Peekaru? Who? Baby Carrier or Baby Cover? What is it?

For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out how this thing worked!!! I hated anything resembling a baby carrier when my daughter was born and when I saw this, I was really intrigued. It seems like other baby carriers on the market were more tortuous than breast feeding. Did I mention my daughter was born at 10lbs 02 oz and measured 21 inches long with a 15 inch head circumference?
Yeah, I thought you would sympathize. 
Anyway, so my sister is 38 weeks pregnant now, and I am looking for a good baby carrier for her so I can inflict some additional pain on her innocent ignorance of what’s coming next ….. (insert evil laughter here), and came across this Peekaru baby carrier/cover.
At first I thought it was the carrier itself not just a sweater to go over it.
Then I thought it was some kind of Sigourney Weaver/Alien joke.
Then I thought, it actually looked promising. I thought it was like a big sweatshirt with a huge pocket where you stick the baby. (You know like a kangaroo type of thing.)
Then I realized, it couldn’t possibly be sturdy enough to support the baby’s weight so there had to be some other contraption underneath where the baby would sit.
Indeed there is. And let me tell you…for those of us who HAVE attempted to insert an infant into one of these contraptions —- HAHAHAH (evil laugh again), Good Luck to all you chickies out there!
It does seem like a good idea though for keeping baby warm if you are the outdoorsy type and like hiking, running, shopping or have a sadomasochistic streak in ya! Guuurrr….Me? I prefer something called a stroller. You know, it’s got wheels and you can push it around. You should check it out. I save the S&M for the bedroom.
I wish I had one of these to test out so I can give you a play by play review….maybe I’ll get one for my unsuspecting sister as a new baby gift?!? HAHAHA! (pure evil)
If anyone wants to send me the Peekaru to a full review, please contact us here.
Convertible Stroller Turns into Bicycle & More

Wish I lived in the Netherlands or at least someone would make this in the US! Hint hint Bugaboo and Graco!! Come on keep up with the Europeans! This stroller really does seem like something I would use! I do have to admit, there are a lot of gizmos and convertible kid furniture and such that seems somewhat pointless to me, but I think this Dutch company Taga hit on something awesome here! It’s reminiscent of the Bugaboo slim and modern design but with an extra kick! And it seems to store well in a smaller trunk for those of us who don’t drive 18 wheelers and would like some space for our groceries. It also promotes healthier living for those of us who live in walking distance to the market or in a city. Also, since it is completely carbon emission free, Taga is a smart and convenient substitute for a car in large cities such as New York. It will allow you to reach greater distances throughout the city while still caring for the environment and getting some needed exercise.Gosh… I can soo see myself with this thing if I still lived in the city!!! I wouldn’t need a car for those short trips to the drugstore or supermarket but I could still use SOME type of transportation! I have to admit, it’s brilliant! Taga also won a Red Dot Design Award for their ingenuity. Child seating can be reclined for a sleeping little one, and there’s both a hood and rain guard for protection against the elements. Future options will include seating for two children, a car seat adapter, a cart mode, a wooden double seat and extra front-end protection. The Taga is available in stores throughout Europe and the UK, where pricing is GBP 1,695. It’s available in Red, Orange, Blue and Green! Sighghhh…… I have 7 words?? When is it coming to the US???? Whom am I kidding – I live so far away from civilization, this would only be useful for getting our daily mail! |
