Origami Self-Closing Stroller Is a Slick Gift for Techie Moms

In addition to being sleek and stylish, the Origami self-folding stroller has every feature a gadget-loving mom would want.

The Origami stroller by 4Moms folds up with the touch of a button. The stroller has a weight sensor in the frame that detects when a child is inside. If the button to fold the stroller is accidentally pushed while that weight is detected, the LCD screen will flash an error message and will not fold. In addition, when you have the stroller open and your child is in it, you can always use the silver knob to lock the stroller so that it cannot fold or unfold.

The Origami toddler seat is meant for a child who can sit up on his own — one usually around six months old. Prior to that age, you can use the frame of the stroller with the Graco Snugride car seat adapter and a Graco Snugride car seat to turn the Origami into an infant stroller.

It can fold into one of three dimensions for compact storage when not in use.

Generators in the wheels charge the stroller's LCD panel, lights and the folding motion. The stroller can also charge your cellphone with a extra component. Pathway lights illuminate the ground when it gets dark, and lights on the back of the stroller are on during the daytime to make sure cars driving by can spot you.

The LCD dashboard features a thermometer to sense outside temperatures, a speedometer, plus trip and lifetime odometers. The stroller also contains a removable storage bag, cup holders and pockets. You can purchase the optional cellphone charger accessory for about $40.

Price: $849.99, plus $39.99 for cellphone charger
