Insanely Expensive Baby Gear
I’m such a committed Target shopper (I’m in good company — hey, Mrs. Jackson!) that anytime my kids get something from Babies R Us or Children’s Place or the pinnacle of fancy, BabyGap, I feel this much closer to Jennifer Garner.
Turns out, my version of baby haute couture is basically a bag of hand-me-down rags compared to the actual haute couture that’s out there for babies. Riches! Oh, how they’re wasted on the rich!
Styleite has compiled a list of 11 of the most expensive things you can buy for babies. Not included: a good reason to actually buy them.
A sampling:
The pictured (fetish-y looking) shearling baby papoose. At $550, it takes the edge off having overspent on a Baby Bjorn and days-of-the-week silk mei tai wraps.
An infant gift set: a long-sleeve onesie, hat and plastic bottle. In a Christian Dior box. $200.
Even the super-rich will have some buyer’s remorse when their little princess spends all of five minutes in a $75,000 carriage.
And oh, so many more (an $8,500 baseball glove?).

How, When Autism Symptoms Appear Linked to Severity | Strollerderby commented on Apr 22 10 at 9:00 amMeghan commented on Apr 21 10 at 2:43 pmThe list is crazy, but I must admit that I do lust after the PBK wooden play kitchen. In red. If money were no object, then it would already be set up in the basement.
Melanie commented on Apr 21 10 at 4:30 pmDitto on that play kitchen. Or the PBK gourmet play kitchen. I’d be tempted to trade my actual kitchen for that one. But the Inglesina pram mentioned in the article? Pocket change compared to traditional Silver Cross prams.
