Tod - Pod for Jet Set Droolers

If you have ever traveled anywhere with a baby, you will have nothing but love for Aldo Barreto's innovative Tod - Pod for Samsonite. Aldo, a Canadian Industrial designer (woot woot), fresh out of school entered a design competition held by travel company Samsonite. The challenge was to design child transportation 'vessel' that would eliminate the need for the endless baby gear required to get baby safely from A to B. By gosh, I think he's done it.

This Tot - Pod concept has a built-in child restraint system, drop down wheels - so it can easily convert from a car seat to a stroller, as well as a carry handle and storage compartment. The whole things snaps shut so it can easily be carted on and off a plane. You can't get more jet set baby than that.

I know, you're wondering, where the heck can you buy this thing right? That's the catch. So far it's just a concept but who knows, it may very well be the way wee ones travel in the not so distant future.

Until then, we lug...
