# Armored Baby Carriages Comes With Sadistic Cradle and Sinister Walker By Emily A. Davidson | Published 2009-12-21 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/armored-carriage References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/weblog/cat/10/view/8457/shi-jinsong-gun-shape-baby-carriage.html) & [geekologie](http://www.geekologie.com/2009/12/post_78.php) Shi Jinsong from Beijing designed these apocalyptic baby accessories on display at the “China- Contemporary Revival” exhibit at the Palazzo Reale in Italy. The armored carriage belongs to Jinsong’s ‘Ne Zha’ series of incredibly unsafe baby products. A carriage protects and cradles the baby, betraying it’s darker, violent functionality as infantile weaponry. Or is it infantry weaponry? The armored carriage comes with a sadistic cradle that invites ooh’s and aah’s over sleeping baby, but rejects too-close onlookers with a futuristic tommy gun. A sinister [baby walker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jumbo-walker) provides the perfect platform for bouncing, battling babies. Warning: may cause a surge of ‘Rambo’ baby names.
