The ultimate pushchair/stroller?

Post by sundaymorningstaple » Fri, 19 Apr 2013 9:33 am

Just saw this on FB and thought maybe it should be passed on.....

http://www.4moms.com/origami

But with the state of sidewalks in residential areas (and drains grates) the wheels might be a bit small to be really safe, but otherwise, pretty nifty, but a little expensive for the year that they would need it. S$1839.99 :o

check out the reviews on Amazon which seem to be honest and not planted.

I thought this was neat. It transforms into a bike!

That is almost worth getting knocked up for.

If it takes a child from newborn then the price isn't bad. A combi system from iCandy will set you back s$1400 and a Bugaboo S$2k. And neither of those charge your phone.

They dont appear to offer a rain canopy that would probably stop me buying one.

I reckon a Quinny Zapp cover would fit that.

Apparently there is an accessory to take care of the 1st 6 months as well. Add about another $150 to the cost I reckon. Fifty for the adapter and who knows how much for the Graco Car seat.

S$200 for a car seat. I bet the resale value would hold though, if they're good quality and you look after them you could flog it on for a grand.

Let me know when it comes with air-conditioning - phone charging's pretty cool, but let's talk about necessity
