Only ONE!
Okay, so Judy wants to know if I could have only ONE stroller (I feel faint at that very thought!lol), what would it be. Well, really, it's a question of lifestyle. If you're someone like me who uses a stroller daily, your needs are different than someone else who maybe drives everywhere and only ever needs a stroller for trips to the mall and such. Anyhow, if you're someone who does do a lot of walking and shopping in your neighbourhood, then I think you really need 2 strollers - a big neighbouhood one and a small lightweight one to keep in the trunk of your car to use for visits to friends, vacations, trips to the mall, etc. For a lightweight umbrella stroller, I love the Maclarens and the new Silver Cross umbrellas,which are very similar to the Maclarens. For a heavyweight, pray you never have to try to stuff it into the trunk of your car stroller, I do like the big Pegs - you can't beat the basket - it's not actually a basket but a wire platform below the stroller which will fit every beach bag, sandtoy and cooler you want to bring along with you!lol It'll practically be too heavy to push, but you can fit it all in. I just wish the front wheels swiveled to make them easier to maneuver...hopefully on the new models,they do! If I REALLY had to only have one stroller, I'd pick the Peg Perego P3 - (not the P3 light). It's small enough to easily fit into the back of a car, but it still has a comfy seat with a full recline, a snack and drink holder, a cup holder for mommy and a rather small but workable basket...to me, the P3 is a cross between a neighbourhood and lightweight umbrella. Also, DH is 6 foot 5 and I'm 5 foot 5 and it's hard to find a stroller that is comfortable for both of us. The Peg has extendable handles and Maclarens have high handles so that we can both push without discomfort.
