An Answer To All Your Prayers? Hertz Introduces The Colour-In Car

Do you constantly tear your hair out at the mess the kids leave the car in? We have something to show you that might just remedy that. Car Rental Specialists, Hertz bring you the world’s first colouring-in car. No, I am being serious here - it's a car that you can let the kids loose in, with a felt tips!

Basically, the car is upholstered with the designs of a Colouring Book and it can be 'coloured in' as you travel to your destination.

It's a great idea when you think of how 'bored' the kids are as soon as you start a journey anywhere. Mine even do it on a two minute drive to the supermarket. So, it entertains them, but 'colouring in' is also thought to be rather relaxing too - does that mean no more fighting?

I get the thinking behind this but it does leave me feeling a bit uneasy - will the kids now expect this in our own car at home? Will they annoy me even more because the green pen has rolled under the passenger seat?

These special, child-friendly cars are literally like a Colouring In Book from seats to ceiling.

How to get your hands on one? A trial run starts in August from the Hertz London Heathrow branch and if it's a success then it'll be rolled out to others.
