When she was pregnant, a friend found that she developed a blind spot... encompassing her feet and any nearby tripping hazards. When you've got little children, there are tripping hazards a-plenty.
How about a couple of mirrors, mounted on one's hips, to allow a clear view of the sub-bump unknown?
Also suitable for the morbidly obese.-- david_scothern, Jul 14 2007 I don't know about you, but I don't typically look -down- while walking. I look forward along my path, keeping a subconscious mental note of obstacles which need avoiding/stepping over/stepping around.
But [+] for the mental image of someone walking around with the 'aid' of a pair of hip-mounted mirrors.-- Freefall, Jul 16 2007 Pregnant persons are often somewhat sensitive to their bloated profile. So rather than further blowing it out with wing mirrors, how about using cameras? With a bumptop screen, you could effectively make the bump itself see-through.-- DrCurry, Jul 16 2007 maternity clothes with motion sensors/beepers-- dentworth, Jul 17 2007 random, halfbakery
