  What a great program/idea. It is so important that children have warm clothes ... I also think the condom part is funny! hahaha. 

  
  

  It is interesting that they use mostly/all Finnish products. It would be so expensive to do that box for women in the US with all American made products!

  I've heard of this before.  It's awesome.  @Di_126, I think you're right about the "happiest country" thing, I feel like I've heard that Finland is pretty high on that list, too.
  
  ETA: I googled and found this list of the 10 happiest countries.  It's interesting to me that so many of them are practically or partially arctic: Denmark, Norway, The Netherlands, Sweden Canada, Finland, Iceland . . . I don't know what that means or how to interpret it, but it's interesting.

  I think its cool that the box can be used as a bed.  It ensures that the baby has a safe place to sleep.  Much better than the dresser drawer that my mom used to put me and my sister in!

  Haha I was a dresser drawer baby too! My dad was a single dad and didn't have anywhere for me to sleep so he put blankets in the dresser drawer until he could afford a crib
