how many strollers do you have?

Anonymous
Three, maybe? All used/crappy. A throw-away Maclaren, some Graco $120 thing I got for $10. And, a hand-me-down crap umbrella stroller.

Two strollers. A big Graco (the type a matching car seat snapped in to), and a $12 Walmart umbrella stroller. DS is 27 months old and we still use both. The big one for places like the zoo, so we can stow our junk in the basket (we're cheap, we bring our lunch...plus the usual bag of diapers, sunscreen, water bottles, etc). I use the little one for everywhere else. The cheapie doesn't have a basket; thought I'd wind up buying another umbrella because of that, but it hasn't been an issue so far. DS loves riding in his strollers, and also loves pushing them around. I don't know how long it will last. Hopefully a while, I like taking walks while pushing him in the stroller.

I started with a britax b-agile & bsafe car seat when my first was born. I hated the stroller so I bought an uppababy vista witch I LOVE, 18m later my second was born so we added the the toddler jumpseat. It's not fabulous as a double but works. I have have a double BOB since I have no time for the gym with 2 under 2 so I've started walking twice a day

An embarrassing number. Being first time parents who didn't know any better we got the whole travel system to go with our car seat-Chicco key fit30 and cortina stroller. Never used the stroller. It was heavy and bulky. Got the snap n go and love it. We have a chariot for DH to pull behind his bike. It's also great for walks in the snow and rain because you can completely enclose The baby and its like a little cocoon and perfect for napping. Got a city mini when we outgrew the infant car seat and snap and go. We just got the city mini double. LOVE it. It handles really well for a double. The kids like it too. Tonight the older one was tickling the baby's feet. I would like to get the double chariot but have a hard time justifying 6 strollers - especially another pricy one. But then DH could take both kids on a bike ride. We're on walks a lot with the kids and dog on trails and sidewalks. We don't use the strollers inside very often (like malls and such). Oh and our kids are just turned 3 yrs and 9 mos. No way you can function with just one stroller if you do any amount of walking and especially if you have more than one kid.

PP 18:20 The bassinet pram I have is an older model Teutonia. It was a handle down from a cousin whose dad lives in Germany.

And you can pass them on or resell them when you're done with them! My snap and go and pram were both hand me downs and I was so glad to have them because you need them for such a brief window.

The car seat is heavier than others on the market I later realized and the stroller seat is really low so my so was looking at everyone's knees which he hated. The seat also only faces out which I didn't love. The uppa solved my stroller problems were still using the car seat with my second who was born in December but I don't get it out of the car

2 - Uppa Baby Vista (also used as a snap n go w/ bucket seat) which is our go-to for the mall and things like that, then we have the CityMini GT which travels with us and used for anything outdoors. DD just turned 2 and we still use both strollers on occasion, although the Vista normally ends up hauling the bags when we're shopping. I walk her to "school" (daycare) w/ the Mini.

Two. A City Versa for commuting, long walks, etc., and a First Years Ignite for travel.

My daughter is 19 months and just started rejecting the stroller for commuting, so now we only use it for longer trips or if she's tired. And just budget more time to get anywhere.

BOB single
BOB double
Uppababy Vista
Uppababy G-lite

They all serve different purposes. When I started out, I swore that I'd only have 1 stroller.


Sadly, this could be me. Our house is like a stroller emporium. I thought we'd rarely use one... but babywearing is unpleasant when it's hot and impossible when you're pregnant.

If I lived in city I might have skipped snap and go), umbrella, double stroller (kids close in age). My 4 year old still likes to sit in the double on longer outings or long walks in the neighborhood. She never sits in the single strollers.


This is pretty much us. Snap n Go, Vista, G-Luxe, and a Joovy Caboose that was handed down from my SIL. Snap n Go wasn't used much, Vista and G-Luxe got a ton of use each, and Joovy was only used 2 or 3 times, but again it was a hand me down. Mostly wore #2 for the first year+ and kids are almost two years apart. Youngest just turned 2 and we basically never use a stroller anymore. I'd get rid of everything but the G-Luxe if I could say for sure we will never have a #3, but not quite there yet.
