Poop-and-go pram proves popular

Scientists have finally come up with something only slightly less important than sliced bread: A new super stroller which allows mom to keep pushing, while baby does too, whether it’s a number 1 (or even a number 2) – no more inconvenient nappy change-stops.

The secret to the LOOF 1 is, according to eminent Professor of Perambulation, Don Tropdababie, a combination of cutting-edge design and several nifty sensors hidden in tasteful flaps.

When baby starts to “go”, the sensors pick up vibrations and open chutes, which aerodynamically funnel baby-waste away from the pram (and mom’s feet!).
Just in case you’re worried about what happens to unwanted wee or poo, don’t panic! Environmentally-friendly sprays treat the eliminated waste as it plops out of the pram, rendering it scentless and clean.

Tropdababie anticipates huge sales when the stroller goes on sale 1 April 2012. “Who wouldn’t want this stroller? Now mommy can be shopping without stopping, while baby does droppings!”, the Professor laughs, adding, "I don't care if people think me a fool, I will always try and invent new parenting tools!"
