Smartbe is developing a hands-free smart stroller that pushes itself up hills, rolls in front while you walk or jog, has a built-in camera, rocker and bottle warmer – all powered by an app. And tech loving parents can purchase one for just $2750.
'I know how uncomfortable it is to push an ordinary stroller through snow in Manhattan, up hills in San Francisco, or for a jog along the path through the heat and humidity of Miami,' Guillermo Morro CEO and founder of Smartbe told SFGate.
'So, I set out to design a better stroller, one that combines all the greatest technology to give parents and babies a better experience.'
Smartbe launched a campaign on Indiegogo with a goal of $80,000 and has raised $4,660 in just three days.
The funds will be used to take the concept to production.
Early supporters can purchase a stroller without the self-propelling technology for $399 or $2,750 with.
The firm believes the price will be around $3,000 when the self-propelling stroller officially hits the market sometime next year.
To eases parents' minds about the stroller being hands-free, Smartbe has designed them with cut-out cords that connects the user to the stroller.
If for any reason the stroller gets away from you, a simple tug on the cord and the stroller will stop rolling.
The assistant propelled mode turns on motors that push it along, which can be a great help when talking walks up hill or carrying heavy grocery bags.
There are also nifty features that make your lives easier such as built-in baby rocker, temperature control, an electric feeding bottle warmer, a wireless speaker, and an anti-theft sensor.
