RE: Having more than one stroller...
OHMIGOD! My mother had been going on and on about the Wondachair she had for me when I was little. "It was a bassinett, a stroller, and a high chair, all in one! And only cost $150, a lot of money back then, but nothing like the $700 you want to spend on a Bugaboo!"
She will be delighted to know that these rarified creations are still out there. You must include a picture! I'm dying to see one.
Thanks, as always, for the laughs.

RE: Having more than one stroller...
Your mom is right. It is so retro, and so totally cool. It's starts out as a pram, but then has the wonderful twist of Yankee ingenuity. But it's more than the things you mentioned. They claim it's 15 different baby items! Let's see, the pram, bassinette on a stand, bassinette on a rocker, stroller, car seat, high chair, feeding chair, table and chair, rocking chair, desk set...hmmm, I can't figure out the rest.
There is a similar one on Ebay right now, but I'm not sure if it has all the pieces. There are many that have been separated. I do see them being auctioned off as prams or strollers, but most people don't know what they are. I just liked the fact that this one had everything intact, and in mint condition. Hard to find.
I do wonder about the price your mom mentions, though. I think it was higher. Could SHE be fudging on how much SHE rally spent? LOL! The Wonda' CHair was the Bugagoo of it's day!
RE: Having more than one stroller...
Yeah, you and me BOTH are worrying about that! But how do I breach the subject with hubby? "Dear, I really want another stroller, so we simply MUST have another baby to put in it!" Think that'll go over big?
