I really wish that the babies in TS4 were more like the ones in TS2, with the added option of traits + pushchair like in TS3. Being able to interact with the baby, walk around with them, take them out in a stroller, bathe them in a sink etc. would be so amazing to me.
The life stage doesn't have to be long, just like it wasn't very long in TS2, but it has so much potential to be more than what it is. I'd love to see the return of The Bouncinator 3000 and The DangleMaster Deluxe. I also read elsewhere about the option to 'change clothes' with a choice of selected preset clothing and that sounds really great too. It'd also be nice to reintroduce changing tables, have a better selection of bedding etc.
In general I feel that the babies-children life stages are still very underdeveloped and lacking in basic things, like interactions with other sims that are their age or younger/older. Even the teens-adult life stages don't feel incredibly distinguished from one another - perhaps a School and/or University EP will help with the teen or young adult stages.
Either way, the babies deserve better - I hope one day they will be freed, lest they get bedsores.
