Somebody did refer to a stairgate on a toddler's bedroom door as imprisoning them.

I thought I'd read all the posts - I must have missed that one. Imprisoning - or protecting. I just have this born free picture in my head for some reason.

You walked 7 miles? I would have worn a sign, and been really peeved if I had been looked at or commented on because I used a pram.

Only twice. I didn't go back to that group, it was a bit too posh for me :rotfl: I found one a mile from home instead, but I still took the pram because although he'd walk there, it would be almost nap time when it finished so he wouldn't want to walk all the way home, and it was handy for carrying shopping home

i think they are brilliant, my parents used them with me and i use them with my nieces and nephews
so many different varieties available and its great to give the kids freedom plus they are kept safe

I wonder if those people who compare reigns to dog leads - whether they'd say using a cot was like an animal cage or prison - I mean you're effectively putting your baby behind bars

I once saw a lady at a dog show and she had her 2 little dogs in a pushchair! She was feeding them yoghurt like babies - it did look quite funny.

I call the playpen a baby cage, the crib is the dog basket and the backpack with walking rein is the baby lead.. doesn't stop me using them though. I realise they keep my child safe so what is in a name?!

I do think sometimes mine need to be in a dog crate!!!

I know a couple of extreme babywearing advocates (I'd possibly be using other terminology to describe them if I was being unkind) who refer to pushchairs as "baby prisons on wheels"... also traditional weaning with purees and spoons and all that lark as "forcing food down your baby's throat"

There is no limit to the lunacy of the parental-oneupwomanship competition if you delve deeply enough.

You're setting the bar pretty high there if something has to date back to prehistory in order to be considered a tradition!

I suppose so.

But fact is that the puree weaning process is relatively new considering how long humans have been having babies.
