Forget Thorazine, Drug Your Kids With PediSedate!
Having portrayed the Dentist in Little Shop of Horrors myself, I can assure you that the headset you see here, a kid-friendly nitrous oxide delivery helmet paired with a Game Boy, is absolutely not an instrument of torture...
...That model comes in teal.
And as a guy who had multiple major surgeries as a kid, I can say that I'd rather get hooked up to Boston-based anesthesiologist Geoffrey A. Hart's "PediSedate" than the vituperous ethers they used when I was a wee one. Hart claims it's been "very well received by parents, kids and health-care workers." And nitrous-heads, too, I bet!
It works like this: first you convince your child that he or she isn't being strapped into a Saw-style device meant to rip the mandible from the skull. Then you turn on the N02 flow, hook up a videogame, and watch your tot buttonmash his- or herself into a very light coma.
What's not to love? Aside from the sex offender name and the concept of a helmet that gasses children in an entertaining way... Do they come in Irresponsible Adult sizes? And can I get mine in teal?

Other stuff like this: children on drugs, game boy, nitrous oxide, pedisedate
I would absolutely buy this for other people's children.
the name pedisedate is so wrong in so many ways... i'm surprised they let that one pass by
Fun times. This is kind of brilliant except, after having had the gas many times as a child, it's not super necessary. It doesn't take long for baby chirruns to pass out.
On a side note: Now! Do it now! While he's gassing himself to palpable stupor, the timing's ideal and the moment is super...
Why does this even exist? Is it somehow difficult to gas a child? Christ.
Creepy. Remove the gameboy and I bet it would scare the life out of that child.
