I forgot about the baby "swings" and bouncy chairs, and those saucers they stand in and drool all over (I had all three of those devices back in the day). Yeah, babies get contained (but not crate trained)!

There's just not any point in living with that much poop. :) No, you can't put a baby in a crate, but there are pack and plays, and car seats. Not that I ever did that. For more than 10 minutes. :) <br /><br />On a related note, I've seen pics of me in a "play pen" when I was a baby. I think people crates might pre-date dog crates. Just not PC to crate your kid these days.

The only difference is that baby stuff gets labeled "play center," "interactive dome" or "brain building chair." I have recently seen babies bounced from being strapped into one device and trapped in another more than a dog goes from crate to leash! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14410993180658480326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616115718711383229.post-55618770677038752582015-04-02T04:17:32.711-07:002015-04-02T04:17:32.711-07:00What a great post!
