Children’s Inflatable 2MPH Speedboat

Summer’s here, so why not make the necessary preparations in advance for your kid to enjoy their summer in the great outdoors instead of spending their time cooped up at home right smack in front of the video game console? The Children’s Inflatable 2MPH Speedboat should make for a welcome distraction to Mario and Metal Gear Solid, offering your little one that there is more to life than just achieving a high score or pounding baddies to submission via the video game controller.

This is the inflatable speedboat that provides a safe 2 mph speed on calm water, such as pools or small ponds (play the video). The outboard electric motor is controlled by a child sitting in the inflated hull–a handhold with a finger trigger turns the motor on or off immediately; the boat can accommodate two children at once. The motor drives a shrouded propeller with no exposed blades that provides smooth movement over calm water; the motor can be turned 360°, so even backward movement is possible. Requires eight D batteries that provides up to five hours of operation. Deflates for off-season storage. Hull constructed from 3mm thick PVC. Supports up to two children (or 100 lbs.)

This is one $99.95 toy that is worth considering if you want to get your kid to obtain a tan this summer!

The police speedboat, your kid’s wildest dream? Says:

[...] Published by Maria Mihale, on Jun 01 2009, in the categories: transportation Children usually have an imagination that is able to amaze people and to make them ask themselves how in earth a human being of no more than a couple of years old can come up with all sorts of ideas that wouldn’t cross their minds in a million years. They want to be the characters they see in movies and cartoons, they want to have the toys their friends have, they imagine living in fantasy worlds that do not and will never exist. But this is their charm, after all. However, what are you supposed to do when your kid comes to you and confesses that he/she would really like to have a police speedboat, because it would help them become the defender of justice and peace, just like they’ve seen on TV? You should take into consideration the Children’s Inflatable 2MPH Speedboat, offered by Hammacher Schlemmer. Not only it will make your kid’s dream a dream come true, but it will also give him the chance to spend the summer outdoors. The speedboat isn’t a police speedboat, just like your little one might want, but it provides a speed of 2mph when sailing on calm waters, in areas like pools or small ponds, which is more than the word “safe” can describe. “The outboard electric motor is controlled by a child sitting in the inflated hull – a handhold with a finger trigger turns the motor on or off immediately; the boat can accommodate two children at once. The motor drives a shrouded propeller with no exposed blades that provides smooth movement over calm water; the motor can be turned 360°, so even backward movement is possible.” The speedboat runs on eight D batteries that are able to provide approximately five hours of continuous operation. When deflated, it measures 25 x 13.5 x 8 inches, so you can easily store it when the summer ends, while inflated measures 53 x 25 x 8 inches. The “police speedboat” can be purchased from Hammacher Schlemmer for $99.95. (Source: Coolest-Gadgets) [...]
