Baby Warmers

There are fashion trends that make sense and some that don’t.

I’m confident that the jegging, skinny jean, and character t-shirt will never become a staple of my closet.

But now I’ve discovered leg warmers for babies.  What?!

With all the research I’ve done in cloth diapers I’ve come across many, many variations of the 80s legwarmer, special for the infants.

The websites tout that they keep the baby warm (undoubtably true), protect from scratches when they’re crawling (again, true, true) and spice things up as a fashion accessory (um, not so sure about that one).

What’s wrong with a pair of knit pants?  Can someone explain the need for baby legwarmers?
