie with a little extra. Kangaroos do it, why can’t we?
All I can think about is that gory scene from Alien where the alien breaks out of John Hurt’s sternum. BLARGH!
Looking at this, I just know I’d get my baby in there and he’d immediately take a crap and I’d have to undo it all and change him and by that time there’s no way I’d go for a walk so I’d just get fat sitting around on the couch and my husband would be all like “why do you waste money on this kind of thing?’ then I’d cry and eat more from the stress and get fatter and holy smokes I have issues.
Anyhoooo, this is how you put it on (it would take me 20 minutes and a neighbour’s help, but this young lass has mad mothering skillz):

Thanks Amo for the early morning laugh!

This reminds me of the movie Total Recall. “Quaid, start the reactor!”

That is just not right. Not mohair-naked-suit not right. Still. I couldn’t get The Boy into a Baby Bjorn without a meltdown (mine and his.)
I looked at that without sounds. I’m not sure the child like it, I think that kicking means “get me the fuck out of here… I came out of that uterus for a reason.”

Oh my God I would accidentally smother my kid and kill them! Also – that’s gonna be a real boilermaker inside there when that kid lays a dooby.

That picture is still making me laugh. I couldn’t even imagine what I would do if I actually saw a mother wearing that. And it really looks like the baby could suffocate if you aren’t talented enough.

This is totally one of those things that sounds good in principle, but would just be a disaster if I tried it in real life.

omg this made me laugh so hard I cried…I’m so glad I’ve found your site, I’ve thought for a long time that the hideous handmade needed to be pointed out

While the Peekaru does bring up some Alien imagery, I’m going with the partially-absorbed parasitic twin theory.
