[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guarantee that my parents (who have several grandchildren) have absolutely no idea how much a stroller costs. Heck, I only barely know because I got mine second hand. It’s not like they’re constantly in stores that sell strollers. [/quote]

This is my feeling too. The grandparents are just clueless, regardless of having had other grandchildren first.  This scenario of the $100 gift is probably exactly how it played out with the other family members too. Everyone just smiled and nodded and thanked them and here you are several grandchildren later and the grandparents are just blissfully unaware.

I don't think there is intentional cheapness or anything else involved. [/quote]

+1000.  It's a generous gift.  Say thank you out loud and silently thank your lucky stars that you have in-laws who can take care of themselves financially.  This will save you so much in the long run...way more than 600 bucks for an overpriced hunk of molded plastic that you will only use for 3 years at most.[/quote]
