[quote=Anonymous]Expensive but tiny strollers. The BabyZen Yo-Yo is the main one that comes to mind but there are others. The idea of spending $600 on a tiny stroller so that you can carry it on planes is insane to me. There are less expensive travel strollers, or you could just gate check a normal size stroller.

Sophie (seconded). It's a $20 teething toy. Also, for years the Sophies would wind up filled with mold because they weren't airtight and baby drool would get inside and then, mold. They fixed the problem so the newer ones shouldn't do this but still -- gross.

All designer baby clothes. I'm talking specifically about like Kate Spade baby dresses. That stuff is so expensive and is often really inappropriate for children -- stiff fabric, inconvenient lengths, etc. I get people often get these outfits from grandparents or friends, so you maybe throw the kid in it for photos. But I am judged of people who buy it themselves.

Looking at this list, I'm realizing I sound super judged of rich people, which is funny because I'm pretty rich. But I think I just hate trendy status stuff. Money is GREAT, but spend it on things that are actually useful/attractive, not just on whatever all the other rich people are buying.[/quote]
