A conventional looking travel cot/pushchair for a child, except this has a blown clear plastic triple glazed airtight cover.
When the lid is closed, the built-in gas-mixing mechanism engages, decreasing the oxygen content of the gas within the unit to about 15% (6% less than normal).
This causes
no harm, and is enough to support life, but not sufficient for anything more than the resting metabolic rate. Should the child become unduly active (i.e. by screaming its lungs out in a public place), it will quickly deplete its oxygen reserves and lose consciousness; its respiration will naturally diminish, and it will recover.
The triple-glazed lid helps to reduce any temporary inconvenience to those nearby while the squawking little sod screams itself into oblivion.
The atmosphere control system also removes water vapour and CO2, and keeps the temperature at an acceptable level.

This should be fitted as standard on all trains and planes. [+] |

//This causes no harm, and is enough to support life// We sure about that? |

I'm tempted to bone but won't. I do think that
people are too willing to have children and i have
unfortunately reproduced myself, but the children
have no choice about being children and we were all
once of that age. |
|
| |
// i have unfortunately reproduced myself // |
|
| |
To clone oneself accidentally sounds remarkably like carelessness. |
|
| |
It also sounds like you regret it already .... |
|

// children have no choice about being children // |
|
| |
// we were all once of that age // |
|
| |
Speak for your own species, please. |
|
| |
[8th] tell us about you life cycle <yawn> bet there's no sex... |
|
| |
If you are going to triple glaze the push chair why don't
you simply pump out all the air from between two of the
layers? The resulting vacuum will nicely insulate the tyke
from outside temperatures and nicely insulate the outside
world from unseemly noises emanating from within. |
|
| |
It will save constructing all that gas-mixing mechanism
stuff. |
|
| |
//children have no choice about being children// |
|
| |
But the parents have a choice about whether they inflict their children on us, and we have a choice about the extent to which we put up with them. |
|
| |
// why don't you simply pump out all the air from between two of the layers? // |
|
| |
Sorry, we should have mentioned that. Some sound might still be transmitted via the structure of the device, though. And there's an active sound cancellation system, but it's not enough ... just not enough ... NOT ENOUGH ... |
|
| |
// a choice about the extent to which we put up with them. // ... and their nauseating, squalling, ugly, puke-covered smelly little brats, too. Well said, [Wrong]. |
|

Seems like undue effort when a command activated shock collar will achive equivilent results... |

Despite [DIYMatt]'s link (which is clearly not
addressing effects of chronic intermittent hypoxia
on a deveoloping brain) I'll pass along the advice of
my pediatrician: phenobarbital. That's a drug with a
very, very long track record in even the youngest
and most vulnerable patients. |
|
| |
Just make sure you don't misplace a decimal point
when you calculate the dose. |
|
| |
//Sorry, we should have mentioned that.// |
|
| |
A marriage proposal AND an apology. If I didn't know
better [8th] I'd say you were flirting. |
|
| |
// simply pump out all the air from between two of the layers // |
|
| |
That's really neat, actually. Maybe a bubble over the entire family? I do think sound would be conducted via whatever suspended the bubble though, or through the floor. It wouldn't be silent. |
