Ride-on Carry-on Shark Tank Pitch
Ride-on Carry-on is an easy way to give your child a seat that is part of your carry-on luggage. The attachable seat straps in your youngster so you don’t have to chase them down in the airport. Then, fold the chair up when you arrive at the plane and put in the carry-on overhead location of the plane. Jeff Foxworthy appears as a guest Shark during the Ride-on Carry-on Shark Tank pitch.
Darryl Lenz is a flight attendant for the last twenty-seven years, seeing countless families dealing with the frustrations of traveling with young ones. That’s why Randy and Darryl came up with their invention. Their device folds and easily stores in the overhead with the luggage. Older kids even have a headrest for a comfortable ride.
Robert Herjavec sees Ride-on Carry-on as a lawn chair strapped to a piece of luggage with a seat belt. They have sold 2,000 chairs at $39.95 with cost at $7.95.
Jeff Foxworthy loves a woman named Darryl, he says his wife’s name is Greg.
