Test drove a $900 stroller yesterday

everydayk · February 2012

The Origami...This thing is a freaking Rolls Royce! It manually opens and collapses-- you just press a button! It's like a Transformer. It also tells you the weather, how far you've gone on your trip, and how fast you're going. INSANE.

I mean, I'd never spend 900 bucks on a stroller, but that thing is tricked out!

I want this.

Sounds like more opportunties for something to break, to each their own.

Ooooo I wanna drive one! LOL. My parents are buying our stroller system and my Mom happens to have picky, expensive taste. She is looking at a lot of Peg Perego strollers, and the one I like most is the UPPAbaby Vista system (much cheaper than Peg Perego, but still roughly $700 with the accessories I would need) so I think we will be getting that.

Her thought is if you buy real good quality now, it will last through all the babies (even though I only plan on having two total). She used a real nice Peg Perego for my little brother and sister for about 5-6 years and managed to sell it after all that use for $500! So, I can see her point, but of course I am OK with it since it is not coming out of my pocket book. LOL.

Babies are just plain expensive! Wink

Man, I wish I had $900 to spend on a stroller because that sounds awesome!

) You always hear stories about how it can become a nightmare if a stroller is hard to close/open, so it would be such a nice luxury to be able to just press a button.

) Don't really think I'd care about the other options, like telling the weather. ;o) Definitely won't have the money for this, though!

I have heard nothing but GREAT things about it and when I went to check one out at BuyBuyBaby, I was walking all over the store with an empty stroller for a good half hour! I think it's amazing! Thanks for the feedback-I am so excited to get it and the 2012 model comes out this month! Yay

The Origami is amazing!! One of the coolest features is that it is self-charging so you never have to worry about batteries or plugging it in. It was even one of the finalists for last gadget standing at CES this year. Would I love to own this stroller? Yes, but I can?t justify spending that much money on just a stroller. I have to admit though, I am a technology junkie. If you think this stroller is great, you should check out their version of a swing called the mamaRoo. I?m actually putting this on my registry instead of a regular swing. The new ones are $240, but you can get a refurbished one for $169.99. The nice thing about this one is that you can actually plug it in instead of going broke buying batteries for a typical swing.

That is CRAZY.

PhillyGal34 · February 2012

I've been in love with this for months (yes before we were even pregnant)... we are gadget types but I've decided against it... there are just so many things that we need to spend money on and then our taxes were messed up so I can't justify it right now... but it does look amazing and I will be getting the mamaroo... not the same but oh well.

everydayk · February 2012

The storage bag/basket on this thing is terrible. It hangs down by a central point (not a 4 point basket-like harness like the vista)... it swings around. I doubt you could fit a good size diaper bag (or if you could nothing else is going in there). Not worth the money, IMO

I think we are going for a Britax or city mini! I could never spend that much on a stroller!!!

mollyxcate · February 2012

I saw it, and I want it, and if our taxes come back as much as we think we're getting I'd be tempted to get it (clearly it would last through all future LOs) but I won't...

We are seriously considering an equally expensive stroller, Phil and Ted's Promenade, so it's not the price that turns me off. I don't need a generator or cell phone charger. What I don't see is a bassinet for a tiny baby or even the option to purchase it separately. Thanks but no thanks.
