Outrage as US baby wig craze hits Britain

Celebrity wigs designed for babies up to nine months old and are set to hit the market, to the outrage of children's charities.

...Michelle Elliott of Kidscape said as well as unnecessary the wigs could be dangerous.

"Wigs are incredibly uncomfortable for a start. Babies are wonderful but dirty little things and the last thing they need is a wig."

The wigs are manufactured by California-based firm BabyToupee and cost £14.

The firm's website says its aim to "show that while parenting can be a great responsibility, it can also be a source of endless amusement."
