Given
our irrational fear of
maglev
elevators, we sure wish Combi's new maglev-powered "Roanju Auto Swing" for babies had been around when we
still young gadgeteers, as it might have helped us adapt to such a scary new technology. While it's too late for us, at
least the modern baby will be able to benefit from nearly silent swinging operation as well as seven pre-loaded tunes,
plus an ergonomic design on the deluxe model. Apparently a light push is all it takes to get the Roanju swinging for
fifteen minutes, although at $580 for the standard and over $600 for the deluxe, we think we'll just stick to the much
cheaper method of harnessing our toddlers to slow-moving ceiling fans (note: the previous parenting tip was brought to
you by
Blogging Baby).

If the magnetic field from a cell phone will give an adult brain cancer/tumor, what would the magnetic field from a maglev baby rocker do to the still developing brain of a baby?
Motorola 3G Victim:
That's microwaves. Cell phones don't communicate with magnets.
this is all fine and dandy until it shoots the baby across the room at 200mph.
Winning over parents with concerns about radiation will be hard. Yeah, I know maglev doesn't have radiation, but most parent's don't know that.
How about making a rocking chair for adults?

Great! One more way to ignore your kids!
