Crash Test Mom: Origami Stroller Is Like a Luxury Car

If the idea of a stroller robot gets your gears greased, watch our review of the Origami stroller.

This is a neat stroller with a lot of fun perks like a USB charger, pedometer and street lights. But this is not the stroller for jet-setters -- light and portable it is not. It's heavy and clunky, but then again, aren't all robots?

It should be noted that this bad boy died on me in the middle of Manhattan. I was trying to collapse it in a restaurant and the motor froze mid-collapse. This left me stuck with a half-opened robot that could not hold a child. If I couldn't close it, I would have to carry my child and a heavy stroller to the train to get home. I panicked for about two minutes, then I Google'd the instruction manual to figure out how to manually override the robotic closing mechanism. That sucked.

But there are a lot of features of the Origami that are handy. If you want a stroller with as much panache as a luxury car, look no further.
