I recently bought a new bathroom scale. After thoroughly researching several different brands, I selected a model that can sync to your smart phone and track 13 different measurements. I stepped on it one time and promptly threw it in the trash. Looks like the “COVID 15” is real, and I need to start a new workout regimen fast. But snow-covered streets make it difficult to run, and my dog gives me funny looks when I practice my aerobics routine in the living room. What if there was a way to work out while accomplishing my necessary tasks, like grocery shopping? Well thanks to the inventive mind of a child, there is. Say hello to the wearable shopping cart. In a recent video, the YouTube channel Kids Invent Stuff demonstrates how to design and build a real wearable shopping cart.
