Don't Try This At Home

With recent discussions about child safety on TooManyCooks (i.e. babies eating poinsettias and trolling around in out-dated walkers), we decided to throw in our observations about babies from the perspective of a Korean, or rather the perspective of two Canadians who raise their eyebrows when they see some of the Korean child-rearing methods. There are some strollers here, but most babies are carried around this way:
It's basically a baby wrapped in a blanket and then tied to the mother's back with a housecoat belt. Stick him in the walker if you must, but think again before trying this with Liam. We see it everywhere and haven't seen any mishaps yet (if a dropped baby can be classified as a mishap rather than a tragedy) but we are having a hard time convincing ourselves that it's a safe way to carry a baby. Don't even ask if they have baby car seats over here.
