I once found my neighbors' 2-year-old child walking down the street, about a block away from home, at 7:00am. To get there, he had to go through a double-locked apartment door, down the stairs, through two locked (very heavy) vintage glass and wood doors, down the concrete path to the locked (and even heavier) cast iron gate, and then turn left down a one-way residential street instead of right, which would have put him at a major traffic street within about 100 feet. His parents didn't even know he wasn't asleep in his bed. I wasn't a parent at the time, and I could still feel in my bones how lucky they all were. Toddlers seem to be hell-bent on killing themselves, constantly.
Unfortunately, the Targets in our city have discontinued those baskets with extendable handles, which means you now have to use either a full cart or else court muscle strain carrying the much-smaller baskets. I assume it's to force people to use the larger carts and thus buy more.
Remember the old Bongo Board from the 1970s? They're updated now, and even better for general exercise and balance, as well as specifically good for off-season practice for surfers and snowboarders. But there are moving parts, and one must concentrate to a certain extent (TV viewing is OK, verifying totals on a budget sheet, not so much). This looks like a great scaled down version for when you need to keep more of your brain on task elsewhere.
edited to add, be sure to have a floor/carpet protector under this, because there will be an issue with wear. And if you have wood floors, keep in mind the rolling pressure will cause creaking after a while.
I see this as psychological abuse equivalent to corporal punishment. If a child is being harassed and bullied both at home and at school, where can s/he turn for solace?
There was a joke back when the Evelyn Wood Speed Reading Course was popular. Comedians would say they took the course and afterward were able to read "War and Peace" in 30 minutes. "It's a great book. It's all about Russia."
I was just talking yesterday with a man who was nostalgic for hotdogs stuffed with Hormel chili (which apparently are no longer available, to his complete bewilderment). They were called, unsurprisingly, "Frank 'n Stuff."
I have the feeling the Double Down Dog would be an instant favorite with people like this man.
Yes you can. Happens all the time around here, on the south side of Chicago. We've never lost a package to thieves, ever.

Fresh air. Vitamin D. Exercise. Change of routine. Sense of community.
It's good for the baby, too.
