The Latest Fashion Accessory: Babies

Sure, it's something the Swedes figured out a long time ago, but carrying around a baby, arms-free, is a fresh delight for all new parents. It's like seeing the sun rise for the first time.

Um, wave to your wife as she takes a picture. (Hey, you've gotta start somewhere.)



Let daddy have a refreshing beverage from his bottle.



Have the little one fall asleep without your arms falling asleep.



Get in some pre-baby-type recreation--all without exposing her to the video violence taking place on the TV.
