Les Jones: Rhetorical Question About Baby Furniture

Home Life > Rhetorical Question About Baby Furniture

There are these things called babies. Babies have this stuff called furniture. Stay with me for a minute.

As babies get older they tend to get into things - drawers, cabinets, and the like. So you have to baby-proof the baby furniture's drawers and cabinets with little latches and plastic doo-dads, many of which don't work well, are a pain to use, and require drilling holes in the furniture.

Question: why doesn't baby furniture come baby-proofed from the factory???

Sounds like another "million dollar idea" opportunity.

Man, where were you with this idea 3 years ago when we were purchasing baby furniture.

It seems surefire, doesn't it? For instance, I'm thinking of a hidden locking bar in the chest of drawers. Flip a lever or turn a dial and the drawers lock. Simple, effective, and it doesn't clutter up the furniture with geegaws.
