Hasta La Gadget!

Babies are expensive. Not the actual babies (of course, nobody goes shopping for babies. And if they do, that’s illegal) but the cost of raising them and providing them with not only their needs, but their wants as well.

Strollers are a must-have for every parent, unless they can carry their child for hours on end when they’re out and about. As with most gear that’s made for kids, your child will outgrow the stroller in a matter of years. If you want more bang for your buck, then you should check out the Piv-O stroller.

The Piv-O Stroller was designed by Luis Pereira Twist. It’s a convertible stroller that can later be transformed into a walker and then a tricycle, which means you’ll be able to use it for the majority of your child’s early years.

The bad news? It’s still a concept design for now, but hopefully someone out there will pick up on it.

It’s never too early to get your child into video games. You could seat them beside you as you play, dress them up like your favorite video game characters, even create flash cards that teach them about games and heroes. Another cool way is to build them an awesome stroller like this one here.

This Mass Effect baby stroller was recently spotted at GeekGirlCon ’13 and needless to say, this kid is the most popular on the playground. That stroller looks just like the Normandy and I bet it even goes faster than a normal stroller.

Any video game fan with a little kid wishes they had this to push their baby around in.

If you want your kid to have the Star Wars experience, start them at an early age. Make them a landspeeder stroller and push them around while you go shopping.

In the image it is being used to haul some bags, but there is some lucky kid that gets to ride in this thing. It’s one of the best first sets of wheels a kid can have. It’s all downhill from there. He or she is going to want an X-Wing or a Millenium Falcon for his 16th birthday.

This stroller was spotted at Denver Comic Con. Of course. You have never seen such a wretched hive of geeks and nerdery.

We’ve featured a couple of cool and geeky baby strollers, but Xandon Frogget’s creation trumps them all: a stroller that can drive itself around, or let an adult or toddler steer it themselves, but still avoid obstacles. Because your baby can’t argue his way out of a ticket.

The mechanized stroller is equipped with two Kinect sensors, one facing forward and the other facing backwards. The sensors scan for surrounding obstacles and relay their scouting data to a computer, which then controls the wheelchair motors that drive the wheels. In the demo video below the computer in question is a Nook Color and the steering implement is a Wii controller on a steering wheel attachment.

You can order the other components or an entire mechanized stroller from Frogget’s website. Expect to pay $2,500-$3,500 (USD). It’s expensive, but according to Frogget the wheelchair motors can support up to 300lbs., so perhaps, when the baby – and the neighbors – are asleep, mommy or daddy can take a ride on it and imagine they’re piloting a mech.

The last time we saw a Tusken Raider and a Pod Racer together, the Raider was shooting at it. That’s not the case here. Either things got so bad in the race that he ended up pushing it and refuses to give up or he’s just starting this kid off young, hoping to make him a Pod Racing champion.

This Tusken Raider is not wearing the traditional gear of his people either, unless there’s a Nike Store on Tatooine now. This custom-built Anakin’s Pod Racer baby stroller was spotted being pushed in the last leg of the “Course of the Force” race in San Diego.

That Pod Racer looks sweet though. Look how shiny it is. And the little Anakin has a lightsaber at the ready just in case any other racers try to pass him.
