Default Slate article/ratings on high-end strollers

Certainly not an all-encompassing review of available strollers, even at the "high" end, but I thought some of the stroller addicts (I use that term lovingly) on here would find it amusing.

Arivecchi will be sad that there is no MB love - they didn't even try it out!

Ha, obviously a babe in the woods who doesn't read manuals or know about accessories! At least one factual error I caught immediately - the verve has an adjustable handlebar. And what is the second child add-on he refers to for the orbit?

LMAO because all I kept thinking was "Silly, rookie, leave the reviews to the pros!"

Yup. I think he had a baby in the fall, because I think I remember him reviewing newborn equipment gadgets for the NY Times around the time DD was a newborn. Even after only being a parent for a couple of months, I was like "What??? Even I know better than this."

As I read the stroller piece, I kept thinking "amateur!"

ETA: Here was his NYT piece about baby gadgets:
