Buggy Buddy
 There's nothing like an hour on the treadmill several times a week to whip your body back into shape post-baby. Unfortunately, said workout is practically impossible with a newborn in tow. Of course, in the weeks or months since your bundle of joy arrived, you've no doubt logged enough stroller miles to cross the continent – twice. If only there was a way to measure that workout.
Thanks to a new device called the Strollometer, you can log your tracks. Unlike a pedometer that counts steps, the Strollometer functions like a speedometer for your stroller. Strap the console to the stroller handle and the sensor to its wheel, and information such as speed (calculated in both miles and kilometers per hour), average speed, maximum speed, trip distance, trip time and daily mileage is instantly available. A real-time clock and temperature reading (in Fahrenheit and Celsius) round out the functions.
The Strollometer fits virtually every stroller from lightweight umbrellas to souped-up all-terrain buggies and smooth-riding joggers, making it easy to turn even the briefest jaunt into a serious exercise session.
And unlike a treadmill at peak gym time, you never have to wait in line for your turn.
