DADS GADGETS
SCOOBA
Get rid of the mop and bucket and let a robot clean the floor for you.
This brilliant invention uses sensors to navigate itself around the floor and will wash, scrub and dry tile, linoleum and sealed hardwood floors. Not only will this robot clean the floor for you, so that you don't have to, it will probably keep the children entertained while it does it too as they will love watching it scoot around.
A fantastic gadget for those that hate mopping, or even worse scrubbiing on hands and knees, those hard floors and let's be honest, that's just about all of us isn't it.
TVR TUSCAN CAR MOUSE
Surfing the net or doing some work on the PC will never be dull again if you are using this cool optical mouse
Complete with blue LED lights, chrome effect wheels and taillights this great looking car is a fully functioning 3-button mouse with a scroll-wheel. Officially licensed by the kings of car design this will look the business on any desktop and leave you wishing that you could afford the real thing.
MAMA BOARD
Fed up of walking and pushing the buggy around , well now you don't have to.
This ingenious skateboard attaches to the back of the pushchair so you can skate along and push the buggy at the same time. It even has it's own brakes so going downhill need not be a harrowing experience. Invented by a German company this board is great for all dads who like keeping fit, or who are always running late, and will give the children a fun and speedy ride too.
The only disadvantages are that if you have older children you may not get a look in on the board. Also they will have to change 'that name' for it to be acceped by the majority of dads. How about calling it 'Parent Board' or 'Skater Dad's Board'?
WHEEL OF RESPONSIBILITY
It's 3AM and the baby is crying. "Go on, it's your turn to see to the baby". "No I did it last time it's definately your turn". Sound familiar?
If it does then maybe you need the wheel of responsibility. This simple yet ingenius device will decide for you whose turn it is to do those unpleasant, but neccessary jobs. Just spin the wheel and see where the pointer lands.
Can be used to assign many different jobs to one partner or another fairly, decisively and without any reasons for sulking, tantrums and divorce courts.
PHILIPS SOS ADRESS RECORDER
Security of children is a major issue and in a crowded town or city it's quite easy for a young child to get lost
This neat gadget allows you to digitally record a message onto it with vital information in case your child goes missing, such as your surname, address, mobile phone number, etc.
It's designed to be comfortable to wear and is safe for children to play with and it is supposed to be child-tamper proof, so that your little ones will not be able to erase your messages. A nice idea and a bit better looking than some of those wristbands, anything that can help with the safety of your children has got to be worth considering.
DISCO DUCKS
These mini disco ducks are so cute and funky.
Each duck has two sensors on their base which, when touched or placed in water, start of a sequence of flashing LED's that fade through various colours. The kids will love playing with these and will be transfixed by the colours.
A great alternative to the traditional, boring plastic duck which will light up your bathroom.
