Ok, so maybe not a million, but if I had to make a stroller wish list without regard to cost, storage options, or the fact that I would be throwing other perfectly good strollers away, this is what it would be for our family (mom, dad, a two-year-old, and a 3-month-old)…
1) Two Maclaren Triumphs for the car. I hate transferring strollers into and out of my car. I would keep a single version and a double version folded up in my car for shopping trips. Sometimes I only need one child in the stroller, sometimes I need both. Having both of these strollers folded up at all times in my car would help me get out of the house faster because they would always be there and I wouldn’t have to decide which one to use until I am actually at my destination. The Maclarens are superior to other umbrella strollers because pushing a 35lb toddler around is a breeze! You will break your wrists trying to push a toddler in cheaper ripoffs of the Maclaren.
2) Two Baby Jogger City strollers for walks. We walk every day. Our walks involve walking over grass, through mud, and in winter – through snow. The Maclarens are not heavy duty enough for this type of walking. On shorter walks, our two year old likes to walk, so I would only need the single stroller for the baby. On longer walks he likes to sit down, and if we go for our usual 3 hour walk on a Saturday morning, he usually starts his nap in the stroller.
What’s not on my list — my Bugaboo. I wouldn’t buy it again. I will be posting a video review of it shortly on the website, you should be able to read why within the next week.
from Amazon. Today (1:27PM) it arrived. I have never received anything so fast from Amazon before. I only used the free super saver shipping too. Wow! I am amazed.
