A brief rant:
I should very much like to punish whichever idiot in the fashion industry decided that my ladies' summer shorts would have no functioning pockets in them whatever, while my 8 month old daughter's summer shorts would have four. I can't carry so much as a folded banknote or a back-door key out with me without toting an accursed handbag (or more likely slinging a shopping bag over the handle of the pram) while the n00b is free to conceal as many choking hazards and suspicious excretions about her person as she pleases. Even assuming that the fashion industry (having a vested interest in my buying an accursed handbag) is deliberately denying me pockets to make more money, why give pockets to children less than a year old? They have nothing to put in them except everything that you don't want them to...
