Baby Mop makes your kid work for his bottle
If you have a baby, the chances are good that it's not pulling its weight around the house. You feed it, you provide a roof over its head and you change its diapers. The least it could do would be to help clean up around the place.
That's possible with the Baby Mop, an outfit for your baby that cleans while it crawls. It's a genius product, really. Now only if you could figure out how to get a baby to make you a cocktail at the end of the day we'd be all set.

Yes, because crawling around on the floor is labor, right?

I've seen this before in a book called "The Big Bento Box of Useless Japanese Inventions." The picture there was of a prototype made by the author of the book based on one of many patents he found for that and similar "chindongu," the Japanese term for these useless ideas. It's definitely not something anyone takes seriously anywhere.

Very smart, what can I say!
Your baby will gather all the the dust and debris from home on his outfit!
After a few years you will have a child that:
1. Strong immune system
2. Strong medications for dust allergies
Is it worth the risk?

This is indeed an old product, and whilst some of the floor will be wiped up, it'll be a bodge job, and only serve to make the mop/baby dirty, and the floor clean only in spots.
However putting your child in one of these would not give it dust allergies. It would as you say, give it a strong immune system. Not exposing your child to the world is what causes allergies later on.

You idiots. Using this on a baby is a bad idea. First, you run the risk of exposing the baby to dust and whatever the hell is all over the floor. Second, your baby will grow stupid because you're a stupidass for buying it in the first place. Hell, the person who came up with this idea is the biggest stupidass of them all. Look at that poor baby, it already starting to look stupid. I thought asians were smart, take this product back to China where it came from.

finally! A use for babies other than ruining a nice meal at a restaurant. (my apologies parents but it can be quite annoying.)

VISH, you are the idiot. This is a great invention.

Unbelievably stupid and ignorant invention! Just imagine, normally when your baby crawls on the floor, he/she may be exposed to "some" dust that is left on his/her shirt & hands. But, with this ridiculous outfit that "captures and holds on to dust", your baby is potentially exposed to xxxxx times more dust.
I would be surprised if the baby does not develop allergies, and worst of all have breathing problems or asthma in the future.
The person who came up with this idea either does not have a kid, or is just simply stupid.

Lighten up morons.
It's a joke.
And if there's an idiot on this planet who takes this seriously the risk of being exposed to all the dust is by far less of a problem than being exposed to such a stupid parent.
