and why does one of these things need to be OU certified as kosher?

That is something.. I suspect they dont get much call for them tho. Daycares would find them useful.

I dont know why they would need to be certified kosher. I thought that only pertained to food? Perhaps they are going to eat it as a last resort?

Well yes, but with this stroller, "whatever's in front of them" could be one of seven siblings!

And they'd be kosher too, now wouldn't they!

Just because you're Jewish doesn't make you Kosher. :-)

heh, ya think? I figured that bit out early, which is why I've been having so much fun with this. Graco isn't *that* smart.

Oh my.

I think they missed a bet, though. They would be much better off selling pairwise stroller segments that interlock, so they would still be appealing to the family that has only five or six kids but might want to buy the expansion pack later... And anyway, strollers cover what, up to the age of 3 or so? (How old is the average 40-pound kid?) Wouldn't fully populating this require sets of kids (twins, triplets, etc)?

Babies pick food off their stroller seats and eat it? ;)

I've worked at daycare centers where the only outside time the babies have gotten is in giant strollers. That's awful, but that's how it's been. I can see one of those used in that context. It doesn't make sense for a parent, though.

I dunno, after edible undies I would think that edible strollers would just have to be a logical evolution...

Possibly a case of covering all their bases.

They have a product that is aimed at families who, to put ut bluntly, reproduce quickly. Getting the certification now prevents problems done the road.

I'm sure that other people with a lot of kids will want this, as will day care and even hospitals, but being avalinble to the strict Orthodox and UO markets gives them more customers.

Actually, poking around on the page reveals that it's a gag product.

Amusing.

I'm rather fond of the Marvin like lament on the 404 page you get when you click on the buy link. :) I'm sure I've seen it before, but it's still kinda cool. Shows someone out there has good taste in Literature. (wow... think Adams ever thought someone would call his work Literature?)

Later,

I'm very relieved that it's fake. Don't get me started on over-overpopulation... *twitch*

That being said, I also think it'd be a great idea for daycares.
