Platinum Babies (WE)

This decidedly materialistic series is full of mixed and often troubling messages. While the expecting parents are clearly excited about their babies, positive messages about parenthood are lost among the flood of luxury items and lavish parties. Meanwhile, the endless parade of experts gloating over the quality and cost of high-end baby accessories seem like they're trying to sell a lifestyle rather than focusing on what's best for the child.

Kids probably won't be too interested in Platinum Babies, but some parents-to-be may find some of the featured products, services, and tips helpful as they prepare for their baby’s arrival. Other viewers may simply find the whole idea of spending a king’s ransom on something like a custom-made potty entertaining. But in the end, revealing the expensive price tag for every newly purchased item and service just seems kind of tacky.
