[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's not true. In the 80s, Yuppie parents may have bought more expensive strollers but they certainly weren't a status symbol or "cool."[/quote] As a mother to a kid born in 99, I agree. The "baby product as status symbol" thing started with cribs in the later 90's. Suddenly you had cribs that came in odd shapes, or that had other furniture built in, or that converted to full sized bed. Then carseats became a status thing. Britax came on the market a few months after we bought our convertible and changed everything in the carseat market. Strollers got out of control in around 2003 when the Bugaboo Frog came onto the US market. Before that there were definitely nicer and less nice strollers, but the difference was in things like how easily they pushed or folded. They all looked more or less alike. The Frog changed all that.[/quote]
