Great idea for kids with disabilities but what is going to stop rich parents buying these for their fully able bodied tots? There must be ways to ensure that that never happens or we will end up with a generation of fat tots with unfortunate fat disorders :( I'm all for it for disabled children - except that I wouldn't want them to get fat either.
@JimTB its not teasin, its how you teach very small children to do somthing. If they do well they are rewarded, its a universal theory that is applied right through life all the way into adulthood. It just becomes more subtle as you get older, after all most of dating and mariage fallows that model.
@JimTB Apprently you know nothing of how the human mind works. Teaching involves risk, and with a good reward at the end. Like Stereophobia said, it happens all through life. A person studies for a test, get's a good grade as a reward. You strive for a good job, you get rewarded for it. I can go on and on. To teach a baby, you coax it to do something, and then reward it so it knows that is good behavior. Teasing in this case would be keeping the treat out of reach and never give it to the kid.
This is so cool. Children at this age can't control a wheel chair on their own. It kind of moves in he same way segway works, but you use your body more.
@VoiTuboUser Yeah, those stupid disabled babies who can't crawl; they're just SOOOOO LAZY!!! Why can't they just pull themselves up by their bootystraps?!

@TwizzWTFisWrong It's for infants with disabilities that make it impossible for them to learn to walk.
Each of the kids using it will always be known as "the kid who never learned to walk... but could move on their own anyways."

@JimTB especially when they have physical disabilities. It's pretty mean.
