We had no idea which one to buy, and we felt like we were drowning in a sea of unnecessary details. That's a common experience, according to Ted Iobst, the founder of Colugo, a baby brand that launches today. And he's trying to make this a thing of the past. He's designed a single stroller that is lightweight, easy to use, and costs a fraction of what competitors charge by selling it on a beautiful, easy-to-navigate website, rather than through a big-box store.
