The Scoot-n-Swiff (patent pending)
This idea came to me while visiting my sister this weekend. A lot of kids were over for a party, and I saw how the toddlers loved these ride-on toys. I also noticed my sister needing to swiff a few times per day to de-crumb after the kids. Clearly today’s parents need a ride-on toy that accepts Swiffer attachments on the bottom so the kids naturally clean up after themselves.
On a related note, PlayPumps are a brilliant way to harness the raw energy of kids.
A similar idea is in the 99 Un-Useless Japanese Inventions book – the second Chindogu collection (book – http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0393317439/sr=8-3/qid=1147102564/ref=pd_bbs_3/102-7680232-5222565?%5Fencoding=UTF8)
