The 'Smartbe' Intelligent Child Stroller Allows for Handsfree Operation

As Millennials grow up and start having children of their own, a need for products like the 'Smartbe' intelligent child stroller is increasing to satisfy a need for tech integration. Currently funding on Indiegogo, the 'Smartbe' stroller is a self-propelled baby stroller that is purported to be the world's first with the ability to follow parents in a handsfree manner.

Working with iOS and Android devices, the 'Smartbe' stroller is packed with an electric engine that could propel the stroller in front of a running parent or one that's carrying several bags. The 'Smartbe' child stroller also has an assist mode that offers parents a helping hand when they aren't strong enough or able to push the stroller themselves.
