Starter Ideas: 1. Moulded add on for cribs to stop babies rolling onto their fronts while sleeping. This was to decrease the chances of cot death which "Most likely occurs during the first three months of a child's life and when a child is asleep in their cot at night." - http://www.express.co.uk/life-style/health/442876/Cause-of-cot-death-found Researched more into this idea and found that not only have sleep positioners already been manufactured but they are also not reccommened for use. "Finally, don't use a sleep positioner to try to keep your baby on his back. In 2010, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a warning to parents to stop using sleep positioners after the suffocation deaths of 12 infants." - http://www.babycenter.com/404_should-i-worry-if-my-baby-rolls-over-onto-his-tummy-while-as_3571.bc 2. Inbuilt flotation in childrens swimsuits (ages 1-4). Products currently on the market for keeping young children safe while swimming include only large bulky life jackets, floating ring seats and small air filled arm floaties. Current pool flotation devices: - http://www.swimways.com/pool-flotation-devices-c-54.aspx Range of Lifejackets - Mostly built for over 16s - Infant ones are bulky: - http://www.safekids.org/sites/default/files/documents/how-to-choose-the-right-life_0.pdf My Idea would be to include slimline closed-cell foam within a nylon cover that is built into the childs swim suit. It would be as slimline as possible to allow the children to continue playing whilst wearing it, without being restricted by its size. The inbuilt flotation would be focussed on the front of the swimsuit in order to roll the wearer onto their back and left their head from the water upon risk of drowning. How flotation rolls a person: - http://adventure.howstuffworks.com/outdoor-activities/water-sports/life-jacket3.htm I also looked into other new materials that could be used for slimline flotation and found some new products: Aerogel: http://www.aerogel.org/ Metal Foam: http://www.grantadesign.com/products/data/metalfoams.htm However both are still very new and are not fully commercialised. Making it hard to determine their exact properties and the limits to which they can be adapted. Upon further research into child flotation I found that inbuilt options are on the market, however limited. I also decided that I did not want to be building a fabric based product. 3. Affordable and Simply Built Ergonomic Desk and Chair Combination (Or depending on time, just the chair). This is the idea I have chosen to go with.
