I am the first to admit I've had my share of crazy ideas,some even bordering on the absurd,but I always recognize at some point that it really isn't a sound idea. The person/persons who thought of the "Skateboard Stroller" apparently don't have this fail-safe idea rejection option in their brains. This is a bad plan on so many levels it is hard to decide where to begin. I have no problem with jogging strollers and the people that use them seem to stay out of conjested pedestrian areas,but the skateboard stroller is "designed to help parents navigate the urban environment with greater ease"...so what about everyone else? We all surrender the sidewalk (note the word sidewalk ,not sideride) so these confused adults can try to grab a final piece of adolescence? Never even mind that skateboards,bikes and skates are prohibited on most sidewalks. And did anyone stop to consider the childrens safety if mom or dad wipes out? Sure the kids can be strapped in and wear helmets,but if that were enough to insure their safety why are they considering having safety waivers signed with every purchase?
