CPR Teddy cuddles up nicely, teaches resuscitation

We've seen soft 'n cuddly teddies transformed into nearly every gadget imaginable, but the Save-A-Life Training Center is hoping to teach common individuals how to perform CPR with the use of a less frightening subject. The oh-so-adorable CPR Teddy looks a whole lot better than other CPR training bots that we've come across, and after squeezing one of his paws, "voice prompts walk you through the correct procedures for choking rescue and infant / child CPR." It gets a bit dodgy, however, when you have to submerse yourself in the moment and actually press down on his red heart patch as the bear's built-in metronome paces you. Subsequently, the creature's bow tie actually lights up in green or red to alert you of how you're doing, and his chest will actually rise up as you perform rescue breathing and simultaneously inhale mounds of fur. The basic CPR Teddy kit rings up at just $79.95, but we'd highly recommend picking up a few extra masks to avoid getting choked up yourself when performing mouth-to-mouth.

This could be a great tool for those in grade school. You can't be too young to learn life saving skills.

I think that someone should make an animated cartoon about this teddy and the advice he gives to little kids about CPR. In fact let's call those kids Max and Jill (that whore).

I think it's only useful if, upon successful resuscitation, CPR Teddy has a violent muscle spasm and coughs up a mouthful of vomit.
