Well maybe this Examiner is old fashioned. I think children should learn to swim as early as possible but  roller skating - well it seems to me that since their little feet are still growing the safety of the sport may be in question.

There are baby ice skates made which you can see http://www.babyskates.com/.

Getting children into any sport leads to the chance that they will be active, healthy, young people and go on to continue with some fitness routine. I haven't seen any studies to see what the long term effects of putting babies on skates are.

In spite of my cynicism Evian Water has ads that some feel are funny. If you watch them they really are cute. Obviously the babies aren't doing the stunts but still I wonder if some parents will be putting babies in skates. There's something about this that doesn't strike me as alright.

Evian has people talking so from a marketing perspective it is a brilliant ad campaign.
