What's this? Two Garbagems posts in under 24 hours? Unprecedented!

That stroller in the second image seems practical as well. Perfect for those who have a baby or any other crap they may need to push around. It's basically an ergonomic wheelbarrow with safety features.


I also found this nearby:

Just lovely.
