everyone look at the beautiful poncho i just bought ds

[nappyaddict]

isn't it lovely

and it only cost £13.67 with shipping!!

[sammybeth]

omg youd put your child in that!!

[nappyaddict]

yes ... why not?

[CaptainFlameSparrowWifeOfJack]

I like it... but not for a boy, and not at that price

[KashaSarrasin]

I like it! (and DS1 has something similar )

[TheDevilWearsPrimark]

It's cute, but ponchos are pretty imparctical for tinies.

[sammybeth]

because for 1 you have a boy and 2 its awful. does anyone really wear ponchos any more?

[Miyazaki]

I love Etsy...

[seeker]

How old is ds?

[nappyaddict]

poncho's aren't just for girls. little boys can wear them too. i think they practical - no wrestling with arms, sleeves, buttons, toggles or zips. just throw it over their head and off we go.

i thought it was a good price

[nappyaddict]

he is 2.2

[Jennyusedtobepink]

It's certainly bright!

[TheDevilWearsPrimark]

It's too billowy if you want it to keep him warm, and will get in the way on slides/swings etc.

[CaptainFlameSparrowWifeOfJack]

I'm cheap

I've nothing against ponchos on boys, twas more the rainbow poncho, dunno why. Could be beacuse DS suits blues etc more so I automatically think no

[sammybeth]

no i suppose they arent but he will prob look a bit girly in it. My son loves rough and tumble and if he wore one would get tangled up in it!!

[CaptainFlameSparrowWifeOfJack]

DD suits blues too - not a boy thing, a colouring thing

[MasterBatesLePew]

My DDs school banned ponchos because you can't always put your hands out to break your fall.

[sammybeth]

But then i wouldnt dress him in girly clothes.

[nappyaddict]

it's for the preschool run in the morning when its not cold enough for a coat but there's a little bit of a chill. we don't go to the park much

[Miyazaki]

It is, especially as it's hand made and you know that the person who made it will get all the money.

[LoveMyGirls]

If you like it and he will wear it and it keeps him warm and makes you life easier then cool imo.

(slight hi-jack) NA - have you spoken to TWR today? Just wondering if she's ok. TIA

[geekgirl]

it's lovely

I love bright colours on little boys - there's far too much kaki and grey around imo.

[nappyaddict]

oh ds really suits oranges and yellows. i hardly buy him anything that doesn't have orange or yellow on it!!

[sammybeth]

my daughter had a poncho 4 years ago when she was 18 months and she hated wearing it as it restricted her movement

[nappyaddict]

thanks for the tip on falling over. i'll make sure he doesn't wear it when he will be running around. not that ds exactly runs
