The 4Moms’ Origami self-folding stroller
CrunchGear —
To put this simply, the Origami stroller is the coolest gadget I have seen since the original TiVo. Seriously, and it’s just a damn stroller. The baby carrier folds then unfolds itself in a matter of seconds and coming from a parent, that’s f’n cool. The best part is that the mechanism’s power comes from a small generator that recharges with every 300 feet instead of utilizing pricey batteries. Of course there is the standard features of cup holders, reclining seats and all the goodies generally found on today’s strollers, but 4Moms also ...
Baby-Eating 4Moms Robo Stroller Packs, Unpacks Itself [Death Trap]
Gizmodo —
This automated baby stroller from 4Moms, due out in 2009, has international incident written all over it. The hand-free collapsing trick seen in the video is neat looking, but what happens when Tiny Tim gets strapped in for a morning constitutional and mommy accidentally hits the "fold" button? Well, I'll tell you what happens. John Connor suddenly appears next to the thing in a flash of electricity, buck naked, and fights a T-1000 to the death. That's what happens. Another cool thing about this stroller, on a serious note, is that the automation is powered by a rechargeable ...
Power Folding Stroller Eats Your Baby

I don’t have kids, but if I did, I would have to buy one of these Origami power folding strollers. Not because it operates at the push of a button. Not because it’s made of 90% recycled materials. Not because of the integrated cup holders and daytime running lights (!). Not even because of the power system that completely recharges after only 300 feet of strolling. No, I would buy it because I could tell my kids to behave, or the stroller will eat them. EAT THEM. I’ll just keep quiet about the built-in safety mechanism designed to prevent just such ...
Origami stroller folds and unfolds on its own
Boing Boing Gadgets —
The "Origami" stroller from 4Moms is going to appeal to nerdy papas, too: powered by an onboard generator that recharges the unit every 300 feet, the Origami folds and unfolds itself automatically. There's a built-in safety mechanism that prevents the device from closing in on your child and reducing it to jelly. It's a shame there's no depression to hold the child when it's closed — it could be Baby's First Power Armor.
It'll cost you $650 when it's released next year. A fair chunk of change, but not all that expensive when compared to other premium prams. ...
