baby knee pads, worth it?

[melbrodhi]

hey if you are interested, after some research, easy to make yourself. just take some old thick baby socks, cut the toes out of them, pull them up over their knees, and presto!

IMO baby knee pads are a clever marketing ploy - talk about creating a "need" to seel a product LOL!!!

I don't have any but I think they would come in handy for nappy free time, so bare skin isn't being rubbed raw. Leg warmers are probably a more versatile alternative. I've been looking for them everywhere.

I have seen the babylegs but thought they might be a bit thin, he still gets red knees from wearing his thin pants and the ones I saw weren't much thicker. The other thing was do they fall down as he's crawling around or do they stay up pretty well?
I guess at $15 it might be worth a go, I'm a bit worried about it with summer coming up...

The only ones that fall down here are huggalugs, they seem to be smaller, so fall down on DD2's chubby thighs. Baby legs are normally fine though?

Thank's Arimeh's Eden, I'll see if I can convince DF to let me get some, I can feel another obsession coming on. Lol.

DS has crawled over tiles, carpet, grass etc etc and has never had a need for knee pads. Although when i used to try and get on the floor and crawl around with ds i was in so much pain. Their little knees are made for crawling! Definately a clever marketing ploy.
