MP3 Players in baby gear?

Not to offend anyone who uses them, but I have seen cribs, playpens, even bassinet and strollers for sale recently, with mp3 ports in them. I couldn't help but LOL at the idea of my baby jammin' out to an mp3 player.

I know it's just a new method of playing music, but technology has gotten way ahead of me, and when I saw those, I started to feel the first twinges of the generation gap between my sons and I.

I felt OLD. I don't even know how to use an mp3 player!

Anyone else feel the same way?

Baby gear from our infancy looks like crap compared to todays stuff, but todays items are also a bit unnecessary. I think it's a bit up and beyond to put mp3 players in baby gear... Well.. other then the jogging stroller i have, which is just speakers to connect to an MP3/cd player. I'm going to try to justify the stroller's MP3 player hook up.. This way, when you are out and about on a walk, mom doent have head phones in listening to music, while pushing baby, and possibly not hearing traffic or baby. I think it just makes is more enjoyable for both mom and baby.
But, to have a built in MP3 on a child's toy, crib, or playpen, i think that's way over and beyond necessary. I'd opt to skip on that product. I just think it's a waste of money to purchase an item other then a stroller... (i'm guilty!)
