WTF (potentially upsetting photo)

[Wellthisunexpected]

This came up on an advert for wish on Facebook.

AIBU to think wtf?

Apart from the kids was crack, it's basically a firm fannypack that they sit on when you're carrying them on your hip so they don't slip, I have one from etsy and it actually saves my back a bit when dd decides it's a being a limpet day

I had one of those for DD when small, it was an absolute godsend for my knackered back. Puts the weight all into your legs. I highly recommend

What @smiler1972 said.

It’s basically ‘elimination communication’.

I lived in China and most toddler clothes are split as they stop wearing nappies very young.

Oh you learn something new everyday!

I really wanted that to be a potty/bum bag hybrid.

Those saying why is it potentially upsetting, there was a thread on here a while ago with a picture of a kid in a nappy and people went crazy about how it was abusive, upsetting and wrong-headed I didn't agree but I wanted to warn those of a sensitive disposition.

Didn't see the other thread.

They’re Chinese potty training pants.

cant see an issue?

It’s an odd photo but “potentially upsetting”? Really? My sons always got his arse out, I’m not in need of therapy because of it (yet ).

It's a hip seat. It makes carrying toddlers much easier. I used one a lot when my backnowledged was bad and I had a baby.

Ok, fair enough. I have a seat like this and it was fantastic. I have a bad back and couldn't get on with a sling. Strapped round my hips it put my DC's weight in exactly the right place. Hippy chick hipseat.

I don't want to be unkind but you must be of an extraordinarily delicate disposition if a toddler's bum is upsetting

Cultural differences, eh? What's weird to us is normal to others, that's just the way the world is!

That is such a good idea actually. I wish I'd had one when DD was little.

I have seen this ad and yes that is a bare bottom - pretty sure they are the split trousers that are found in China, more of a custom in rural villages and be coming rarer since China allowed the sale of disposable nappies

@MyOtherUsernameisaPun I don't find it upsetting. But some people are weird. I did 8 years in child protection, not much upsets me.

Surely it’s a strap

I had to brace myself for this thinking 'oh god, not some child or animal in some terrible situation, shall I look or not?'

I was exactly the same

Why is this so funny?!

It’s a hippy chic type seat, plus naked toddler arse. It’d make me do a double take, but I’d have known it was normal in China.

Ehhhhhhhh?

It’s a strap, you can see the woman holding it.

Look up en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-crotch_pants - it's the same thing. A good idea really, lets them just do a quick wee somewhere discreetly.

Good grief. Give me strength. Why is everyone so sensitive ?

Split trousers are standard in Chinese society.

You can let go of those pearls now
