-BabyBjörn Synergy Baby Carrier–Top 1% Buzzillions.com http://www.buzzillions.com/dz_404894_babybj_rn_baby_bjorn_synergy_carrier_reviews This carrier is the clear winner. With close to 600 reviews and a near perfect rating, customers can’t say enough about this product. -Maclaren Kate Spade Carrier—Bottom 10% Buzzillons.com http://www.buzzillions.com/dz_335411_maclaren_kate_spade_carrier_reviews Many of the people reviewing this carrier bought it for the designer name and stylish design but realized quickly that looks can be deceiving. The number one complaint with this carrier is that fact that it’s difficult to put on and has too many straps.-

Small, lightweight size w/a 1.8″ color LCD Screen , 900 MHz technology for superior clarity and range , 350′ range , Night vision to see baby in dark room ; Rechargeable battery lasts up to 10 hours ; Power saver feature times out after 3 minutes

-Tiny Love Symphony-in-Motion Mobile—Top 1% Buzzillions.com http://www.buzzillions.com/dz_696560_tiny_love_symphony_in_motion_mobile_reviews The winner—it combines 3 different movements and motions, not just the usual circular motion, to captivate and stimulate baby.

The show hasn’t even opened yet and I’m seeing some very cool stuff–voice controlled remote control–bluetooth sunglasses–night vision camera for your car–HP has an amazing touch screen notebook, sort of like the iPhone meets the PC–I even saw a cell phone from Motorola made from recycled water bottles (and when it comes out it will be cheap–about $50)

So if you are looking to find me–check out the floor of CES this week (Jan 6-10) Its about the size of 3 football fields filled with tech toys. I’m the guy the with tired feet. When I get back I’ll let you know what cool stuff I found.
