Tel Aviv - Most parents worried about their baby getting too hot in a pram will adjust the blankets or head for shade, but one dad wanted a more high-tech solution for his young daughter - a portable air conditioner.
"At first I was trying to cool her off with a hand-held fan. Then I thought of a much simpler idea - a little air conditioner," Israeli Ofir Ben Aharon told reporters.
The device, which weighs less than 2kg, looks like a motorised fan attached to the end of about a half-metre-long pipe that can be fitted under a typical pram.
An air vent connected to the other side of the pipe is fitted with a puppet so it can be propped inside, looking like just another of baby's stuffed toys.
Ben Aharon says he wants to market the battery-operated machine in Europe and the United States in the next few months, although he has not yet come up with a retail price.
