A new store targeted at adults who want to dress like babies, is causing a stir in the suburbs of Chicago.

Tykables, which recently opened in Mount Prospect, Ill., caters to adults who want to go back to the simplicity of childhood, according to the store's website.

“Each product we create, every event that we do, and every day of our lives we strive to express the innocence of childhood back to our adult lives,” the store says online.

The store sells adult-sized diapers, and offers “discreet boxes” for shipping, “which do not say Tykables or Diapers.” While the store has an adult-size crib, rocking chair and other toys, only adults can use the facility, John-Michael Williams, who opened the store in April, told WGN-TV.

Earlier this week at a Mount Prospect village board meeting, dozens expressed worry over whether the store will affect property values or inadvertently attract children from a nearby school, AP reported.

"I think the biggest concerns come from people who don't understand our business and what we do," Williams told WGN-TV, noting that the majority of his business is done online.

Mount Prospect Mayor Arlene Juracek said that despite backlash from some community members, the store is not breaking any laws..

“When you look at the codes and all the definitions, there's nothing pornographic about it, there's nothing that would violate any sense of decency,” Mount Prospect Mayor Arlene Juracek told WGN-TV.
