Futuristic baby sling - awesome or ridiculous?

As more of my friends are having children, it’s great to be able to have a chat about parenting stuff and not feel left out. It’s fun to trade ‘war stories’, to trade legitimate advice from actual experience, or at least be a sounding board for a new parent or parent-to-be. I’m especially proud I can confidently recall what to do when the baby poo-‘splosion strikes.

Actually, I secretly like conversing about daily parenting gear; what bags work well with carrying baby stuff and gadgets together, which cars are the most family-friendly, and what kind of new technologies are out there for __kids and parents alike.

Seriously though, it’s pretty crazy out there with the number of options available for travelling around with your mini-me’s. There’s pram-bikes, stroller-skates, and even adult-sized ones you can test-ride yourself!

Now there’s a new baby carrier design you might be able recommend to a fashion-forward (or -sideways), techno-geek mum or dad:

Created by Shir Selinson from the Shenkar College of Engineering and Design, it appears to be a convertible baby sling and baby rocker/carrier, that could fold down to easily fit in a bag. It looks to me like the kind of baby tech my __kids might be use to bring the future grandkids around in.

What do you think? Is it awesome or ridiculous? Would you want to be spotted carrying bub in this futuristic baby sling?
