KidCare Riding Car
Invented by 6-year old Spencer Whale
At the age of 6, Spencer knew that young kids who were hospitalized with serious health conditions still liked to play. However, their medical apparatus (IV and oxygen) often inhibited their freedom. He also noticed the problem that parents would nervously chase their children with the IV pole for fear that the needle would come out. To solve this problem, he created a riding vehicle with an attached IV pole for kids to play.
Spencer created a ride-on vehicle with an attached IV pole so that kids could have the freedom to play while getting their injections and parents can rest their minds from fear of needles pulling.
Spencer is the youngest Inductee to the National Gallery for America’s Young Inventors (Hall of Fame) at age 8, in 2000.
Spencer won the 2003 Jimmy Neutron Generation Genius Young Inventors Contest, the 1999 Student Ideas for a Better America Competition and won 1st place at the 2000 Regional Invention Convention.
