Oh great, now we are going to have babies pooping and peeing all over the shopping cart seats. I'm sure those things are already filthy enough.
Too true. However, you haven't really parented unless you've changed a diarrhea-soaked diaper in an airplane toilet in turbulence. Talk about seperating the men from the boys!
. . .and will no doubt appeal to those 'Mom's; who are still nursing their 'yet-to-be-toilet-trained, three-year old. . .
Laugh or cry? I don't know.
We expect people to pick up after their dogs. Is it too much to expect people not to let their kids shit in the gutter?

I'd guess it's a direct descendant of the outhouse.

It'll be like going to PetsMart every day.
"The disposable diaper and the garage door opener are the two greatest inventions of the 20th century."
Two of three. The greatest invention was the coffee pot with the automatic timer.
Now, as to this article. Let's see, the enviro-nazis want us all to ride public transportation along with a bunch of diaperless babies?
The parents of a friend of mine once went to China. I can remember her father coming home none to pleased -- seems that diapers aren't used in China (or weren't used at the time).
This is typical nonsense of the left -- if someone in Europe or Asia or anywhere other than the U.S. does something, then it must be good. I don't mind embracing certain aspects of other cultures -- the food, for example -- but not something like this.
The idea is to revert to the state of the third world where there never have been diapers.
The absence of diapers is probably acceptable in semitropic and tropic third world where the practice is common, but where it is cold, the practice is untenable.
Growing up, my family didn't have a lot of money. My mother used cloth diapers on myslef and three siblings. When soiled, she washed them and then reused them. Messy...but saved money.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
Just wait 'til the "diaperless" crowd targets the restaurants. Will they suggest (no, demand) that the rest of us have to put up with their kid letting loose on the floor? Of course they will.
Holy crap these people are absolutely nuts!
You make an excellent point, maybe being completely toilet trained at one year of age (the goal of the mothers of the baby boom) is too early, but seeing four year olds in diapers is crazy. Maybe the eco-nuts should work on their liberal neighbors who don't bother to toilet train a child in the second year of life. That would reduce a LOT of diapers!
My first thought was... these are all people that probably DO NOT have children and have never had a baby.
That's what the left wants. There's too many people, donchaknow?
>>Actually if you look at the average age for toilet training it has increased over the past few decades. Kids used to toilet train before the age of two. Now kids four and older are wearing diapers.<<
Pull-Ups and working mother's are the cause.
My girls are seven and five. Both were trained at two. We went to "Betti Potty Camp". My oldest sister, who trained children almost 30 years ago, told me to come to her house with my oldest.
She said, no Pull-Ups (the child cannot feel when she is wet) and a potty ring, no potty seat. Every 15 minutes someone put my daughter on the potty. She was trained in 3 days and we were able to go shopping with no accidents within two weeks. Working mothers don't have the time to do this kind of training. Every working mother I know, sticks Pull-Ups on the child and tells the Daycare that they are in the middle of training.
Around about Kindergarten age, these kids have trained themselves.
Definitely one for your Just Damn list!
"Imagine eating at a restaurant while the mom at the next table is holding her baby over a bucket. Certainly adds to the ambiance!" jalisco555
"it's the women who change a baby's diaper RIGHT THERE in a restaurant who get me. And then they get naasty if you say anything to them." tiamat
And, just imagine how nasty they'd get if you were to light a cigarette spoiling their 'ambiance'.
