Every child gets a giant smile whenever they can give a hand to their parents. Especially when they feel they could do it their own way. Especially when they learn by doing to master domestic appliances.
For all these points, the Snail vacuum cleaner is a wonderfully smart object. It’s a vacuum cleaner shaped like a snail. Kids could ride it as a bicycle, and clean up their room while ridding them. Very powerful illustration of labor and fun, something we guess that no mother would deny.
.Tina, a graduate student of Lunds University School of Design in Sweden, has made it for appliance manufacturer Philips. Unfortunately, the cleaner is still a project that doesn’t hit the production stage. Hope this will change very soon.

Me too, actually. Unfortunately, I’m kind of “no kids, but in couple”, so I can’t try it for now.
