New creepy parenting products

Fall 2005 will see new parenting products. First up is the O’Pair (how clever). It’s a tot harness that tries to soften the stigma of the kiddie-leash by combining the implied greater social acceptability of an umbilical cord with the fashion sense of a fanny pack.

Here’s another, the Take Out Time Out. It’s a mat that parents schlep around with them and toss to the floor to provide a space for the child to sit when he/she is told to take a “time-out”.
Cual es mas creepy? Hard to say.

These are great – an umbilical cord!!! These were probably previously published in an old issue of Mad Magazine…

It’s like a “You and Me” suit for kid and mommy.
Mommy and I are one. We can never be parted.
I like the way that kid is lounging on the time out pad. He’s too cool for time out.

It’s too bad they don’t make kiddie leashes with a choke chain. THAT would be innovative.
