Children enjoy car rides. They’re relieved by the vibration from the road and mild hum of the engine. For some kids, it’s the only thing that will help them sleep.
Regrettably, children are horrible drivers and seldom chip in for gas. Stopping everything to take them for a spin each time they’re picky is bothersome.
Ford Motor might have an option. It has created a model of a new sort of crib that replicates all the best parts of a car ride without the exhaust.
The Max Motor Dreams appears like a designer bassinet from the outdoors, other than a large FORD logo. A speaker under the child plays engine noises. The base of the crib gradually rocks from side to side, imitating the experience of a moving vehicle. The rim of the crib is lined with LED lights that switch on an off, like passing under streetlights.
Professionals state white noise and recurring movements remind babies of remaining in of the womb. The Max design looks really similar to the Snoo, another smart crib released previously this year. Developed by renowned industrial designer Yves Behar, pediatrician Dr. Harvey Karp, and MIT engineers, the $1,600 Snoo likewise automates the rocking and white noise children enjoy.
Some old fashioned parents recreate the feelings manually, bouncing their children in their arms while making shushing sounds with their mouths.
The Max Motor Dreams’s product is not in fact readily available to the general public. The crib was developed for Ford as part of an advertising campaign to promote its Max line of cars. The automobile company is holding a raffle for the crib. Ford says it is thinking about mass producing the crib due to significant demand.
