New Twist On Kids’ Business

Boston Globe:

Technically speaking, they weren’t quite bellied up to the bar. At an average of about 2 feet tall, the miniature club kids perched on snakeskin barstools at the Revolution Rock Bar could barely reach their juice boxes.

The Revolution Rock, typically frequented by an after-work crowd of full-grown singles, was transformed for a few daytime hours on Sunday into a romper room for cooped-up parents and their crazy-legged toddlers. With bubble machines, hula hoops, and classic soul and disco tracks pumping over the sound system at 110 beats a minute, it was a Studio 54 for kids still learning to count to five.

The event was the Boston kickoff of Baby Loves Disco, a fast-growing national network of monthly outings that sanitize the nightclub setting for the day-care crowd. Judging by Sunday’s Oreo-smeared grins and temporarily tattooed limbs, by the end of the afternoon the first local participants were ready for a hard-earned bubble bath.
