High Tech Baby Products - Too Cool or Too Much?

From the Mamaroo baby seat to the Origami stroller (both from 4moms), to toddler tablets, to "Smart PJs", and tech-integrated teddy bears, baby gear and toddler gear is definitely keeping up with our techie society. But is this cool, fun, or maybe just a bit too much for you and your little one?

Do you have an older child? Do you work from home? Do you do all the cooking, or even cleaning, without anyone to watch your baby? You might be interested in the Mamaroo baby seat - especially for chores like cooking or working from home where it's really not safe to wear your baby. This chair moves in five different motions you'd make when cradling your own child - and has visual and audio entertainment as well. Perfect for a mom who really does need her baby to "just chill" for a while!

The Origami stroller opens and closes itself at the touch of a button, is self-charging and can even charge your cell phone, and is customizable from birth to toddlerhood - the size and weight of the stroller change, too! This one is more for the techie than the stylish or busy mom, but... it is pretty cool!

You've probably heard about toddler tablets - many companies are currently trying to get in on that trend. But have you heard of the iPotty? It's a toddler potty with a spot to click in your iPad... this might be a dream come true, or it could go very, very badly. Want to take the risk? It does, in fact, exist!

Still not convinced that baby gear is getting more high tech? What about Smart PJs? They're pajamas which have codes you can scan on your smart phone which will unlock songs and stories for bedtime. They're apparently "the world's first interactive pajamas". If you want the newest thing, this just might be it.

And, finally... the old standby, the teddy bear. We've moved up from Teddy Ruxpin - these bears will come to life when an android or iphone is placed in their integrated smart phone dock. The teddy bear moves in sync with the voice coming from the phone. Nope, I'm not joking. If you have tech savvy kids and/or fond memories of Teddy Ruxpin, check out the new generation!
