My Secret shame...




I used this Wallyworld cheapie once...and thats all its gunna get unless its a doll stroller for my kids to trash... becuz thats what it is...trash...

I cannot believe how CHEAP this stroller is made, I am seriously wondering how people put infants in these strollers !!! yikes :( it makes me sad ..

I will not ever put another live human being in a stroller like this....

If you are in the mood



to go for a hike/stroll this is the one for you .. this also was bought at a yard sale last year and I tried it on backpack style and just about killed myself so its FOR SALE.

Neat idea really .. anyone ? wanna buy it ?

Last Peg




2005 Peg Perego Venezia in Black Sable.

Used once and I didnt like the way the back wheels went so it went.

Very plush, recline is flat, snack tray....I could go on and this stroller has so many good features I dont know what it was I just didnt like it so much.

*SOLD* I would give it a 6 due to the features

Raffle Swing






This is an adorable Teutonia Swing...I call it my Beetlejuice stroller...

I won this one in a raffle on StrollerSwap from a Swapper who picked it up in her area for $40US ! Its so cute. My DH thinks it looks like its ready to take off with the way the air filled tires look.

I did take my daughter for a walk in it once. The steering is good, the fabric is very comfy and it reclines all the way. Its neat. I like it.

Waiting blues





While we were waiting for our daughter to finally come home. I got the 'blues' and bought these two strollers. Funny thing is she never saw them .. I sold both of them before she even got home due to lack of space in our garage. I hope they are getting good use and being enjoyed.

The top one is an Emmaljunga Viking and came with a boot and the bottom is a Peg Perego Elegante Carriage ? I think its an Elegante. Anyways it came full on with the bassinete and double boots. When my daughter first came home and was having troubles sleeping I wish I had had the bassinete for her !

Pliko Trash




I garbage picked this Peg Perego Pliko, cleaned it up and donated it to a young mother in need and saw it in action with her by fluke in a smaller town ! Her baby looked happy in it and I am glad to have saved it from the landfill :)

Quinny



I got this stroller in hopes of it fulfilling my neighbourhood walk dreams. And it did ! I really liked this stroller for that. The fold is big and its heavy and it doesnt recline all the way though. The recline did it for me. I need a stroller to lay flat for those times when a nap is needed.

*SOLD* I give it a 7

Enter Maclaren...







I dont have a picture of the Blue Maclaren Volo on its own but its my sons stroller and we have loved it since the day it arrived ! I cant say enough good things about this lightweight umbrella stroller !

The Maclaren Quest in Chili has left as well (sad to see it go) but it was a great stroller ! We used it for my son when we werent using the Volo and again it was awesome ..

We have a HoneyBee Vogue I will have to find a picture of later on but I HAD to have this colourway ! Its also a great stroller but the handles are a bit high for me to travel long distances with it. Its current use is the pool stroller for my daughter.

Last is our Maclaren Ryder which I have yet to try outside. I got a good deal on it but I think the handles might be too high for me so it might have to go for a Quest or something similiar.

Oh and my daughters Magneta Volo. We have used it a few times but she is still too slouchy in it at 10 months so its been put back away dirty for summer usage. Love that the hood and rain cover is included !

We love love love our Macs !

The obsession starts....




The ebay Inglesina Zippy...I believe that my true ability to buy and sell stroller started here...with the Zippy...I bought it brand new off Ebay and used it once and sold it for more...that was it I was hooked ! Liked this stroller alot..my son was about 2.5 when we had it and I really liked it. Steering was good, fabric..hood..recline..basket were all good as well...

*SOLD* Rating - 8 (mostly becuz I just didnt use it that much)

Then came Buddy with the P3





I bought the Zooper Buddy at a yard sale in Light blue then bought the dark blue skins for it. We used it alot as a neighbourhood stroller and I really liked it until my sons head hit the canopy at 2 years old. For some reason I just don't think that should happen ! He is not an overly tall kiddo.

*SOLD* and I would give it a 6

The P3 was a Xmas gift from my dear hubbie..poor guy, everything he buys me I seem to sell or not like ! LOL its cuz he actually cares and listens to me when I babble about what I may or may not like and then by the time I get it I again usually have changed my mind !

Anyways I loved the P3...great all around stroller and I wish I hadda kept it for my daughter now...maybe we will get a Rose P3 !!

*SOLD* and I would give it an 8.5

Firsts





This is my son in Ukraine. This poor stroller had been used and abused by so many parents coming in to adopt and visit their children ! LOL Poor thing. We came home to an Eddie Bauer (will have to scan photo in later)

The second stroller is our Aria that I bought brand new in hopes of a lightweight stroller that would fit in the car easily...we used it but I never quite loved it. The handle I found got slippery (usually I dont have sweaty hands!) and the steering becuz I hated the handle wasnt great. Loved the cup holders for parent and child and the recline was good. The hood sucked though. All in all the Aria gets a 7.

All My Strollers

This blog will not be in order (although I will try my best)...Blogger seems to be the easist way to chronicle my stroller habit...I have tried a few other make your own website sites with little success...

My humble opinion is just that my opinion when it comes to strollers. Everyone is different !
