Bugaboo Frog Stroller. Check out some of the accessories here. You know a design grabs you when you don't have any current use for the product, yet you are still drawn to it like a camel to water. We have no children, yet when we saw a couple at Costco last weekend with this stroller we had to sneak over and took a peak at the brand name. It just looked so sleek and compact versus the beastly looking strollers you typically dodge in the ailes. The couple were speaking to each other in a decidely European language. Upon further investigation it turns out these babies are from across the pond (Netherlands) and I venture to guess the couple was too. A few more tidbits...

The Bugaboo Frog was designed by Max Barenbrug, an industrial designer, and further developed in collaboration with a medical doctor Eduard Zanen to meet rigorous ergonomic requirements and functional objectives of the ideal baby stroller. The manufacture says the stroller can be moved in a multitude of positions, allowing it to be used for newborns to four-year-olds.

Other features include: "Frog"-like suspension in the small swivel wheels; it allows curbs and bumps to be easily navigated; it has a detachable front stroller bar; the seat is adjustable to three position; there are two small swiveling wheels for city maneuvering; the stroller has two large terrain wheels for the off-road; it converts to a two-wheel position to be pulled on the beach or snow; has a reversible handlebar; adjustable seat can walking direction or backward; all fabrics are machine washable; there is a parking brake near the handlebar; the underseat has a bag; equipped with a canopy; and it has a rain cover and mosquito net included. The Bugaboo Frog weighs between 16 to 19 pounds. The Bugaboo costs about $700. (src)
