Left: Maclaren GB Type Au Right: Ziko
This Maclaren GB Type Au for $4,000 will provide your toddler with a pimped up ride to peruse the hood. With carbon fiber gold sheathing and a detachable nine-karat gold brooch, your babe will be livin’ large. This Ferrari of the stroller world is a collector’s item according to Maclaren as only 20 were manufactured. Collectible?!?! Who spends $4k on a collectible stroller? Eminem…50 Cent? Does it sit on display in the nursery? If used, does dried spit-up, ground in food particles, and juice spots increase value? This means my fleet of strollers is worth a fortune.
Not into the Maclaren? How about this flashy number? I am sure many of you are thinking gold lamé went out in the 70s. Well, it has made a small, unnecessary reappearance. The British brand Mamas and Papas made 10 of these Ziko strollers for Selfridges’ 2006 Golden Christmas Celebration at $860 each. Diddy grabbed up two for his twin daughters. Gwen Stefani has one. That leaves seven hideous strollers for the rest of the population. I suppose you could consider it a safety investment as the entire thing serves as a gigantic reflector. Every driver will you see coming from miles away. For those craving trends from abroad, the Ziko is actually considered one of England’s must haves in baby gear.
