Remember, today's parents will buy anything their kids want, because it would be cruel not to do so.

There's a kinect branded inflatable raft that someone is pushing to go along with one of the kinect games. At least that cart would be sort of an immersion thing, the raft would probably mess with kinect's ability to track you what with losing view of the feet all the time and screwing up the depth detection of your silhouette.

I would buy that for my child. Blow it up. Race a game in it myself. Let my kid get in. And then promptly pop it while laughing in their face...... Builds character.

Not really, the raft game just detects the upper body and uses that for your standing location. It also uses vertical movement to determine if you are jumping. So having a clear shot of the feet doesn't prevent you from playing, I believe.
