Introducing the World’s First Power-Folding Stroller – the 4Moms Origami
From the amazing minds behind 4Moms (yes, the geniuses who brought us the Mamaroo), comes the Origami—the world’s first power-folding stroller, which boasts high-tech features you didn’t even know you needed. Just a few of its perks? An internal generator that powers the stroller and charges your cell phone, an LCD screen that detects whether or not your child’s in the seat, and even a built-in pedometer to track your speed and your steps. It’s also multi-stage, incredibly travel-friendly, and features recyclable parts, making it as eco-conscious as it is innovative. Need we say more?
Why it’s a giggle pick: With its endless array of high-tech features and its clever design, the Origami truly is in a class all its own. Plus, it’s perfect for the techy parent who always wants the latest and greatest gadget out there.

giggle has a full range of car seats with fabulous choices for infant, toddler, booster, and convertible car seats. Which car seat is best for you? Consult our Car Seat Gear Guide or visit one of our stores so one of our personal shoppers can help walk you through the process.

Don’t take it from us: read these five-star reviews from giggle customers!
- LOVE this stroller. I did a lot of research before I bought a stroller — and I struggled with whether or not to “invest” in a more expensive one or go with a less expensive model. Well, I’m glad that I chose to spend a little more. Not only is the handling on the Uppababy great, but it’s just the right height for my husband and me (we’re both 6′ plus!). I also love how versatile it is — I call it the transformer of strollers. My son slept in the bassinet (in the bassinet stand) for the first two months. We use the carseat adapter with his Chicco carseat whenever we’re on the road (and it installs easily/works great). I’m looking forward to using the regular seat when he gets a little older, but until then the bassinet still works well (and I love how it looks!). A few minor things: this is definitely a bit wider than many strollers, but living in suburbia I haven’t found that to be an issue except indoors; this stroller also isn’t the easiest to fold (took me quite a few times to get the hang of it — but would never call it “one-handed”). All in all though, I’m very happy with this purchase and would make it again!
- I have nothing bad to say about this stroller – lightweight, folds easily, soft padded bassinet that can be used as a primary sleeper, interchangeable forward or rear facing stroller seat that’s suitable for newborns, comes with extra UV/bug/rain shades, huge basket and option for rumble seat for second child. Love, love, love!
- I can’t say enough great things about this stroller!! We’ve used the bassinet with the stand in our bedroom for the first several months. Also great to travel with and can replace having to bring a travel crib for the first six months. Having the luxury of taking our little guy for walks in the pram have been wonderful and I know he stays warm as he’s protected from the elements and can be bundled with blankets. Plus the versatility of being able to go back and forth with the bassinet, car seat and toddler seat all using one stroller nevermind being able to continue it’s life if we happen to have a second child at some point. It’s been worth every single penny and is my absolute all time must have favorite baby purchase yet!!! You will not regret this purchase.
