When it was time to register for my baby shower, my husband and I were completely overwhelmed. There is just so much stuff out there for babies. Which wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for all the useless, crude, and just plain bizarre stuff out there.
The creepy and inappropriate onesies they expect parents to put on their kids are bad enough. The clothing that's more expensive than anything I would even put on myself is easy enough to ignore. But I'm talking the flat out weird products that make you wonder: do these people actually have kids?

And if they do, what kind of childhood must these kids be having? Everything from wigs for kids to baby perfume is out there. Just check out some of these wacky offerings for the little ones.
What is the weirdest thing you've seen marketed for babies?

I know a lot of perfectly sane moms who adore the barefoot sandals. It's not aout decorating bare feet, it's about having baby shoes that don't interfere with foot developement. I think they are sweet.
The sandals are dumb. I did buy the Heelz for my daughter for a picture though.
I also liked the barefoot sandals.
Those little frufru headband things people put on their baby girl's head look uncomfortable for the baby! I always thought they were silly and overdoing it. Loved my dipe wipe warmer, though. As far as the peepee teepee, cute idea, but why not save money and use a dixie cup instead, or a washcloth? The soaps are kind of weird, but could look sort of cool gathered in a group (like the picture) on a plate in the bathroom. Sounds kind of strange, but a friend once put a group of doll's heads on one of her bathroom shelves--she was the arty sort. It actually looked interesting.
I want the barefoot sandals. Maybe not those ones, but there are some cute ones out there.
My idiotic SIL is a "shoe diva" and made it her life mission to turn her daughter into a diva as well as a shoe diva and she succeeded to the point of creating a brat. And she also bought her lovely daughter the exact Heelarious High Heels that were pictured *gag*.
I'll take the barefoot sandals over those tacky shoes any day!
LOVE the barefoot sandals!!!
I think the perfume is unnecessary(lotion anyone?) I think the bangs are just weird. The dolls and the soaps are just beyond creepy. I have no issues with the peepee teepee, but I personally covered them with a burp rag.
