Top “Strange” Baby Trends List
June 23rd 2008 by Dr.MOZ in Baby Shoes, Diaper Bags, Strange Products
Trend Hunter’s “Top 30 Baby Trends” list of 2008 is out, so I thought I’d “share the crazy” because it really is a bizarre collection of trends and products. Sure…it’s
a little odd to post a “years best” list this early in the year, but it’s an odd list so you’ll probably forget that it’s June when reading about pregnant men.
Trend Hunter covers what could be described as extreme themes and products (not always family/work friendly content), so consider that your warning before following the links. I’ve covered a few trends mentioned in their list in past posts, but here’s a few from Trend Hunter’s top 30 baby trends that I didn’t know about:
- Giant Gurgle (World’s First Baby Rollercoaster): The Alton Towers theme pack located in Staffordshire, England is working on the world’s first baby rollercoaster being called Giant Gurgle. Babies six-months-old and up will soon be able to enjoy the 2 mph trek which lasts just over a minute. The ride is surrounded by a path allowing new parents to stroll along side their thrill-seeking infants.
- Wranglers (for Babies): I’m not sure how I missed the release of this product, but apparently Wrangler sells canvas diaper covers. Your little buckaroo will fit right in at the next rodeo thanks to the authentic back pockets and Wrangler patch!
- Her First High Heels (Heelarious): If you’re looking for a gag-gift for an upcoming baby shower, I think a pair of these baby heels would be perfect if the mom on your gift list was a shoe freak. These soft, baby-friendly shoes come in 0-6 months.
That’s your healthy dose of fun for this Monday baby fans! Click on the comments bubble above to share a bizarre baby-related trend or product of your own.
Have fun and stay healthy,

Ooooh! High heels. Wanna try that if I have a baby girl.

That’s the strangest baby collection I’ve ever seen indeed! I’m a little shocked by the high heels:)

Next thing you know our kids will have cell phones before they can speak. Great post. I wonder if I was so trendy when I was a baby.

Oh, the high heels are just awful! What a terrible idea. But the Wrangler diaper covers are adorable … I really like those.
I took a look at the TrendHunter article, and you (wisely I think) shied away from a couple of items that were just revolting! Human breast milk cheese? Eeewwwhhh!

The baby heels really are shockers eh? The “heels” are soft foam (not actual heels), so don’t let the appearance fool you.

Heels are shockers? I love them!
When you get past the reality that they’re not intended for pure use, it’s they’re hilarious (or ‘Heelarious’…).

how interesting!

I would never put something like this on my baby. I realize it’s as a lark but I still would not put high heels on her. I can see moms doing this to these babies thinking it’s cute.

Don’t think so the high heel suite for baby…accept they are 5 to 6 years old. Just my opinion. Thanks

0-6 months wearing high heels? I doubt it is good for their feet. Generally it isn’t a good idea to beautify babies.

Forget about the high heels … what about the Wrangler diaper covers – who wants to see a baby in denim daisy dukes?!?

I can not beleive the heels are for real! Don’t babies have enough of a challenge just in the walking!

Very funny and original !

What’s next short shorts? How about spandex? This is crazy!

Definitely different trends! I read the post about human breast milk cheese – disgusting! :0 The high heels are a bit much too. I would never put my baby girl in something like that even for a joke probably.
