Babysitter Car
The Idea
I have to babysit my sister when my mum is away for work. But I feel tired at times especially when she is too naughty or cries too much. One day, I was watching the news on TV and I found that it's so normal in Thai society that most parents are mostly out of home for work and have very little time to look after their children. So, my idea is to create a car that can babysit many children at the same time. This car is able to bath the babies, play music and lullaby, put babies to bed and even feed all kind of food to babies. It is equipped with many dolls and toys with the ability to talk to babies like human parents do. This car will help solve many parents with no time to take care of their children
