My UO's:
1. I hate when I hear a parent say they are "babysitting" their child- um, no, it isn't called babysitting, it's called parenting.
2. In public: Whether your child is walking or not, I do not think shoes are needed on them unless they are going to be on the floor. If they are just going from the carseat to the stroller or carrier- why do they have to have shoes on?
