Sensible ideas from Uppababy

The pictures say it all, don't they? When I see that intelligence has gone into small details like this, it gives me the confidence to make a larger purchase from the company in question.

First, and most impressive in my book, the folded-up pushchair that stands up on its own, aka the G-Luxe stroller. How many times have you perched your umbrella-folded buggy against a wall, only to have it roll away? Not any more.

Then, the cup holder with a difference. It may not be pretty, but those chains make sure your drink stays flat.

Finally, the Piggyback buggyboard. Word is, it's one of the toughest, smartest out there.

Uppababy do entire travel systems as well as pushchairs and little accessories. If they've scaled up this sort of thinking, then I'm thinking, it's worth the investment.
