Research, Research, and More Research

Strollers? Really? Researching Strollers? That’s right! I have spent countless hours trying to figure out the stroller craze. Manufacturers would have you to think that you need a different stroller for every occasion and stage of your life…a travel system or car seat carrier, a lightweight stroller, a jogging stroller, an umbrella stroller…not to mention double and triple strollers when siblings come along. My goal is to NOT own three or four or more strollers by the time by the baby is two years old. All of this and I haven’t even mentioned the price range, various features to choose from, and all the different recalls that you have to keep up with! Did you know that strollers can amputate a child’s fingertip? SCARY! The good news is that I still have four months to decide what I need, the bad news is that with all the strollers and information available I might need more than four months. Isn’t there a good jogging stroller out there that I can use for everything, my daily run, my errands, etc. that doesn’t cost a small fortune, doesn’t weigh 30 pounds, and isn’t big and bulky? If there is, I haven’t found it yet!
