Children bring love, joy and happiness into a household. They also bring messes like you can't possibly imagine. Cleaning up after busy, active children can be quite a daunting task. If only there was a household tool to help. Check out these tools we wish we had for keeping the home safe from kids.

The Lego-nator: A self-propelling vacuum designed specifically to suck up Lego pieces from every nook and cranny in the couch.

The Flytron: A series of weights and pulleys hung from the ceiling guaranteed to hold active kids suspended six feet in the air to keep them from getting underfoot. Look, kids, you're on the moon!

The Dinner Detainer: The kitchen table seat belt designed to keep kids in their seats until they have finished their dinner, and I mean it this time!

Happy Clean-Up Robot: A shiny new mechanical buddy who can help kids finally clean up their rooms. I mean, honestly, is there a floor under all this stuff?

The Mature Contentator: A special filter plugged into the TV that transforms episodes of "Hannah Montana" into more parent-friendly entertainment (like anything that's not "Hannah Montana.")

The Velcro-izer: A tool that adds Velcro your walls -- and your kids' toys. Where does this toy go? Just throw against the wall and it's found a home.

Super-Inflatable Parent: To comfort kids who have bad dreams in the middle of the night, there's an inflatable Mommy or Daddy  at the ready to rub frightened kids' backs. Also included is a pre-programmed audio track: "That's all right, [name of child], all the monsters are gone now."

Spumoni Shades 3000: Special tinted glasses for the kids that transform broccoli and spinach into ice cream.

The BarneyBlock 2009: a device that prevents any mention, audio or video image of Barney the Dinosaur from making its way into the house.
