Strollometer ® Wins iParenting Media Award; Receives Coveted Spot in Shape Magazine's 2006 Holiday Gift Guide

Great Neck, NY (PRWEB) November 5, 2006 -- The Strollometer ® - an invention that helps Moms get back into shape after pregnancy - received the influential iParenting Media Award in the Gear & Equipment category. This honor follows being named one of only ten winners of the prestigious 2006 JPMA Innovation Award in May.

The Strollometer is an eight function wireless computer/speedometer that fits any baby stroller whether its traditional, deluxe all-terrain, or jogging. Functions include current, average and maximum speed (mph/kmh), trip and daily distance, trip and real clock times, and ambient temperature (F/C).

Since its introduction in September 2006, The Strollometer has received widespread press coverage. Cookie Magazine (September 2006) writes, "By counting a stroller's wheel rotations to gauge distance you've walked or jogged, the new Strollometer achieves greater accuracy than a pedometer." Parenting Magazine (September 2006) comments, "Don't think pushing a stroller is 'real' exercise? You'll love this gadget." American Baby (September 2006) named it a Top Ten pick in its article "Go-Go Gadgets: Bringing Up Baby in a High-Tech World".

And now Shape Magazine (December 2006) in its Holiday Gift Guide calls The Strollometer one of its "ingenious picks" to ring in the New Year.

The technology community is also praising the design elements of The Strollometer. ChipChick.com (9/20/06) writes, "It is the rarest of gizmos, a novel, high quality, thoughtfully designed item that serves a very specific audience very well. Its simple to install, with clear instructions and sturdy components."

Designed from the ground up, The Strollometer ® easily straps-on, straps-off any stroller. It fits horizontal and vertical handlebars, plastic mag and spoked wheels, and can be set for wheel sizes as small as 10cm in diameter. The package also contains a pouch to carry The Strollometer and the instruction manual includes a ruler to help measure wheel size. It is patent pending in the US and worldwide.

The Strollometer is distinctive in its contemporary design, and is available in three color combinations: black/green, black/lavender, blue/black.

The Strollometer is available in the US and Canada through many fine retailers including: amazon, target.com, giggle, buy buy Baby, babystyle, joggingstroller.com and babiesrus.com. The MSRP is $45.95.
