Origami stroller folds and unfolds on its own
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.

Won't squash kids?! Ha! I can see the injured infants and the lawsuits rolling! Horrid idea, and how lazy do you have to be! Buy a British McLaren and be done with this useless gadgetry.
Er, where do the diapers, formula, and various assorted baby-crap^H^H^H^Hparaphernalia go when the stroller folds up?
Yeah, right. Baby gets a cut, stroller tastes blood for the first time... this won't end well.
Because, you know, safety devices have never failed....
Should totally be wired with the Transformers SFX.
*wrunk-rOnK-RaNk-RINK!!*
On a tangentially unrelated note, especially of things "vaguely unsettling", found a gem in YouTube's menu attached to the stroller vid: Ninja cat getting closer without moving. Must see, it's rather spooky, and reminiscent of the hedge scene from the newer The Shining with that guy from Wings.
