Honestly?
We have 3 of three and under and there is no way I would wear that, I carry a record bag with all the stuff for them in.

Thanks

actually i consider it an artform, managing to carry as small a bag as poss... but still have everything that anyone might possibly need/want at any time in any scenario even tenuously possible...

re-reading; you wouldnt wear it coz it looks like shit? or b/c of capacity issues?

LOLOLOLO
imagine if you had to carry a dirty nappy until you found a bin - in your pocket
Or a leaky bottle - nice.

Another vote for the "got to be kidding" camp here, I'm afraid. It was a small rucksack all the way when mine were babies and toddlers.

think it's a fab idea - everything to hand - especially when travelling and have to go to change little one.

My Dh says he would wear it becuase it would make life so much easier [scoff].

Yeh only because I would have to put everything in it for him and tell him what to do and when to do it.

But he said he would wear it instead of carrying a backback or other kind of bag...

I have my doubts .

Thanks

well thats what its sold as; a bag for blokes who dont wanna carry a bag...

and i can see the point of that

with all that bulky stuff in the pockets, though, the 'line' would be ruined... not gonna win any style prizes, nor do much for ones sillhouette (sp) methinks

LOL

I'm loving the arrow pointing out that a pocket low down on the "vest" can be used for either additional storage or for "hands"

One is assuming that it is the wearer's hands and not some bizarre receptical for severed hands you may find whilst out on your travels???

Maybe it invites groping???

Let's face it, anything called a vest that does not go beneath clothing belongs on someone over the age of 70. Enough said.
