So, many cities have bus systems and those bus systems now-a-days are usually GPS equipped for several reasons (notably that a central office can monitor the system and that the busses can announce ADA-compliant stop messages based on location without the driver being involved).

Pre-sealed pocket of wipes; good idea!
The wipes would be warmed by the baby's body heat as well; babies don't like a cold wipe on their tushies.

#120A cradle that updates the baby's facebook page based on decibels, activity, dampness.
That sounds more appropriate for twitter...
