OMG CREEPY

June 19th, 2008 by rachel

I know this is quite a bit more trivial than most of the posts we’ve put up so far, but I just had to inflict this creepiness on others. Now, I try to be as open-minded as possible, and I will acknowledge that there might be a very small number of parents for whom this product fills an essential need. I still maintain that it looks as creepy as all get out: The Zaky Infant Pillow.

The headline on the web site boasts: “It’s like leaving a part of you with your baby!” Because that’s what any baby truly needs — just some disembodied portion of a stuffed parent. I was hoping there was a variety pack, so you could leave your hands one day, your feet the next, maybe your kneecaps another, but it seems as though they haven’t started thinking outside the box like that yet.
