Like a lot of you out there, I am up in arms about what kind of stroller to purchase. I would really appreciate some advice from you seasoned vets out there...
*I live on a military base that does not have sidewalks and the road in almost as bumpy as gravel. I liked the travel systems because they seemed to have the most shock absorption and to be sturdier. But, I have read so many negative comments about their quality that I am very concerned about buying one and wasting money (plus they are VERY heavy). I have considered the higher end models (Perego and Combi) that have the option of attaching a car seat to a specially purchased bar, but will these provide enough shock absorption?? We will also be using the stroller for shopping, and since neither my husband, nor I (nor our car) are very big, stroller size and weight are a factor. I have also considered the Snap and Go, but I also worried about the bumpiness. Quality and value are of course also very important to me.*
Help! Meanwhile, I will just wait for the stroller fairy to pop in to tell me what to buy...what other choice do I have, I am utterly perplexed!
Any advice?????????
