Have you guys seen it in person? It's like something out of a sci fi movie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-origami-stroller#post-183888 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 00:06:47 +0000 lemondrop 183888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw it on one of our local morning shows- cool concept, but absolutely no way would I spend that much on a stroller!</p> <p>My not even 200 dollar Jeep stroller is so easy to fold and can go anywhere, even if I had tons of money I wouldn't get anything else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-origami-stroller#post-183867 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 22:38:45 +0000 Sweet T 183867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They had a baby shower type show on "Ellen" and the entire audience got one of these strollers for free! I would never be able to justify the purchase or afford it. I was so jealous that they all got them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-origami-stroller#post-183835 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 21:29:02 +0000 mrs. bird 183835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We could never justify spending that on a stroller we'd have to replace when we had a second kiddo. Maybe if it were a gift we'd use it. There are lots of other strollers that would better suit us (I'm totally crushing on the britax b-ready!) for less $$, but for people who are really into gadgets it might be cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-origami-stroller#post-183823 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 21:21:38 +0000 BSB 183823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Holy Sheeeeeet! If I was rich, I would get one. I wonder which celebrity will get this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-origami-stroller#post-183802 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 20:57:43 +0000 Rubies 183802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw this and thought, "Yeah, that's cool" but I would never consider buying it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-origami-stroller#post-183762 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 20:18:53 +0000 littlebug 183762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$850 is way more than I would consider spending on a stroller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-origami-stroller#post-183638 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 17:38:19 +0000 Boogs 183638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: No, I just worry about what happens if it breaks. Plus is wasn't lighter or less bulky than its competitors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-origami-stroller#post-183578 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 16:29:45 +0000 calsmom 183578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love their Mamaroo (not the cost though), but I wouldn't get this. It seems a bit much. Folding our stroller isn't a big deal, really lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-origami-stroller#post-183565 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 16:17:09 +0000 dc yoga bee 183565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: Did it seem more like fluff than anything? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-origami-stroller#post-183558 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 16:12:19 +0000 Boogs 183558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw it at Buy Buy Baby and got to play with it. It was cool, but I'm not sure that I would buy it. I guess they are coming out with a playpen, too. Now, that I would probably be more likely to consider. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-origami-stroller#post-183555 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 16:09:04 +0000 dc yoga bee 183555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know this is super old, but DH just brought up this "gadget" he saw on a tech blog about this stroller that charges your phone- and I found out this was it! Does anyone have this? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-origami-stroller#post-31653 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 19:52:19 +0000 anonysquire 31653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will buy it in a heartbeat. So awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-origami-stroller#post-31578 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 17:07:48 +0000 cupcakemama 31578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That just seems like something else that could break. Strollers aren't that hard to fold up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-origami-stroller#post-31575 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 16:59:56 +0000 s1lly 31575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's way too expensive just for the power option. I have the city mini and it's convenient and easy enough with the one had fold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-origami-stroller#post-31436 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 23:43:46 +0000 Rosie Girl 31436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It folding itself up would be nice, since I always struggle with that! But other then that, that is a lot of "extras" that I don't need, at all. Plus, I think it kind of looks funny! Not for me, even if I had that kind of money! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-origami-stroller#post-31391 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 21:20:15 +0000 skibobrown 31391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow. Pretty cool stroller, but the price tag is way too hefty for me. The one we chose folds up using just one hand, so that sounds easy enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-origami-stroller#post-31378 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 21:02:52 +0000 SAHM0811 31378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@venice4504: agreed... and did they seriously call a stroller a "donkey"... really? couldn't they come up with something more pleasant sounding? :)</p> <p>i do know someone who has it though. she has a toddler and a recently born infant and they walk everywhere in the city, so she needed a double. especially with winter coming up, she didn't want the toddler walking around in the bitter cold... but she said all other doubles wouldn't accommodate her very tall 3 year old except the donkey. she's lucky that her in-laws gave it to her as a gift! still though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-origami-stroller#post-31370 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 20:51:05 +0000 venice4504 31370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nycalimama- The Donkey cracks me up. I'm a huge fan on in-line doubles because those double wides can't get anywhere and then you just look like a fool trying to plow your way down an aisle! I think that if you're able to spend the ~$1500 on a Donkey there are a lot of other strollers that you could be looking at and go out to a really nice dinner afterwards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-origami-stroller#post-31361 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 19:43:07 +0000 SAHM0811 31361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@venice4504: I agree with your Bugaboo price mention... </p> <p>Speaking of high stroller prices and the Bugaboo brand though, when I heard that the Bugaboo Donkey was anywhere from $1,200 to $1,700 (after factoring in taxes, accessories, etc...), I thought THAT was atrocious! This Origami one? At least it's the first of it's kind and like you said, comparable to a single seat Bugaboo... I just think it would be interesting to see if its power-folding and generator features set precedent for other strollers coming out in the future... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-origami-stroller#post-31336 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 16:35:40 +0000 venice4504 31336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, I spent the time to look at the specs. It's got all sorts of sensors and I highly doubt that it would ever malfunction and squish a kid. People in the stroller business are not going to make something that intentionally can harm a child.</p> <p>It's got a manual override if anything did break. It has a two-step fold so you can't just push a button by accident and it folds.</p> <p>It weighs way too much. It is cool that it has a generator though so it doesn't need batteries to work.</p> <p>I don't like how at $850 it doesn't have the option for a second seat OR to be able to face baby. The small cargo area is laughable.</p> <p>The price is no worse than a Bugaboo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-origami-stroller#post-31115 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 07:05:01 +0000 MH.Abroad 31115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This looks cool but scares me too. Besides, we could never spend that much on a stroller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-origami-stroller#post-31105 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 04:34:22 +0000 SAHM0811 31105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: we recently got the UB Vista. I've owned about 5 strollers and it's definitely my favorite :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-origami-stroller#post-31004 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 21:46:45 +0000 Mrs. D 31004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd NEVER spend that much money on a stroller, but if you want to buy me one, I'll accept the gift. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-origami-stroller#post-30937 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:51:23 +0000 Andrea 30937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: well that makes sense. there is probably no way to get a super light double. so this thing would probably be 60 lbs for a double! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-origami-stroller#post-30923 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:46:40 +0000 MsMini 30923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It seems cool, but I am leaning towards the Uppababy Vista, just because it has been out for a while and has good reviews, I would hesitate to go with something that new to the market. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-origami-stroller#post-30917 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:44:02 +0000 tequiero21 30917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: hehe the stroller i registered for is about 28 pounds. it's a double though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-origami-stroller#post-30870 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:24:51 +0000 Andrea 30870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thing weighs 29 pounds! So even if it was $100 I wouldn't want to deal with it. And it looks freaky .... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-origami-stroller#post-30758 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 17:27:13 +0000 tequiero21 30758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nah. nice option, but not worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-origami-stroller#post-30729 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 16:34:54 +0000 Rescuemom10 30729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cool concept. But a bit much! I would be afraid of it breaking too!Plus very expensive! Wow! </p>
