4MOMS (ORIGAMI) The Origami stroller is the world’s first power folding stroller: at the touch of a button, it folds itself. With a generator in the rear wheels that charges the stroller as you walk, the Origami can power a phone charger, a speedometer, daytime running lights, and the sensors that detect when a child’s in the seat (so it won’t fold by accident). The built-in generator recharges the system while you walk, but you can also plug it into a wall to charge. The digital display screen not only shows how many miles you’ve walked or how fast you’re going, it’s also displays the current weather conditions for you. But the best part about the stroller is that it folds by itself with no disassembly required on the parent’s part. This amazing stroller will be available January 2012, but pre-orders are being accepted right now! MSRP: $850 shop4moms.com
