A New York company has designed an outfit for babies that can polish the floor as they learn to crawl. BetterThanPants.com is hoping to clean house with the Baby Mop.

Inspired by a Japanese spoof advertisement, the Baby Mop promises to "teach your baby a strong work ethic early on in their life."  All the while your baby "will get a nice workout, burn off energy and do muscle toning."

Mike Parker from BetterThanPants.com said his business has sold about 100 of the baby-propelled dusters in the first month since introducing the line.  He says, " the idea was part of a contest on ridiculous inventions in Japan but was never actually sold anywhere.”  But now it's a legitamate product. The original Baby Mop spoof was featured a few years ago on the Ellen Show.

The Baby Mop sells for $40.00 US. Parker says it's proving to be very popular.
