What’s the most effective way to put your baby to sleep? Traditional rocking cradles don’t work every time, and neither do those soothers. Ford believes it has the solution, though! And we bet parents in Dubai, UAE never saw it coming. Check it out!
For many new parents, there is only one effective way to put their little ones down at the end of the day. What is it, you ask? Well, according to Ford it’s a night-time drive that soothes and calms the baby making them nod off eventually. Using this piece of data, Ford has come up with a rather interesting and innovative invention. A baby cot that simulates a car ride!
Dubbed Max Motor Dreams, this unique crib will simulate the gentle vibrations, the hum of the engine and even the dim glow of streetlights of a night-time drive. It has been designed on Ford’s behalf by the Spanish design studio, Espada y Santa Cruz. Designer Alejandro Lopez Bravo believes that this cot can make everyday life easier for a lot of people, especially the parents of newborns who are desperate for just one good night’s sleep. Amen to that, we say!
While it may look like any other cot, there is a lot of technology that goes into the making of this one. The Max Motor Dreams is fitted with tiny LED lights, a speaker in the bottom produces an ambient noise similar to muffled engine sounds, and it rocks and vibrates gently to mimic a ride in the backseat.
Best of all, it can be controlled by a smartphone app that parents can use to record the sound of their car, its movement and even the pattern of lights that seeps into the car cabin during a night-time drive. These can then be reproduced in the cot. Now that’s what we call a customized ride!
For now, it’s a one-off experimental prototype but Ford is considering putting it into full-scale production. Pretty sure parents of newborns will be lining up for this one! If you don’t want any more sleepless nights, we suggest you get one too for your little bundle of joy.
And let’s hope they come up with an adult, smart bed version of this soon. What do you say?
