Backseat Wally Takes the Stress Out of Driving With Kids
Rochester, NY (PRWEB) January 05, 2016 -- Wallyhoo, Inc. is proud to announce the release of Backseat Wally™, a secure padded barrier that provides physical and visual separation between young passengers during car rides. This patented, first-of-its-kind product offers a solution for the growing epidemic of distracted driving.
Researchers at Monash University have found that during a 16-minute car trip, parents spend about 20% of their time attending to children in the back seat instead of watching the road, and that children are 12 times more distracting to a driver than talking on a cell phone. When there's conflict between these young passengers, the situation worsens.
Company co-founders Scott Cahall and Bob Kiesow explain they developed Backseat Wally to help parents of young children cope with a difficult situation that happens every day. As fathers who have been there, they saw the need for a simple, immediate solution that reduces driver distraction and makes car rides less stressful for everyone.
