For anyone out there with children, you may be familiar with the term from the semi-recent Robots. Turns out many humans believe that as well…

I changed jobs this year, which has required me to travel more (ugh!). A recent trip did allow me to stumble across these children of necessity. Check them out for yourself in the SkyMall on your next flight:

Maybe you can help him blow it up?

Shoot it!

Doubles as a moonwalk.

Seriously, look at the size of this visor.
