Everybody in finland?
- reidjs 5y agoOh I meant suggesting it in the United States. I feel like it would not go over well, unless of course you or your SO are from Finland!
- copo233 5y agoDefine "go over well."
- reidjs 5y agoI suspect they might take it as endangering the baby’s wellbeing to save a few bucks. The baby industry has got quite the stranglehold on some people.
- usrbinbash 5y agoWhat people "take it as", and what facts are, are sometimes 2 very different things. The baby box is a blessing for many families, and it's also much more than the box (which btw. is not a cheap piece of cardboard but comes complete with an insulated mattress and bedding made of high quality materials): there are clothes, diapers, hygienic goods, etc. And last but not least, it's also a strong symbolic gesture: Society saying: "Don't worry, we got your back. You're not alone, we are all in this together, and we help each other."
- boomboomsubban 5y agoIf you called it a disposable crib rather than a cardboard box I bet nobody would object.
- ddingus 5y agoApparently, from the discussion above, some bright bulbs here have banned the boxes, due to a lack of legs. Perhaps, the US version would need some nubs, or formed legs or other thing to come with the box... Frankly, when my spouse and I first heard about this, we thought the idea was fantastic.
