Anything involving wheels is bound eventually to attract the attention of the male of the species. Now, the baby stroller, is beginning to capture the imagination of men in a big way. A generation of strollers with sophisticated enginering, sleek designs and un-nursery-like colors (from black to "racing yellow") has emerged, allowing dads compare notes about wheel suspension and off-road handling with a reverence once reserved for expensive sports cars.
You can buy a stroller for as little as $10, but many of the cool-looking models retail for over $300.
Since the U.S. birth rate is generally flat, the stroller industry can not expect a growth in profit by adjusting the quantity provided. Instead, they develop new high-end models that can be charged very high prices to earn more profits with limited sales. Obviously, the market for strollers is pretty different from perfectly competitive market.
