Customers test and score a baby bib that keeps prams and pushchairs clean, a super-absorbent sponge and a sports bag with anti-theft devices built in.

Three entrepreneurs come together to discover what our cast of customers think of their inventions.

Mum of three Melanie came up with her idea with husband and childhood sweetheart Frank. When Frank wanted to give his daughter an ice cream in her expensive pushchair, Melanie was only too aware of the mess it could create. Unable to find anything that would adequately cover the child and buggy, Melanie created her own pram bib that she hopes will wow the customers. Inspiration struck Chris when he tried to defrost his freezer without flooding the kitchen floor. He has came up with a super-absorbent sponge and cloth that can hold up to 12 times the water of a normal sponge. Tony’s love of playing football was to provide the inspiration for his idea. Finding he often had to leave his bag unattended at the side of the pitch, and with no lockers to hand, he wanted a secure way to keep his bag safe. He has invented a unique sports bag with three anti-theft elements to deter would-be thieves
