An amazing find from Street Anatomy. Vanessa's team has outdone themselves scouting this one - wish we knew more about its creator!

Update: Vanessa at Street Anatomy did find the creator, Elmer Preslee Industries. And you can view their flickr set here (thanks @TheDarkEngine).

Crazy stuff.

Not sure how my daughter would feel about it (actually, she might dig it), but if I could get my hands on this stroller I would definitely bring it to her baby shower!

The best part is the little bow on the child's head.

I want that more than anything. My baby is being born within the week. I need that for my little boy. Do they make that in dorky adult size? It's...for...a friend.

O.M.G. If my brother saw that... He'd cram his middle-aged ass right into it.

Having been to 2 baby showers at work in the last 2 weeks, I feel this post is just a bit late. I feel soooo cheated.

Reminds me of this kinetic sculpture from a few years ago:
