Should I sell my BJCC? I probably need to since I never use it anymore. But I just can't seem to bring myself to do it. It's my only AT stroller. It stays in one corner of my living room, not really in the way. But I can feel it looking at me...asking me to use it! I really enjoy pushing it, and it's a fabulous stroller.

I have a 5 year old and 13 month old. I got the girls a radio flyer wagon for Christmas that I got for the purpose of pulling them to the park, the water part (both within walking distance of my house), to the zoo, etc. I've started working out at our gym, so I don't use it for walks anymore.

But I usually take it to the zoo/parks/outdoor places. Since my 5 year old is starting kindergarden in the fall, if I go to the zoo, I will only have DD2 with me. So there may come a time when I will use it again. Both of my kids LOVE riding in the stroller - they are my stroller divas.

Would you sell it, or would you keep until for a few more years until DD2 is totally out of the stroller phase? We are not having any more children.

If you would sell it, what would you sell it for? It's in excellent condition. I have a belly bar and SK caddy on it. It's black/tan.

I have a BJCM, and currently a Triumph, but am planning on selling that and getting a G-Luxe. So if I did get rid of this stroller, I would not have an AT. But the areas where I walk have smooth sidewalks, and I see people pushing BJCMs on their walks all the time.

ETA: Just by writing this out, I think I have decided to keep it. Just wondering what others would do. I definitely have the space for it. It stays unfolded in my house, but if needed, I could put it in my garage as well no problem.

I think once DD1 is in school you will need an AT again. A wagon is great but kind of a pain to pull around at the zoo. Plus it doesn't offer shade in this crazy heat. If you sell your BJCC you can always buy something in the fall to try something new.

No way! Keep it! You will need it as the kids get older/heavier!

:yeahthat: There will also be times when you will really, really want to have an AT stroller.

I'm scratching my head...don't lots of people start shopping for an AT when their baby's about that old? I think you'll start using it now that spring is here. Does your older DC ride a bike? We use our AT strollers to chase after bike riders right now.

I think I'm just in a purging mood. I'm getting ready to sell our Nilo Table as well - it gets ZERO use. I won't be selling the Classic though. I like it too much! Plus I am probably about to use it this week to go to the zoo! :)

phew...that was a close call! I bet if you sold it you'd be looking for another one down the road.

The zoo is crazy right now...field trips daily until the end of the school year. Make sure you go early. They are also renovating the old giraffe/elephant area so the left side of the zoo doesn't have much to see right now.

How's the new Africa part? Yeah, I was planning on getting there around opening time. It's cooler, less crowded, and we can leave around lunchtime. We are going on Thursday - high is 82, so if we are there in the am, it should be pretty nice. Hopefully the animals will cooperate. We have a membership and I need to take advantage of it before it gets blistering hot!! Then this summer we will utilize our Children's museum membership!!

The new section is great! And the baby giraffe is so adorable! I find it best to head there first...it's less crowded and then you can go back to see the cats and bears. The kids love too how close the animals are and how they can wave at them!
