VagabondThere are times when you might want to take the young won for a bike ride, but in crowded areas a stroller works better. It isn’t easy to bring a stroller on a bike, but the Vagabond solves the problem by transforming from bicycle to stroller in under a minute.

It integrates traditional bicycle technology with a front-positioned child carrier. And we it is worth noting that this is a five-in-one system. It can be converted quickly to be used as baby jogger, stroller, rear trailer or urban cycle. Continue reading Interbike 2010: Zigo Leads the Way with 5-in1 Family Cycle
