Grocery-Cart TV for Kids of Shoppers

A New Zealand firm is betting on a U.S. market for a shopping cart that lets young children watch videos while their parents shop. Shaped like a car, the Cabco cart rents for $1, part of which goes to retailers like Wal-Mart and Publix, who are testing their popularity. Child-development experts are wary, but Cabco says offering customers the carts can add as much as $100,000 to a store's receipts.

Ok - now I'm not a parent. But I was a nanny. I find this ridiculous. What my sister did and what I helped enforce as nanny - was teaching my nephew who to behave in public He threw a public tantrum a total of two times - and quickly learned that is NOT a good idea.

But again, I'm not a parent....

So parents - what do you think of this idea?
