		<description>Of course it is.

&lt;i&gt;&#039;IRONIC: characterized by often poignant difference or incongruity between what is expected and what actually is&#039;&lt;/i&gt;

You&#039;ve openly declared you don&#039;t like kids and don&#039;t want to have them.  So, ipso facto, the purchasing of an item specifically designed for looking after children is therefore an unexpected incongruity of what would be expected.  

Quod erat demonstrandum, it is therefore ironic.  

It&#039;s more subtle than some forms of irony.

The fact that you&#039;re not using the item for it&#039;s designed purpose doesn&#039;t make it &#039;un-ironic&#039;.

Though, Paul&#039;s example is even better as the irony revolves around the item being used inappropriately for what it&#039;s been made for, while my comment revolves around the poignant difference of purchasing of a product designed for looking after something you plan never to have.
The emphasis is on what&#039;s beign considered ironic.  In Paul&#039;s case, it&#039;s the use.  In my case it&#039;s the purchase.

[If that makes sense].

&lt;strong&gt;Suanie:
no it is not&lt;/strong&gt;</description>
