Light Your Stroller’s Way

by Alison - on January 3rd, 2013

For anyone who has taken a stroller out at night you will attest to the challenges. First of all get baby or child in and bundled up. Then play defense as you walk and attempt to determine if drivers or pedestrians can see you coming. Alerting others to your location certainly helps avoid disasters.

Jacootie Light wants to light your way when you take the little ones for a stroll. These headlight-like gadgets easily attach just about anywhere on your stroller. A quick release bracket means you can move them or take them when on-the-go. Each Jacootie Light contains 5 white LED bulbs. With 3 AAA batteries (not included) expect 100,000 hours of life. And the lights are water resistant â€" so no, you lose your excuse of walking in the rain or snow. With this luminance you will easily be noticed by anyone nearby. Adding a Jacootie Light essentially gives you the difference of driving with and without headlights in your car. In that respect it seems silly not to have them on any stroller. Get your Jacootie Light on their website for just $10.95 for one or $15.95 for two, plus $5 shipping. If you are parent in the stroller years I would highly recommend lighting your way. And if you know someone who is or soon will be in the stroller phase Jacootie Light makes a perfect, and thoughtful, gift.

In the run up to the International Consumer Electronics Show CG wants to keep you informed of the hot products. The Best of Innovations winner in the Software & Mobile Apps category proves to change how we think about our iPhone case. Admit it, the phone is an extension of us. As you are unique and individual, your case should be too!

Sculpteo, a France-based company, took this need for individuality and the process of making a cool case and combined them to come up with 3DPCase â€" short for 3D Printed Case. Their website and app enable iPhone 3G, 4, 4S and 5 users choose and customize their own case. For example, their Shadow Profile case lets you upload two profile pictures, say you and your significant other, which get cut into the case. Or maybe you just want an image engraved on your case. No problem. There are plenty of pre-designed cases too. You simply select the image, colors and optional text. And don’t forget, as the name says the cases are 3D. You will feel the texture of your creation everytime you use the phone. So do they work? Of course. Units are all made of polyamide like many off-the-shelf cases. No worries. It keeps your phone protected. Cases start at €29.90 (about $39.50) plus shipping. Production typically takes 2-3 days. If you really want that iPhone extension of you to stand out and express your personality customize it yourself with 3DPCase.
