OPEN YOUR MIIIIIIIND.

Creepy as hell, don't think I'd let the wife wear one.

It also functions well for your undeveloped fetal twin.

It looks dangerous to the baby; and besides, you may offend kangaroos.

Makes you look like the gould thingys from Stargate. Without the gratuitous nudity.

Definitely Krang or Master Blaster. Or just a douchebag breeder.

This will be a huge hit with star wars nuts! Just imagine in a tan color. Its just like freezing your baby in carbonite on your chest!

"Open your mind, Quaid!"

That's totally a Kuato, and this is coming from someone who made a Kuato halloween costume a couple of years ago.

That is... unsettling.

Definately Quato. Before you even asked which we thought it looked more like, Quato came to miiiiiind.

That's just wrong.

WRONG WRONG WRONG

@RobThy: Make it Taun-Taun Pattern. You then have baby Luke!

I could, however, see my wife wearing one of these with her Boston Terrier's head poking out of it though.

OK, I see many more head injuries for these children than others. Such hazards include bending over for things and hitting baby's head, bringing something to your mouth and hitting baby's head, and drinking something(hopefully not HOT) and spilling it on baby's head. Unless it's NOMEX.

Ah, trick question!

It doesn't make you look like Quato; it makes your baby look like Quato.

I thought the dog snuggie was bad enough.. but this is just horrible!

E. Stupid

WTF?

that's just awesome :)

I vote "a Teletubby."

Or a mutant kangaroo.

@Princess Sparkle Pony: Excellent point, it makes you look like Marshall Bell.

Aww what a cute little chest burster

@nonpareil: That's very liberal and tolerant of you to say.

Scarriest. Thing. Ever.

I think my stomach just flipped a little. This is so disturbing on so many levels.

@Kimaroo - 20% More Kitty Added!: In case you were wondering what I meant by "kimaroo - the mutant kitty" :P

[Kidding Kidding]

Definately looks like Quatro to me. Or maybe a mutant Telletubby?

Imagine the struggle to take that thing off right after the baby fills the diaper!

I gotta go with Quato as well. Now get your ass to Mars!

All I know is I would never wear one or buy one for anyone I like.

Attention Emergency Rooms; Child Heat Stroke events will be on the increase from feeble minded moms who wear the Peekaru and fail to properly monitor their child's core body temperature.

@nonpareil: Thats a gay comment.

sorry had to.

I went to the Peekaru website-- after reading the post.

At the bottom of of the of pages it says:
"Harriet Tubman: Born into slavery, Harriet escaped to freedom and became a conductor on the Underground Railroad. During her life, she helped free over 300 slaves, was a soldier, a spy and a nurse during the civil war. With her free hands, Harriet Tubman worked closely with Abolitionists to end slavery.

What will you do with your free hands?"

--These types of freedom just don't compare.

click thru to see the photos on the product site. there is one where the baby looks like it's thinking "seriously, she paid $80 for this?"

@dreamsneverend: While normally the phrase "let the wife" would provoke a snide comment from me, this time, I think it may be justified.

@nonpareil: *|SHAKES_FIST|*

@selianth: I concur. In fact, this post is missing the WTF tag.

If you put your pet in there, does the universe explode?

Well, at least I know where the lawyer character from "The Trial of The Monarch" came from.

I'm not sure I'm happy I know...

I think the best part is that there's no way for the baby to move under there, and therefore no chance for it to do something harmful

@The Porkchop Express: That is so "The Porkchop Express (blank userpic)" of you.

THE TABLES HAVE TURNED

This looks to be a great alternative to wearing a tool belt. Next time I'm working in the garage, I'll wear a Peekaru and store all my tools inside for easy access.

And don't forget this little fella from Spaceballs:

@ellemm: @Illegitimae non Carborundum: See, this is why the product exceeds all others. The Snuggie never claimed to fight slavery, or cure social ills unrelated to warmth.

@GitEmSteveDave'sAPeacefulMandalorian: Not any worse than a Baby Bjorn [www.babybjorn.com]

Does it come in green? If so, I am going to find myself an infant and go dressed as a giant killer peapod this halloween [www.amazon.com]

@Smashville:
+1

Anyone have a screen still from that x-files episode that can be added to this article? I can't believe that one was left out.

(The only use I can see for this product is if your awesome yet slightly disturbed wife (or perhaps, awesome or slightly disturbed husband for that matter,) wanted to dress as one of these mentioned characters for Halloween. That would be great...)

Now we need someone with twins to load them up side by side. "So how are the twins doing today?" "A little sore....oh you mean the babies!"

@StanTheManDean: Not any worse than the parents who feel it is necessary to dress a child in sweatpants, a long sleeve shirt and a sweater, and then place them in a snowsuit with a hat and hood and mittens on them and place 2 blankets over their body, and another over their infant carrier when it is 45 degrees out and proceed to leave the child that way while walking through a hot mall all afternoon.

This at least has the advantage that the parent and the child are both wearing the "coat" so if mom gets hot she will hopefully remove it to cool herself down (and therefore allow the baby to cool down.

Note to all new parents. Dress your child as you would dress yourself. If you are hot, the baby is probably hot, if you are cold, the baby is probably cold. The only additional thing that babies need is something to protect them from harsh winds in the winter time. Throw a blanket over their exposed skin while you are walking through the parking lot, and remove it when you are indoors.

@Rachacha: No, that's different. The child is FACING you. In this you're hitting things face on.
