• Krawlers: For All Those Pre-Prefontaines Out There

  It doesn't get much sportier than this track suit by Krawlers. The pants have built-in kneepads and the jacket has removable sleeves, just in case baby needs to flex. All that's missing is a headband and a pair of cross-trainers. Also available in green and pink. (Branding alert: The brand name is splashed big-time across the back of the jacket, so if you're wary of such displays...)   $35, Style Kid.   Posted Oct 02 2007, 10:00 AM by Leigh-Ann Jackson with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: kneepads, tracksuit, Style Kid, removable sleeves, Krawlers

• Knee Pads for Baby

  Okay, we've covered everything safety from Riot Helmets to Bulletproof Backpacks, but this set of kneepads for babies?  Hi parents, I'm here to tell you that babies are made of rubber.  Knee pads are about as necessary as tits on a bull. Nevertheless, I'm sure I'll get some overprotective freak parent commenting like they did on that Beat-my-kid-up-please-helmet, telling me how horrible I am for making fun of babies skinned knees.  Last I checked, no one put their babies on broken glass to crawl.  Wrap your kid up in COMMON SENSE, people. You want to blow 20 bucks?  Have at it.      Posted Sep 11 2007, 09:02 AM by Karen with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: safety, kneepads, overprotective

• The Babble Review: Silikids Kneepads

  Until they've learned to walk upright, your little crawler's commute can be a drag. Aside from the petri dish of nastiness their hands become on a regular basis, there's the quandary of those knocked-around knees — whether it's pants legs being rubbed into near-extinction or plump knees scratched to an uncomfortable redness. Kneepads by Silikids ($15 a pair) feature silicone disks to help protect those darling dimples from rug burns, splinters and such. We tested them on the chubbiest pair of baby legs we know to ensure a comfy fit, and they instantly inspired a spontaneous chorus of "Let's Get Physical" (until we remembered the adult themes of that song, at which point we switched to "What A Feeling."). Sure, you'll eventually lose them in the wash just as effortlessly as you lose your crawler's socks — but until then, you'll both enjoy the smoother sailing. — Leigh-Ann Jackson Posted Jul 17 2007, 10:11 AM by Gwynne Watkins with | with no comments Filed under: Babble Review, silikids, crawling, kneepads
