Wait. Did you ever hear the stroller buzzing when the woman wasn’t around? Maybe you’re thinking it was a motorized baby cart when it really was just a motorized woman pushing a normal cart!
Damn near passed a round steak thru my nose! :eek:
Amazing…just smeggin’ amazing! :rolleyes:
It’s Portland Oregon, so there are some here and there. But from the store to her car was 100% flat.
That is a good point and I suppose if you have a vast amount of hills around your house, and feel like wasting $700 on a baby cart, this might be the thing for you. I can see someone with a back problem or limited mobility in their arms finding this quite useful in that case. But, I would also figure someone like that might want to consider something lighter which you can take in and out of your car when making shopping stops. So I’m not sure someone like that would bother.
Of course, I’m going to guess this product isn’t marketed to people with mobility problems… 
so this post is like 7 years old, lol…but i google “motorized baby stroller” to see if they even existed cuz i thought it would be a good idea, and it came up in the first page of search results…so, while it does exist, looks like they’re not so common, as i couldn’t find a single review of an actual user…now for the reason why i thought it would be nice:
i have a 1 year old and a 3 year old, super-tough 3-wheel jogging stroller. we don’t have a car, yet, so we do a lot of walking, i like it, the boys love it. thing is that sometimes we walk a LOT, so i pile both of them into the stroller together, cuz the 3 year old is older, but he’s still little 
so that’s 55 pounds of little kid on the 10-poundish stroller…and of course we don’t usually walk around just because…we go 10-12 blocks to downtown and do some shopping, and, try as i might to spread things out between different days/trips, we always end up buying one of these, one of those, just a little bit of that…and before you know it we have another 30 pounds of groceries shoved in the storage basket underneath the stroller. so we’re walking home (oh…forgot to mention…SUPER hilly area, and we happen to live at one of the highest points in town…) 8 blocks of total uphill, last 3 are at least a 35 degree slope…so the other day pushing at least 95 pounds of stroller/boys/groceries, between little stops to catch my breath, i thought “geez it would be nice to have a motor on this…” i actually even imagined it with an extra little spot for me to stand on
but i would not use it in a completely flat area, and definitely not in the supermarket. that’s just super ridiculous and lazy. just wanted to give a good situation where it might be useful though…but meanwhile i guess i’ll just keep working out my biceps, becuase i wouldn’t actually buy it
zombie strollers for zombie babies…
As an incidental note, motors and explosives make everything cooler.
Racing stripes, too.
When I first read the thread title I just knew this was going to be about women and vibrators.
I can’t find a single powered baby stroller anywhere online. I think this post was a fib.
Old ass fib.
I stand corrected.
Well no wonder she needs an electric stroller. The baby is around 7 and a half years old now.
Link leads to some page that requires a sign up, many people won’t sign up to random pages.
Also, when googled, no images of the horrid thing are available, no shopping link, no manufacturers web page.
30 pounds, the stupid woman couldn’t lift 30 pounds? With my fucked up back I can lift 30 pounds into the trunk of my car.
I tried it too. All the links in this thread, like sinews in a a rotting corpse, are broken.
I think it would be great to get two of these things, point them at each other, and have the babies play chicken for pink slips.
I’m going to guess it has something to do with a trend of one-upmanship in urban mommy culture. Consider the rise of high-end strollers, organic free-range diapers, and the like. Do mommies buy expensive Maclaren and Stokke strollers because they’re good strollers, or because they want to impress other mommies?
One trend I’m starting to see more of now is children well beyond toddling age in strollers. We’re talking kids from four to eight years old.
If she couldn’t even lift it into her car, that makes me think she might have been using someone else’s stroller. Maybe it was her sister’s kid or something, and her sister has MS or is a paraplegic. Maybe she’s just rich and lazy. Who gives a shit?
Wouldn’t a 20 pound six month old be monstrously huge?
Also, that kid is seven years old now. Kinda weird to think…
Before anybody says it, I looked it up, and am wrong. 20 lbs is within the healthy weight range for a 6 month old. How soon we forget…
Must be because her husband White Middle Class Suburban Man was busy elsewhere.
What I want to know is how big that baby’s head really was. The poster said normal baby head. I’m not aware the word normal applies to a baby’s head. I’m thinkin’ 8-12 pound bowling ball. Basketball size maybe? Because other than the medicine ball sized ones (which seem to have their own atmosphere) they really vary in size.
Inquiring minds want to know.
