About
The Baby Borrowers is an American version of the The Baby Borrowers reality television show based on the British television series of the same name originally aired in 2007. The show features five couples aged between 18 and 20 who either believe that being parents is easy, or are divided upon the issue. They start off attempting to look after a baby for three days, before moving onto toddlers, pre-teens, teenagers and finally an elderly person.
The show is produced by Love Productions, the same company that produces the original British version.
On March 13, 2009, it was confirmed that the series had been canceled and would not be returning for a second season.
