Nobody puts Baby in a box

God bless Ikea.  It’s not really the job of a furniture store to offer practical parenting advice, but they’re doing it anyway.  Do not put your baby inside a plastic box and close the lid.

Interestingly, this label – officially my favourite warning label ever – only appears on the storage boxes that are large enough to actually fit a small child.  Or The Amazing Yen.

I thought maybe it was a Swedish thing, and that there might actually be a type of plastic box that can be used to store babies.  A way to flat-pack your family, for a quiet night in or for hibernation during the cold, dark winter.  But alas Google couldn’t shed any light on this: baby storage box only finds containers for the kid’s stuff, not the kid itself.

So there must be a gruesome back story, surely?
