Skid shoes
Teflon skids on your child's shoes allow you to drag them along | |
Ever seen a small child get stubborn and refuse to move? Or just too tired to walk further in the mall/airport etc.?
Picking them up is one solution but can be tiresome too.
This idea is a pair of retractable teflon skids in the sole of the shoes. Perhaps a strap on shoe accessory. A tiny motor
turns a cam that extends the skids so the wearer can skid along like skiis or like they were wearing nylon socks on a vinyl floor. Combine this with a harness/leash and a remote control in your pocket to put the child on the skids anytime you need. Presto! Total control! (Well some control.)

add a harness and go to the mall, see how far you get before someone calls Social Services. [dentworth, Oct 21 2004]

I doubt teflon'd last long being dragged over a floor, retractable roller skates would probably work better. though I believe they're already baked. I'm sure the child would probably just sit down anyway. |

In which case, there should be wheels on the seat of his pants, too. |

Good luck making them retractable, ouch! |

While this is creative thinking, there are some other more funderful ways to skid across a floor. I believed in carrying a sturdy stroller for kids up to age 4, because that seemed to be the age at which they would crap-out when it was most inconvenient. |

Further, Americans don't take kindly to harnesses on children, no matter how sensible it may seem to be. |

//Americans don't take kindly to harnesses on children// Tell them you are training the kid to wear a safety belt. |
