The Mommy I’m Here Child Locator

    mommy-b001m9ndwa-1-lg

    Attempting to keep track of an active toddler is never an easy task.  Even for the most careful parent out there, it’s possible to lose track of them quickly, which can be nerve wrecking.  You could also think you lost them, when in reality they’re just right behind you.  With this little bear, you’d know that they’re always within 25 feet of you.  It’s a two part device, the bear stays on the child and you have another half that stays on you.  That makes it so that you know they’re still within a safe distance.

    The bad thing is that 25 feet isn’t actually all that much range.  If you’re in a big open park, you’d have to stay close to your child, despite that you’re in an area that they’d be safe to run.  It would be nice if you could adjust the distance your child can be from you.  When they do get outside that range, it gives a chirping type noise through your receiver to let you know.  You can then activate the 86-decibel alarm on the child so that you can blow their eardrums find them quickly.  The set will cost you $34.99 on Amazon.

The Oreck Halo comes with a UV-C germ killing light

    oreck-halo-germ-killing-vacuum-housewares

    Although it might seem like having a vacuum that sanitizes the floor is going a little over the top, I can understand the logic behind it.  After all, you track in all kinds of things from the outdoors onto your floor.  Then if you have kids, you have a whole different set of issues.  Let’s face it, kids are just plain dirty.  They bring in germs from other kids and then get the rest of the family sick.  Plus if you have extremely young kids, they might enjoy playing on the floor, which puts them in direct contact with a very dirty area.

    The UV light has been proven to reduce up to 99.9% of the bacteria and up to 90% of dust mite eggs.  Then it also kills a lot of microscopic germs like flea eggs, lice and mold.  You could use it not only on the carpet, but in areas with hardwood or linoleum to get it sanitized.  It’d be great to do a quick swipe of the kitchen with, just to make sure that everything is staying clean.  The vacuum comes with a 5 year warranty and 3 annual tune ups.  Which is good, since this vacuum is definitely not cheap.  You can purchase it for $599.95.

The Juice Bag Solar Beach Tote

    solar-beach-tote

    Now that weather is nice and warm outside, spending a day at the beach might be nice.  If you live close to one and are out there on a regular basis, you might want to check out this bag to take with you.  It’ll hold all of your necessary beach essentials, all the while giving your technology a little boost.  After all, spending all that time at the beach might drain your battery and give you little opportunity to charge your phone or iPod again.  You might as well invest in a way to charge your gadgets while you’re on the go.

    This would be especially great if you enjoy laying out in the sun and playing your iPod while you’re out.  Eventually, it’s going to go dead, so instead of giving up on your music, just plug it into this solar bag and you’ll be ready to go again.  Of course you’ll have to wait a little while for that to happen.  Specifically, you’ll have to wait about 2-4 hours of charging before it’ll be up and running again.  Most gadgets will require about 2-4 hours, be it cellphones, cameras, GPS or your camcorder.  You’ll have to be careful with the bag around water though, thankfully, they did make it so that the bottom is water resistant though.  You can purchase the tote bag for $249.99.
