Rock Star Baby Stroller
I guess when you're a rock and roll celebrity, it gives you license to do anything, like come out with a line of baby clothes (Gwen? Britney?) or in the case of Bon Jovi, strollers! Yup, that's right - Tico and Jon have designed a suspiciously Bugaboo-like stroller, which they call the Rock Star Baby Stroller because "cool people have cool kids. Cool kids need to travel in style."
The stroller, which comes in "true colors of Rock – black & white with shades of gray in-between" (pretty neutral, yes, but at least they're not using animal prints or shiny vinyl with studs), feature a reversible, multi-position seat, adjustable handles, air pump for tires, and the pram. All this at a rockstar price: $499, but hey, that's a bargain compared to the Bugaboo! It's a pretty good looking stroller, I have to admit, though it does lack the streamlined sleekness of the Bugaboo.
You gotta love the above promo image of the 2 rockers with their kids. And at the risk of dating and embarassing myself, I will admit I went to a Bon Jovi concert once when I was in high school - they were the opening act on their first big national tour...yeah, I know, I know.
Available at Stroller Mama.

This is our stroller. Our little guy is only about 2 months old, so we haven't used the seat yet. We have been using the stroller with the pram and the car seat adapter. So far, we really like it. It is manufactured by Hauck. We liked the Bugaboo, but in our neighborhood in Los Angeles (the Larchmont Village area) it seems like there are a dozen Bugaboos on the sidewalks at any given time. It's a little like Bugaboo overkill. We wanted something a bit different, even if some people would call this stroller a Bugaboo-wanna-be. (We didn't mind saving a few hundred dollars compared to the price of a Bugaboo, either). So far we haven't seen any other Rock Star Baby strollers around town. That will probably change, though, because people often approach us to ask about the stroller.

Yeah, this is the Hauck Infinity (or here in Australia, the Childcare infinity) stroller, with "rock star" logos on it. It is actually possible to get it without all the Bon Jovi labeling, we have one and it's not a bad pram, especially at half the price of the Bugaboo.
