Please list your strollers, the age of your kiddos and what you use each stroller for!

Here's my info.

Ages: DS1 - 3yo and DS2 - 15 mo

1) Valco Trimode with Hitch Hiker - used for DS1 and DS2: used for long walks with either kiddo or short walks when DS1 just wants to hop on the HH

2) Baby Jogger City Classic Double: work horse - used with both kids to go to parks, zoo, long walks, beach, quick errands to drugstore or supermarket, day-long outings, subway train during non-rush hours

3) Maclaren Triumph: used with both kiddos for travel, public transportation, restaurants, car

4) First Years Indigo: used for short walks, quick errands and trips to Starbucks (:love-retry:) with DS2, will likely use it for the car as well

1) BJCMD - we use it for everything. In and out of the car for errands, walking around the city, and on airplane trips.

2) Chicco umbrella stroller - used twice when S had a doctor's appointment w/out D.

I don't know how I never got into the whole stroller obsession. I'm such a shopper, and love buying baby stuff, but I just never thought about needing more than one stroller. Maybe because the girls didn't really get out of the house for the first 8ish months of their lives?

DDs are 23 months + 2 days. :)

ETA: love your new avatar OP ;)

1 DD, a tiny 7 months.

1. Mac ET, really only used for running errands when I am in and out of the car and multiple stores and I don't want to take DD in and out of her carseat. Also used for restaurants instead of putting the carseat ontop of a highchair.

2. BJCM. Used for basically everything else. Walks around the neighborhood and to the park, shopping when we'll be out of the car for a long time (ie, the mall), forsee using it for the zoo, amusement parks, other outings.

Soon to be #3: First Years Indigo, for use for everything #1 is used for and also the mall.

Before DD was born, I searched and researched and searched some more for the 1 do-it-all stroller. I was determined that I would not have multiple strollers clogging up my garage. In the end I could not find a do-it-all that met my criteria (size, weight, function) so I ended up with the Mac ET and the BJCM. Now, I can't wait to get a new one and I'm pshawing the whole "we don't have enough room" thing.

I have a just turned 9mo old today!! :bighand: and an 8 year old.

Graco Snap N Go that is waiting to go on CL. Loved it. Used it for all appointments, restaurants and quick in and out shopping until about 6 months. Good-bye my friend. :waving4:

Bumbleride Flyer This is was my car stroller and walking stroller from 1 month old. Love the reversible handle and once DD was about 5 months, she could sit up 90 degrees in the seat and hold onto the bumber bar and thought she was hot stuff. She absolutely loves this stroller the most. But it is bulky in the car and has a long footprint because of the handle.

Peg Perego Si I purchased this after getting sick of the Flyer's fold and wanted something a little easier to steer and weave in and out of restaurants/stores. I love this stroller but DD still loves the Flyer more. So guess which one is still in my car? ;) Hoping to CL the Flyer soon and keep this in my car full time.

Baby Jogger City Elite This is my "home" stroller so I do not have to take my "car" stroller out and forget it. This also leaves a stroller at home for DH if he is taking DD somewhere. The fold is so easy so I take it to local parks, outdoor events and will be walking to the pool with it. DD and I both love this stroller.

Maclaren Volo I am guessing it is a 2003. We bought it for Disney World for my now 8yr old and loved it so much we kept it. At the time I paid $110 for it and it came with the universal holder, rain cover, pad for the seat and a bag. Is sitting and waiting for DD to use when she doesn't need a recline and for all our airport travel.

DS is 4 months. we just have a BJCM that we got a few weeks ago. that is our only stroller. we have a Snugrider we used with the infant seat but in a matter of days it won't be used anymore as we will be installing the Radian in our car (DS is a tall 17lb, 26" four-month-old)

up until a couple months ago, i hated strollers. i didn't like how bulky they were. though ever since coming to this site i have stroller lust :) and am already considering my next one! i really want a BOB though can't justify it right now as i don't go out and walk that often. a BJCE would be nice too but i'd have to see if it fits in our only car (a Camry).

DD: 4 yrs, 2 months
DS: 10 months today

zooper waltz: the stroller I bought when DD was born, but rarely used it for her (because she was a stroller hater until she was 2.5). Used it with DS as a travel system (put the Graco Snugride in it). I'm going to sell this on CL or at a garage sale soon. I hate the push and the fold.

maclaren volo: again left over from DD. car and travel stroller. works for both kids.

BJCE: for walks around the neighborhood with DS and other outdoorsy things (zoo, walks elsewhere.) I bought a hitchhiker to go with it, but I don't like it (DD would rather sit in the footwell) and I will try to sell it.

BJCED: should arrive today. DD loves to ride in the stroller, and I plan to use this for walks around the neighborhood, trips to the zoo, amusement park, etc.

DS- 2 1/2
DD- 12 months

BJCMD- longer days out (rare) and the odd neighborhood walk (although our new double wagon seems it will be used from that now on as it's easier to get them in)

Joovy Kooper- coming tomorrow, keep in car for everyday use with my 12 month old, sometimes my 2 1/2 year old might ride, very rare though! use it for the park, errands, etc, toddler walks

Just returned my single bjcm as i wanted to try something new, hoping the kooper is as great as it looks online! got it for $139 shipped in black :)

DD1-4; DD2-almost 3 weeks

Maclaren Triumph: going to go to Grandma's so we'll have a stroller handy for her house

Uppa Baby Vista: currently using bassinet as DD2s bed, and for walks in the neighborhood, and the carseat adaptor for quick trips in and out of store and drs. office.

Dreamer Design single jogger: sitting in garage, but will get use in a couple of weeks when I start going to Stroller Strides classes with DD2, and then will get use for neighborhood walks.

Maclaren Techno XLR: this stroller lives in the trunk of my car, but we haven't used it much yet; just once last week at Home Depot because it was narrower than the Vista and easier to manuever in the garden area. This will most likely be our work horse stroller for errands, mall, public transportation (although we don't use it that much), and maybe Disneyland/theme parks, but we really want a double jogger for that and neighborhood walks with both kids+ dog.

DD 3 years 2 months
DS 1 year

1)MBUS- use for outdoor malls, basically places where DD can walk or jump on the very front of the stroller. I wish we could use this more. I used it a ton with DD before DS.

2)BOB Duallie- for long walks with both kids. Love the push, especially when pushing both kids. Also comes to malls or any other wide open venues. It's freakin huge though.

3) P3- probably gets the most use. We take this one for traveling to Disneyland, or any quicker trips where DD can walk. Folds great and goes into the car.

4) Volo- For traveling, quick trips. Starting to use this a bit more over the P3 actually.

DD - 6 Months

Graco Mosaic: Kept in the car. Used for EVERYTHING. Mostly shopping and walks around the block but occasionally we do go downtown which requires parking in a parking garage and walking 10+ blocks (its not great for that but it does the job)

One DD - 9.5 months

Vista - almost everything, walks in the neighborhood, long shopping days when I need a huge basket. Absolutely love the rear-facing feature.

Maclaren Quest - quick errands

BJCE - sits in our garage, may sell it or may keep it until DD gets older. Bought from a friend for a great deal, so not stressing about the money spent on it.

DD turned 2 last week. We live in NYC so pretty much always have a stroller when we leave the apt.

Uppa Baby Vista - use for everything except when I need to take a taxi, subway or bus or know in advance that I need to squeeze into crowded spaces or small stores.

Silver Cross Fizz - whenever I don't use the Vista.

Mac Quest - at grandma's house.

DD 6 months

1) Baby Trend Snap and Go. Used for shopping, travelling neighbourhood walks when DD was born and on public transportation. Getting a bit squeaky and wobbly so it's almost time for it to go into retirement.:cry:

2) BJCE - bought during the crazy DC snowstorms this year. Use it mainly for neighbourhood walks, visits to the zoo, outdoorsy stuff. Not crazy about how wide it is, but love the push. I come and go on it. Some days I love it, other days I'd love to get rid of it and get a MBUS, Bumbleride Indie or a Phil and Teds.

3) BJCM - my 'do everything' stroller. This is the one we take away on vacation with us. It goes to the mall, on supermarket runs and on the Metro. Haven't flown with it yet - that will be the real test.

Well, I am practically stroller free :( The only one still being use is the Phil & Ted E3V2. DH just walked to the store with DD last night and took the stroller. Prior to that I don't think we had a stroller ride in 1.5 months?!

The stable remains though:
- Made in UK Maclaren Vogue (I think) in Marie Claire
- Bebecar Unibig (my first and favourite real stroller)
- Kelty Joyrider 20" (it is super compact when folded and we take it camping for hiking)

In the past year, I have given away a Maclaren Twin Traveller (probably used it a dozen times in the 5 years I owned it) and a Quinny Zapp (ditto).

I have a 1 yo and 4 yo.

I'm actually embarrased to state how many strollers I currently have and how little I use them. :( I get home too late to use them and on the weekends we've either been on the road or have not gone anywhere I need a stroller.

When I got my tax rebate, my husband won the best hubby award by letting me purchase how ever many strollers I wanted (isn't he the best??) as long as I stayed within the budget. I was able to get 4 high end strollers in addition to what I had - soo embarassed, but I really wanted to be able to try them all out.

BJC Mini - which I use regularly with my 1 yo when we go out

BJ Summit - use it exclusively in our neighborhood for exercise (which hasn't happened recently :( ) I have a jump seat for it, but haven't used it in awhile.

Bugaboo Bee - switch between this and the Mini, but the Mini has been getting more use.

Bugaboo Frog - have only used it 2 times since purchasing several months ago. :(

BJ Select and 2010 Vista - my GF and I decided to go in together. She purchased the Vista and I purchased the Select. I much prefer the Select over the Vista, but both have only been used a handful of times.

Snap n Go and Inglesina Trip - haven't seen daylight in years.

DS- will be 3 next month.

BJCM- bought this past September, so DS was nearing the end of stroller days and maybe it wasn't the best move to buy even though I really like it. This is the stroller we use for indoor stuff (mall, etc) or for travel. Just wish I had bought it sooner.

Baby Trend Expedition- jogging stroller. Of course, I don't jog. But, this is what we use for walks around the neighborhood. Bought it when DS was a wee one. It's bulky to close up (hence the BJCM purchase) and we sometimes have problems with the front wheel getting loose. But overall, not bad for an inexpensive stroller. There were many a day when I wished I had just spent the money and bought a Bob instead.

The strollers that are no longer with us:
Snap and Go for infant seat- We used it a lot when DS was a baby. lent it to a friend and it broke.

Britax Esprit- for a company that makes excellent car seats, this stroller was a dud. Little, folded up nicely, but a far cry from a Maclaren, which is what it would compete with. It was a cheapo stroller though. I got it on sale for $60, and I sold it for $35, so I can't really complain.

Right now we have one in each car, 3 in the dining room (which we hardly use), and the ones that don't get used at all in the utility room. I really need to sell some.
My hubby is regretting agreeing to my spending spree since we have NO space, but too late! hahaha. He didn't think the $$ would go so far. After all these years he should have known my bargain hunting abilities. ;)

I have a 2.75 year old DD and almost 1 year old DS.

We have:

Phil & Teds Sport w/ doubles kit - I use this whenever going straight from the house and/or for longer walks.

Maclaren Twin Traveller (got used off Craigslist for approximately $0.02) - use for car trips mainly. I regretted this purchase for a while but I like having it now. I can fit more in the back of the car with this one vs. the Phil & Teds, the kids like sitting next to each other (usually).

Silver Cross Fizz - lives in the back of my car and used for everything else.

ETA: The benchwarmers

Maclaren Easy Traveller (stroller frame) - I was so sad the day we had to retire this and the infant seat...

Combi Cosmo - will put this one in the next resale

Kids are 6, 4 and 22 months.

1. Chicco Tuscany from 2004. It is my car stroller and goes to the bus stop twice a day.

2. Baby Jogger City Series Double from 2006. Was used extensively over the winter to the bus stop. I think I'll sell this one in a year or so.

3. Joovy Caboose. Hard to get into the car and DD mostly walks now, so it's not used much these days.

I used to have a 2004 Snap N Go that I loved, but I sold it last summer.

DD: Age 4, hasn't been in a stroller since 15 months or so (which made trips to the zoo sucky when she was 2-3, since she refused to ride).

DS: Just turned 1

All of these were purchased for DD, and I think this is the first time I have even been in this forum since I got my MBUS. I have been nurturing my carseat addiction since it was more practical and I *needed* so many seats.

1. Mac Quest: my travel/throw into DH's car when we'll need something stroller.

2. Peg Venezia: My first and my work horse that stays in my car. LOVE the reversible handle, which was fairly unique in 2005 when I got it. Has been very dependable. If I were in the market now, though, this is the one I would replace. It's in awesome shape though since DD hated the stroller once she could walk and we switched to a puppy harness.

3. MBUS: Love it and it's our walking to the park and around the neighborhood stroller. DD will ride her bike or scooter and DS is happy as can be in it. Soon he'll be old enough to go in the wagon, which is the only thing DD will occasionally ride in.

1) Chicco Cortina - car stroller (travel system with Keyfit30 when younger)

2) Snap 'n Go - air travel and 2nd car stroller

3) BJ Summit XC - neighborhood walks and off-roading on gravel/dirt trails

DS: 2 years 8 months
DD: 8 months

Graco Snugrider and Graco Quatro Tour Deluxe were from my registry. I still love the Snugrider to this day. It lives in the trunk of the Camry. It helped me through DS and now DD.
Graco Quatro stayed at home and we use it for walking around the neighborhood with DS. It is good for bumpy rides because of the big wheels especially during fall season when all the spiky balls from liquid amber trees cover the sidewalk. We've taken this on a 5K benefit walk for Multiple Myeloma around Golden Gate and was pretty impressed at how comfortable the ride was for my son; through grass, gravel & sand, and soft earth. It now stays at grandparents' house for same purpose but for DD this time.
Sit n' Stroll is a 5 in 1 stroller: stroller, rear facing carseat, forward facing carseat, booster seat, & FAA certified flight seat. We did not want to lug around a stroller and a carseat at airport and destination when DS was 7 mos. old so we decided on this one. Worked very well and my son is very happy in it. We have not used it since but we will be using soon for DD as 2nd carseat in one of the cars.
Zooper Twist is our everyday stroller with DS for the mall, theme parks, etc. as long as it doesn't involve LONG uneven paved walks. Although I have taken this stroller a number of times on our neighborhood walks and has held up very, very well. It lives in the back of my trunk along side the Snugrider. I love the napper canopy! It can be pulled down all the way (when seat is in upright most position) to keep baby from sun. My son's feet are the only part of his body that is exposed. No complaints on the performance of my Twist. I still use this quite often with DS and DD is with grandma.
Peg Perego GT3 (John Deere) since I can't jog with the Quatro or the Twist, we got this brand new for $150. It's a steal! It stays at home too because it does not fold well enough to fit in the back of the Camry. I used it with DS and now DD too.
After DD arrived we purchased the Tike Tech CityX3 Swivel Twin. This has been our stroller since DD was born and we use this on a regular basis wherever we go whenever we have both kids. Love, love, love the smooth ride and push even with the uneven weight. DD always falls asleep here. DS loves the ride.
Soon a BJ City Select to replace the Graco Snugrider and Twist and will primarily reside in the trunk of the Camry so I can take both children out on my own without having to break my back taking the Tike Tech. It wouldn't be so bad if I have my gas guzzler with the big opening in the back so I could just lift and slide the Tike Tech in the back. Oh well, we'll see how the BJ City Select performs with the uneven weight.

Whew! This is crazy, did not realize I have this many strollers.

My Info-
DD1-6 yrs. DD2- 16 months

My Strollers-
-Maclaren Triumph- my car stroller, travel stroller, errands stroller, mall stroller, my almost do everything stroller, bought it when DD1 was 12 months and is still perfect 5yrs. later for DD2
-BOB SUS-- my running stroller
-BJCM--my sit in the basement until I can sell it stroller, don't really like it (except for the awesome canopy), only really used it with DD2 until she was about 8 months.

Ages: DS1 - 2yrs, 11mos. DS2 - 13mos.
1) bob revolution duallie - used most of the time. walks around neighborhood and to the park. walking at the beach. we also use it for trips to the zoo and other "field trips". ds1 likes to walk a lot, but easily tires if it's more than a quick trip. it moves from shed to car quite frequently. when my dcp (who comes to my home and is also my backyard neighbor) uses the stroller we have a valco hitchhiker. her dd is 12mos old and rides next to my ds2. ds1 rides on the hitchhiker and LOVES it.

2)baby jogger city mini - we keep this in the trunk all the time or in the living room (less than ideal, but no garage). i really thought that i would use it more. kind of a waste, don't tell dh. i only use it when i am with other people. i get nervous going from parking lot to store with ds1 walking (meanwhile, he is like glue to me, i really have no need to worry, but...)


i would say that the duallie is used almost all the time in every situation. i prefer to have ds1 ride until he is super safe to walk. parking lots etc. i just BOB!!! :bouncy:

05-18-2010, 09:10 PM
DS--almost 8 months

1) BJCC--used at home mostly. We don't have sidewalks, and there is a large park with wooded trails just 5 minutes down the road.

2) Chicco liteway--used for the mall and quick trips, etc.

3) Valco Rad w/ air tire--just purchased it and it hasn't arrived as of yet. This should really fulfill my desire of an affordable reversible stroller, especially since I'll be able to use it at home for walks. It might replace the BJCC if I really like it, but I'm not selling the BJCC until I'm really, really sure that's what I want to do.


I've had a Snap n Go--bought used and exchanged at the BRU trade-in sale, and still have a used Peg Venezia and Bebe Confort Loola which were my previous attempts to get a reversible that I liked. I finally realized that I needed a stroller that I could comfortably use everywhere--not just the mall. The Venezia and the Loola are on CL and if they don't sell soon, they're going to the local consignment shop. I'm literally hiding the Rad from DH until I get rid of the other two.

DS - 10 months old

Graco Quattro - bought as part of a travel system before DS arrived, when I was clueless about strollers. Was my only for the first 2 months for walks and outings, now at grandma's house. Loved the basket & parent console though, but that's about it.

Graco SnugRider - used for dr. appts., quick errands where I didn't want to keep taking DS in and out of the carseat, restaurants before DS could sit up on his own. It still in my trunk, sometimes I have to park kind of far from the house, and its so convenient to pop the carseat on, and put my bags in it so I don't have to carry everything.

Tike Tech City X3 - for long walks in town, shopping at a nearby plaza, taking to parks, zoo, hiking trails, just about any outdoor excursion.

First Years Indigo - for long walks on paved paths, mall, usually keep in car trunk also.

Currently I have one stroller, a 2010 Uppababy Vista. I am expecting the BJCM to be delivered on Friday! So I think two strollers for one baby is good with us. Our son is 4 months old.

DD is 18 mos, DS is 4.

1. Mac Volo. Lives in my trunk. Hardly used all. DS doesn't ride in the stroller any more when we're out, and DD rarely does. She's a tiny little thing (barely 20 lbs), so if she gets tired, I'll just carry her or sling her. She'd rather walk.

2. BOB Rev (single) - used a few times per week for runs/walks w/DD on board. Love this stroller. Love love love.

3. BOB Rev (duallie) - used once a week or so for walks w/both kids, but use getting less frequent. DS can still squeeze in, though his head now touches the canopy, and he mostly doesn't want to ride. I'm keeping this one at least through the summer, since we are about 1 mi from the pool, and I'd like to walk there as much as possible. DS is a pretty fast walker these days, but it's nice to have the option for him to ride in case he's tired after swimming. And if he doesn't ride, I can use the extra seat for all our pool stuff. :)

The BOBs have made it possible for me to keep my sanity through exercise when I am on my own with both kids. I love them!

DD1 - 6 years
DD2 - 3.5 years
DD3- 14 months

Inglesina Zippy - our 1st stroller Used a lot when we had only 1 and with each baby because we could use the infant seat with it. Doesn't get too much use anymore.

Baby Jogger - Used for running when I only had one. And now just use for the beach.

Phil and Teds E3 with doubles kit - use this one the most! love it!

Maclaren Volo - for quick trips or traveling.

4yo, 2.5yo, 1yo

1. Bugaboo Cameleon - used as bassinet, now with seat, often also with wheeled board. Stays in van for times when we need to be narrow - restaurants (serves as seat for DS2 - just wheel him up to the table.)
2. BJCED - workhorse, stays in van also - all outdoor adventures to parks, museums, stores, outdoor vacations longer than 3 days
3. Triumph - DH keeps in his car - when he goes out with 1 DC to do errands, flying, going to the beach and we have extra adults to hold hands - otherwise, we need a double
4. BJCMD - DH keeps in his car -sometimes flying when we're doing short trips to the tiny zoo near my mom's, children's museums, etc. (really prefer the Elite for heavy duty walking - like Disney in the fall, etc.)
5. BJ Q-Series triple - around the neighborhood, to the parks nearby (across highway), when we have friends along with us.

Bike trailer - Burley d'lite - obviously as a bike trailer, but we also LOVE for the beach - bags in the back, DC in the front, shaded.

*ERGO and SH Pronto go in the bottom of the stroller EVERY time. Someone always needs to be able to be carried out hands free. That and having the right stroller are the keys to my sanity with 3 DC close together.

DD - 4.5 years
DS - 17 mos

2008 Peg Perego Pliko (P3) - My car stroller, and usually my walk in the neighborhood stroller since the BJ is upstairs (see below)

2007.5 BJ City Classic Single - Lives on our second floor. If DS is having a rough night sleeping (he's a roller, need to be still) we'll put him in the room with us in his stroller. Sleeps well in it.

2008 BJ City Elite Double - Lives in our garage. I've used it maybe 4 times at the zoo. Will probably hit Craigslist soon.

2007 Maclaren Volo - Lives in the storage room now. Will probably use for DS when he gets older, though I don't know...we really like the P3 and didn't have it for DD. The BJCSS was her everyday stroller, so we needed a lighter weight umbrella for travel. It may be craigslisted too.

DS almost 15 months:
1. Snugrider stroller frame - need to put on Craigslist.
2. Peg Perego Milano XL - bought off Craiglist as advised by my sister - hate it! Need to put on CL.
2. Maclaren Global Buggy - (CL) - love it - it is our indoor stroller. It has a catseat adaptor which was great for flying w/DS's SR32 when he was 10 months.
3. Maclaren Mac3 - (CL) - All terrain stroller - Our outdoor stroller - does great over bumpy sidewalks & "off road" - small basket.

DS 2.5 years and new baby coming in August. I am adding in pricing to attempt to justify this crazy amount of strollers!

1. Maclaren Techno XT (our travel, museum and restaurant stroller, purchased new online for $199 - - I think the triumph/quest might be better for limited, urban travel but we travel 6-10 times per year and the xt can deal with the occasional cobblestone or stretch of grass and extreme heat/sun due to sunshade)

2. Baby Jogger Mini (nanny's preferred stroller, good for targeted walks to places in neighborhood; purchased new via amazon for amazing deal of $139).

3. Maclaren Volo (I don't really feel the love for this one but we need a backup stroller we can keep in our condo and haul down three flights of stairs and the volo is it; $120 including add-on kit).

4. Bob Revolution Duallie (purchased with everyone's help here in excellent used condition, 2 years old for $150)

** And hoping to add a single stroller with air tires to the "stable" for when DS is at preschool and I want to do longer power walks with the new baby. Not sure if I can justify this . . .

DS - almost 7 months

1) Graco Mosaic - used with our SR32 when DS was younger and used currently without the SR as our mall stroller and for smaller, indoor spaces

2) 2010 BJCE - our primary stroller for outings, outdoor use, and neighborhood walks. DH can use this stroller and not the Mosaic, so if he's along, we generally use this one.

We also have an Ergo which I use quite often with DS, especially at the grocery store and for quick errands.

1. Graco Snugrider - Bought it because baby was coming and I couldn't make up my mind!! Kept in the car for quick trips for about 4 months. Going to a yard sale.

2. Bugaboo Bee - Bought it because I wanted to keep the reverse option in a lightweight stroller. This lives in my car and I use it for quick trips and shopping, restaurants, movie theaters. This one sees the most action.

3. Peg Perego Skate - Use for long outings because of the 2 n1 bassinet/seat feature. It's super comfy and holds a lot, has tons of features. Will probably sell on CL because my Switch is starting to fill in this gap, and I want a Vista :wink2:

4. Inglesina Zippy- I bought this off of CL for $30 as a babysitter/grandparent/hubby stroller. He likes this one the most because it was the cheapest.

5. Cybex Onyx- Not sure yet!!! Waiting to get it :-)

6. Peg Switch - I bought it for DW, theme parks and zoos where we need a quick fold for trams and transportation and stuff, but yet a comfy stroller that can reverse for those longer days.

7. Currently hoping for an Indie or BJCE, can't make up my mind and I need/want an AT stroller.

I have had :

BJCC
Kolcraft Contours
Frog
Cameleon X2

Oh look I'm currently stroller less! well strollers that matter less that is.

DS1 - 21 months

Peg Pergo Culla with Bassinet lives in the house. Purchased for DS before he was born. His bed for the first 4 months. Took a few walks around the neighborhood. Great basket. DH says it will be the thing we save forever since we plan for all the kids to use it as their first bed.

Baby Trend Snap n Go sold on CL - purchased used before DS was born. We were given a infant car seat but I only used it when going out in about in MIL's car. We had a convertable in my car. Convinet but DS HATES riding backwards in a stroller, had to buy a stroller so he would ride forward facing. since it was bought used and rarely used sold for the same price I paid.

Peg Perego Pliko P3 sold on CL - kind of hard to sell this one since it was DS's first stroller. The fold was neat. the basket was okay as long as you remebered to access it from the side. Not so great of uneven sidewalks. Sold to make way for a BJCM

Chariot Cougar 2 DH's baby. We have a tandem bike that we bought this for. DS loves riding in it. I love in the good weather I can send DH to the grocery store with DS. DH gets a nice run in and everyone asks him about the wheels.

Baby Jogger City Mini Double returned - purchased in anticipation of DS2. Rode beautifully in the city when we took DS1 out and about the week before DS2.

Baby Jogger City Minireturned - we fell in love with the Baby Jogger city with the double. No longer needing a two seater we got rid of the double and P3 to make room for this one. handed so much better than the P3 did on the sidewalks that I took it everywhere realized I needed something heavy duty, but couldn't justify upgrading. But the front wheel ended up being defected: at first just rattling, then it would lock up and not swivel decided if we were going to return we might as well upgrade

Baby Jogger City Elite waiting anxiously. much heavier than I wanted. would have loved a classic but couldn't get a hold of one. Will see if my want of heavy duty is enough to justify the weight. Also got a steal on the toddler seat so the fact it can be a double for next year makes me happy. I predict that DH and I will "bicker" which stroller goes to the fair grounds this summer will it be the cougar or the elite... lol.

random umberlla stroller One of those free with purchase from Toys r us. our travel stroller. I hate it. I like my kids high up, don't like going shopping at Christmas time and my kid gets smacked in the face with a shopping bag. hasn't happened to DS but I've seen it happen to many times.

DD 15mo

Bugaboo Cameleon - 2009 pink canvas with dark brown base, breezy canopy, cup holder, footmuff, sun canopy, and travel bag... our one and only. we literally used it from day one since it was her bassinet in our room. Goes everywhere with us local, road trips, and air travel.
Mac Quest - Grandparents' car

Oooh, fun!

DS: almost 10 months

Our stable:
Valco Ion. Lives in the car; our everyday stroller. I love this thing. It moves like a fish.

BJCM. Couldn't pass up a CL bargain on this one. It's our travel stroller, lest the baggage orcs bruise my precious Ion. Plus I love imagining myself going through the security line with the 5-second fold.

Baby Jogger II-20. No, not to jog with, heck no. It's for the beach! Alloy frame; got it off CL in mint condition for $15.

Just sold on CL:
Graco Snugrider. I know some people will clutch their pearls with horror at the thought of a child spending extra time in a car seat, but we're not big drivers and he overall spent so little time in the seat that we felt fine about it.

Trying to sell right now:
Baby Jogger II-16. Bought this one off CL for $40 right before I found the II-20. Someone's coming to see it on Sunday and I hope he buys it. DP's patience is wearing thin about all the strollers in the dining room.

Giving away tomorrow:
Teutonia Mistral with all the trimmings. Free to me so I'm passing it on. This is a gorgeous beast of a stroller and if I had a garage I'd keep it for sure. But I don't, so I'm not.

Currently coveting:
A reversible, any reversible that I can wedge into our house and car. The FY Indigo is a real contender. For all I know, DS will hate rear-facing, but I really want to try.

So I have an unexpected change in my line-up. I sold the Valco Trimode today for a good amount of $ and got a great deal on a MB Swift (the Valco sale more than covered my purchase :D). I can't wait to get my new AT stroller!

nice! can't wait to hear what you think of it! it's on my "i might have another baby just to justify purchasing these strollers" list.

I will let you all know how I like the Swift. I :heartbeat: the Valco but I was able to sell it for a good amount with the bassinet and I don't need a stroller with bassinet anymore. A nice family with a new baby can enjoy it now. I got a Swift for $160 off so I should be able to resell it for more than or close to what I bought it for!
