Metal bars surrounding all sides of the cart work to protect the babies as one adult maneuvers them down stairs, over rough terrain and out of harm's way. Or if you're Kate Gosselin, you can use this cart to strap your kids in and maneuver them into the spotlight—unfortunately there's no way for her to strap in her, uh, reluctant husband, too.

Luckily for the kids, the Taga trike stroller comes with a range of custom safety options and accessories, like the pictured double child seat, car seat, basket, and wooden double-seat trailer. Oh, and it transforms from trike to stroller in a few seconds, which is actually incredibly innovative and convenient. I'm going to go ahead and assume you take little Timmy out first.

The 44 to 64-lb. Taga kit tops off with a Shimano gear system (found on most mid-range bicycles), as well as front, rear, and parking brakes. The whole kit folds down to car trunk size. Again, take Timmy out first.

Another cool thing about this stroller, on a serious note, is that the automation is powered by a rechargeable generator. For every 300 feet of "strolling," you get some more juice. The plastic is also 90% recycled materials, so the coming robot Apocalypse will be environmentally sound, at the very least. No price just yet, but cup holders, and a reclining seat are GO for launch. Update: $650! [Growing Your Baby via Born Rich]

A short WMV clip on www.mamaboard.de details the assembly and shows footage of mothers rolling around. We have to ask: Are these things sidewalk-legal? Or will mothers have to hit the streets and keep up with car traffic? The site doesn't mention any kind of failsafe if the board detaches from the stroller, although the mom in the photo doesn't seem too worried. That kid, on the other hand, doesn't seem so sure. – Kevin Hall

The Strollometer is a speedometer for strollers, letting you see how fast you're pushing the kid around the block. That means you can make calculations like if the block is a half mile around and you need to get back to the house in five minutes to catch the start of the game you need to keep that stroller moving at an average of 6 MPH. Now that's parenting! –Adam Frucci

Attach the stopwatch-sized device to any stroller, and the readout will tell you tons of information while you're walking your baby. Current speed, maximum speed, average speed, trip distance, trip time, daily mileage, ambient temperature, and the time are all readable from its LED face. Maintain your health while taking your child outdoors.

Available in September for $45.95.

Please excuse my failure to "Buy American" in this case because my wife is Polish and her head is swimming with Euro-themed advice she's getting from all her friends. However, I can say that the Quinny, with its elegant lines, unusual modular frame, and through-hiker-meets-Aeron-Chair aesthetic, is one mean baby carryin' device. In New York, the only similar stroller is the over-exposed Bugaboo. Everything else, as my wife says, is plasticky and cutesy, and I agree.

I mean when you fold this thing down, all it takes is a well-placed kick for it to slide hydraulically back up like ED-209 preparing to drill RoboCop. I also suspect it folds into a sniper-rifle for night ops.

That said, here is today's Gizmodo challenge—U.S. stroller makers and distributors: Stop aiming for the mothers. The world needs no more Pooh-themed diaper bags. I realize it is the mothers and attendant in-laws and friends that do most of the shower shopping, but I'm sure that the geeks among us would love a stroller that snaps together like an Antarctic satellite base-station. While I am not proud that I now stare at strollers in the street, weighing them against other potential strollers, I am happy that our unborn son will now be rolling in 18 kg of red hot Euro aluminum.
