What we’re loving: self-folding Origami stroller

When you are running errands with baby in tow and are in a hurry to get things done, one of the biggest struggles is getting the stroller in and out of your car. A self-folding stroller might sound like a dream to some parents but not anymore.

Origami by 4moms, a US-based company dedicated to making innovative baby products, is the answer to those desperate prayers. The power-folding stroller by a touch of one button into a sleek and compact shape, and features many options such as: pathway lights; daytime running lights; and an LCD dashboard placed above the handles, which, among other things, shows the outside temperature and counts mileage.

There is a sensor that beeps if your baby is incorrectly placed or not restrained, so it will never fold by accident. And when on the move, it self-charges with the built-in mini “generators” in the rear wheels, and also lets you charge your cell phone (through a USB charging cable accessory, not included).

Other features include a one-push brake, sun-roof, cup holders, pockets and a removable storage bag. There’s also a manual override safety feature.

• Origami is available in various colours and costs Dh3,600. Stands at 99 cm high when fully opened. Can seat children up to 18 kg. Buy it on www.4moms.com, or find it at Alina Baby’s Dream in The Dubai Mall.
