Anybody seen any good deals here in the great white north/

MEC does have a twice-yearly swap at their store, but it's a real zoo and some folks price stuff way too high. I prefer to watch the online swap, which runs all the time. Go to www.mec.ca and click on Outdoor Gear Swap, then Kids, to see kid-related gear. I just picked up a mint-condition MEC snowsuit and rainsuit for next year that way.

Cheers,

Well congratulations! We had a dilema with strollers too. I am very active and wanted something I could do everything with. We wanted something that I could jog with and attach to a bike, but that wasn't as big as the house. The Chariot Cougar was the way to go. It's fabulous and made here in Calgary. It folds down to nothing and the big wheels have a cool mechanism that takes them on and off in seconds, for storing in the trunk. You can even attach x country skis to it! They have a website. http://www.chariotcarriers.com/
