[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hard no. Baby and groceries. Baby and car seat bucket. Baby and sibling in a few years. Stroller after someone in the building reports theirs was stolen.

Also toddlers are PAINFULLY slow on stairs. So it will take 5 min (not joking) for your kid to get up or down the stairs and you can't just run and put stuff down while wait. So imagine coming home from work with your work bag, dinner, your jacket, kid jacket, and then step, wait. Wait. Wait, step, tell you something, step, look at the wall, step, wait. Wait. Wait. Step.

If it was your only option, fine. Not saying you have to spend 25k more, but 5-8 stairs maybe. 30?? Heck no. I want to kill myself watching my 2.5 year old on 13 stairs. [/quote]

I've been living in a 4th floor walkup in NYC for 15 years and have 2 kids (a 4yo and 2yo).  This is the third 4th fl apartment I've lived in (the 2nd one I've owned) and we chose the 4th floor over lower floor units for a variety of reason. We leave our stroller in the entryway.  Yeah there are some times when it's annoying but it's totally doable.  I know families of 3 pulling the same thing off.  Zero regrets.[/quote]
