1. A BOOTH SCOOTER. You know after eating in a restaurant with booth seating, you have to do that awkward 'ass walk' across the booth to get to the outside of the seating, into a position to pivot and climb out? Well, this invention would be like a padded arm that would emerge from the wall side of the booth and shove you across to the outside.
2. CHILD CARSEAT ZAPPER. This device would deliver an attention-getting jolt of electricity to the buttocks of a child misbehaving while seated in a car. From a conveniently located button on the steering wheel, a parent can gain obedience in a far safer manner than the old-school method of trying to reach back and smack the child while the car hurtles down the highway.

I'll fight ya for the patent on this one! I came up w/the idea while watching my 2 go at it in the yard. I thought, wouldn't it be great if they had collars on and I could just use a remote & zap 'em from the kitchen? I would still use it now - and their teens!
When I was in my 20's, I got lost on my way to my boyfriend's house. I had the radio on (of course) and thought, wouldn't it be great if the DJ could just say, "Hey Tiffany! Don't worry, you're going the right way - your exit is just down the road about 5 miles." Had I pursued it, those things would be made by a company called Twisted instead of Garmen.

The booth scooter I like, except when you are wearing shorts and your legs are sticking to the vinyl. Don't know that I would want to shoved across that!! OUCH...and I will take my skin with me, thank you.

I would like a noise proof divider (like in a limo) to extend between me and the children in the car at the press of a button. I'm not sure why car companies haven't jumped at this, since the technology is already there!!
My invention is for an app: People plug in what kind of candy they are giving out on Halloween. That way, you can plan your trip around candy you like, or even which house is/isn't participating. Simple!

Simple! One year at Halloween, a tired Ben refused to go up to the porch at several houses at the end of the evening. Instead, he hung back at the curb and hollered, "What is it?" to Sam as Sam did the actual Trick or Treat knock procedure. Sam would shout back the type of candy, and Ben would then advance to the door, or remain near the curb, depending on the candy being offered. |

OUCH...and I will take my skin with me, thank you. If it was a conveyor belt style thing where you pushed a button or flipped a switch and it just moved you to the end of the booth, that would eliminate the sticky-leg issue. |

I've worked hard this summer to actually get a tan and I'm usually in a spaghetti strap top when I'm out riding around, so that 2-inch angled sunblocker really messes with it. |

My 4-year-old likes to go next door but isn't supposed to without permission. His older brother asked if we could get an invisible fence.    |

I'm going to invent the "gobble glove" that you can wear at restaurants when you are eating a very messy sandwich. It would be disposable and located in a dispenser near the napkins. When you get done eating your sandwich you can just peel off the glove inside out, throw it out, and your hand isn't a sticky mess. My husband and sons say I am crazy but I think it could work!

This is for informational purposes only, but did you know what has the most germs in a restaurant? The menu! cause everyone touches it with who knows what on their hands and THE SEATS! The wait staff probably does a quick swipe for crumbs, but just think of all the bums that sat there before you as you are touching and pushing your butt into place!  I think you should invent a seat with wheels that you bring with you. You sit on your own clean seat and just wheel yourself into position!!!!! |

My oldest DS thought pants made of napkins would solve the 'put your napkin on your lap' issue. What types of sandwiches are causing issues for you? Are you just heavy on the sauce? |

The rotating booth reminds me of why O'Hare has the best bathrooms of any airport I've peed in (and that would be a lot). They have a plastic-ish tube-like cover around the toilet seat that runs from out of the wall and back in. You wave your hand over a sensor on the back of the toilet, and the cover moves until the old part is in some disposal unit behind the wall and you have a new clean place to sit.

Yes, I want a seat ejector. DH has a sports car and getting in and out is a pain. I want to push a button, have the seat raise up and make a 90 degree turn so all I have to do is put my feet down and stand up.
The first car manufacturer that comes up with that gets my money.

Yuck on the germy seat cushions in a restaurant. How about having butt roller implants? The control button could be an additional implant or a external remote. You just lower the wheels like an airplane's landing gear and roll your butt into position and then retract them until time to roll back to the booth edge again. Custom apparel to coordinate with the butt wheel assembly in 'ass'orted colors.

Maybe I am putting too much sauce on my sandwich. I just sometimes get some really messy food that you can hardly eat without the sauce dripping all over your hands and down your arms. Oh well. Until the gobble glove I'm just stuck using a stack of napkins and washing my hands before I leave the restaurant.
I also want to modify my key fob to my car so that when I lock the car a light goes on. That way I wouldn't walk out of range, ask myself if I locked the car, and then have to walk back into range to lock it again just to be sure. If the locked car light was on I would be good go to. I have no idea why somebody hasn't thought of that by now. |

Ooh! I like!
I want some kind of bungee strap that attaches a chair to the table at a restaurant, so you don't have to constantly be pulling a younger child up the table.

This is a serious one...
We put outlet protectors in all our outlets when we have small kids, but they love the night light. I would like to invent a night light that has a tab on it. You would take out the screw in your outlet cover, put the night light in the outlet, and then use a longer screw that would go through the tab and the outlet cover so the night light can't be removed.

This is my son's idea: a snack chip that cleans your teeth while you eat them. If they make them for dogs, why can't they make them for people? He is going to call them Dentitos. This way, he never has to brush.

I would TOTALLY buy this RIGHT NOW! My kids drive me bananas in the car. I've actually been toying with the idea of getting a larger vehicle just so they could sit farther away from each other!
