You could use this device to teach the child to walk really fast.

Run, Mom, run! Train that kid for the 1958 Olympics!

(Erica, more likely that mother will trip first, breaking kid’s legs. Explain that to social workers.)

And what does Mom do? Take baby steps to avoid ripping the child’s legs off?

When my daughter, a late walker, became comfortable hanging on to things and walking that way, a friend suggested giving her a wooden kitchen spoon to hold.

She carried it horizontally like a bar to hold on to, and kept her balance. That was all she needed to get the hang of unassisted walking.

Erica- you fall over too, obviously. Possibly forward, on top of the baby.

I wonder if he scaled this up to teach the kid how to drive.

Speaking as an engineer and a mother — some engineers should clearly have their degrees revoked.

Beyond the WTF of strapping your kid into this, what do you do when they sit down or fall over backwards?

This is one of those times when the old-fashioned way seems to make a lot more sense.
