A US company is combining
babygrows with mops so that babies can polish the floor as they learn to crawl.
Website BetterThanPants.com is hoping to clean up with its £25 invention which
it calls the Baby Mop.
Inspired by a spoof Japanese
advert for a similar invention, it promises to “teach your baby a strong work
ethic early on in their life”. And it adds that the baby “will get a nice
workout, burn off energy, and do muscle toning. And sleep better too.” Mike
Parker from BetterThanPants.com said: “We have sold about 100 in just one month
since adding it to our site. “So far all the feedback from customers has been
very positive, however we get some negative emails surrounding the idea of the
actual product.
“The idea formed to make the
actual product from a Japanese commercial on the web. “I believe the idea was
submitted as part of a contest on ridiculous inventions in Japan but was never actually sold
anywhere.
