Ok, this is a complete exaggeration but do you see that stroller?  It was once ours, made especially for Let’s Go Strolling by the awesome and unbeatable KidKustoms!

KidKustoms Roddlers are the strollers you get for the parents who have everything or just what you get for your guy to make sure he’s willing to do his fair share of stroller pushing.  These are really not just strollers, they are true works of art! (Click below here for a video demo about them!)

Each KidKustoms Roddler stroller is hand assembled/painted/overseen by the amazing Joe Iacono and his team.  Joe is a total car guy who for some inexplicable reason, realized he could make a more beautiful stroller than any others out there – especially one more geared to Dads and/or people who appreciate truly fine car craftsmanship.  Since each stroller is truly hand-crafted, we work closely with Joe and our Let’s Go Strolling KidKustoms customers to create the stroller of their dreams.

We’ve had the honor this year to work with customers to create some pretty smokin’ strollers.  They’ve had monogrammed seats, ipod connectors and speakers, rear fender reflectors and even custom-designed fender art.  Unfortunately since these are special order for some high-profile customers, we can’t show them here – but trust us, they would blow you away!  Here’s one Roddler they did for International Pin-Up model Sabina Kelley, which, I have to say, is pretty cute.

Anyways back to us (of course!).  For our Roddler, we had Joe do a bit more toned-down version for the Let’s Go Strolling store in our signature green color.  A few months later a Romanian pop-star needed one ASAP for her music video.  Since Joe lives about 20 minutes from us, he called and asked if he could send ours to Romania and make us a new one.  Of course we agreed.

Joe just forwarded on these Parazzi shots of the famous (though unknown to me!) Corina l-a botezat pe Robin with our, I mean her, KidKustoms stroller.  So even though we’re not hounded by the Paparazzi yet, our strollers sure are!

We’ve been carrying the brand new Clek Oobr since it’s release late this fall and both Melissa and I grabbed one up for our cars.  We love it!  Not only are the fabrics soft (and the Paul Frank ones so cute!), but the installation and use are so incredibly easy.  My son loves the skulls on his Skurvy Oobr, while Melissa’s daughter loves the pink color of her Strawberry Oobr.  The Oobr has stain-resistant fabrics so it looks good even after many car snacks!  Even beyond beauty though, the seat has extra padding and can slightly recline – both making it a more comfy ride for your child.

While we can easily speak to looks & comfort, we’re of course concerned with safety since it is our kids (and yours) that we’re talking about.  Clek impressed us with their attention to safety – evident in their use of a energy-absorbing foam combined with a magnesium frame and structural headrest to provide better impact and intrusion protection, easy latch installation for safety when you kids are and are not in their booster (no flying carseats upon impact folks!) and belt guides for safe seatbelt positioning.  Well the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety just released their ratings of Booster Seats and the Clek Oobr had their top rating and was chosen as one of their top “Best Best”.  Not that we were surprised of course, but 3^rd party verification is always awesome to have!
