Baby Evacuation Aprons
Today I learned about evacuation aprons, which places like maternity wards use to rescue infants and toddlers in case of emergency or fire. Or as this labor & delivery nurse on Threads put it:
…the goal is to grab your vest and just stuff as many babies as humanly possible in its giant kangaroo pockets before running out the door.
This particular company sells a few different models, like this apron for newborns and this one for larger infants and toddlers that can carry a total weight of 60 lbs. All the aprons are fire-resistant.
There is also something called the Med Sled, which can carry up to 6 infants at a time.

This reminds me of the special saddles worn by donkey nannies carrying newborn lambs down from the highlands to the plains.
I read that as “Mad Sled”, and then realized my error and still think my name’s better.
