Hey there, fellow parents! Have you ever found yourself knee-deep in making lunches, tackling laundry, or assisting with homework, and thought, “I really need to surrender even more of my independence to my kids”? If that resonates with you, then you’re in for a treat! Introducing the Piggyback Driver: “The helmet that allows kids to drive their parents around.”
With the Piggyback Driver, you can conveniently tuck away your self-esteem and ability to think for yourself into a dark corner of your mind, where they’ll remain undisturbed until your little one decides to release you from this self-imposed confinement. We stumbled upon this product thanks to the wonderful team at EcoMom, who praised the Piggyback Driver, stating, “What could be worse than having my child yanking on a steering wheel attached to my head?” Not much, right? But imagine if that child could also honk a horn by smashing a button on the top of your head – that would be pretty close!
Oh yes, the Piggyback Driver includes a horn. You know how much joy those birthday party noisemakers or Grandpa’s megaphone bring to kids? Now, picture that attached to your face while you wait for the fun to kick in. The helmet even offers “vibrations inside the helmet [that] guide parents on where to go,” in case the sharp yank on your neck isn’t enough of a clue.
There’s also a “turbo boost button” that unleashes what is ominously described as “a burst of light and sound.” Can your kid press both buttons simultaneously? No parent has lived to tell the tale. Additional features include turn signals (yes, they’re on your head!) and LED lights that flash faster as your exhausted body speeds up. Because all a parent truly desires is to be kicked in the ribs, shouted at to “go faster,” and have their head yanked around while their child rides them, triggering lights and honking horns.
It’s as if all our dreams have been fulfilled, only to be brutally snuffed out. While the Piggyback Driver is pitched as “the next generation of piggybacking,” sometimes, like with Chocolate Berry Creme-flavored Oreos, it’s best to leave well enough alone. Kids adore piggyback rides — they’re like the rare golden moments of peace for parents. They don’t need any additional gimmicks to be magical. That being said, would kids have a blast with the Piggyback Driver? Absolutely!
But if we spot a parent trotting through the park wearing one of these helmets, we’ll likely chuckle (internally, of course, because we’re kind-hearted) and send them our best wishes.

Summary
The Piggyback Driver helmet allows kids to “drive” their parents, incorporating fun features like a horn, turn signals, and vibrations for direction. While it promises to enhance the joy of piggyback rides, it might be best to enjoy the simplicity of traditional rides instead. Kids may love the novelty, but parents might find themselves wishing for a more peaceful experience.
