    8. is the device easy to set up (if a fence or other device needing to get setup) 9. that the device is cheap..ie if you would not spend much money at all 5, if you would be willing to spend a lot 1

    so on a scale of 1-5, 5 being most important, how would you rate the following things as far as importance in a product like this 1. The ability to keep the child from being able to get in the pool at all 2. the ability to keep the child afloat 3. an alarm that would alert when something...

    the older jetta tdi's will get around 50mpg and while they're no performance machines with a chip they're very driveable...and you dont' have to carry around a ton of batteries with you either

    would you say this would require that it kept the child out of the pool, would it require that it notify the parent, would it require that it physically prevent the child from entering the pool or is a sensor letting the parent know that the kid is in the area work?, please let me know

    to get even simpler what are some requirements that the product would absolutely need to have... for instance, the ability to notify the parent? etc...

    the belt could work...but you'd have to design it so that you made sure to hold the kid right side up so you don't drown him while you float them

    how would recommend the opening mechanism prevent kids form entering...would the mechanism use older peoples size or strength as a means of allowing them to enter?

    what would you think of a small fence system with a childproofing of sorts preventing small children access to pools yet still allowing older people easier access than a standard fence would allow coupled with a small water sensor or sorts?

    thats a decent idea but they kinda already have that, they make them for boating to where a splash or water or even very heavy rain won't activate them but submersion will...and they quickly inflate with a c02 cartridge....so i have to come up with something else

    Refilling a Water Bottle

    Ya i think the bottle safety issue stems from washing them in the dish washer which causes the plastic to break down, probably from the heat etc...but i think if you just rinse them out with soap and water they should be ok
