[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you can afford them I think they worth every penny. Its all about the opportunity cost that buying one of these strollers might represent for you. If barely none... 
I believe it has nothing to do with status.  [/quote]

At a certain level, yes (Maclaren being superior to Grapo). But once you're into Bugaboo/Uppababy territory, it is about status.  People just buy them because trendy New Yorkers and Hollywood celebrities have them, they want to show off or because they think more expensive is ipso factor better.  [/quote]

Sorry, but I don't agree. I have a Bugaboo Donkey and I love it. I did a lot of "research" before buying one and I chose Bugaboo because it was the one I liked -by far- the most. My first stroller was a City Mini, really great, but when I needed a double stroller Bugaboo Donkey was really the best option for us -in fact, besides being City Mini such a convenient stroller, I regret not having bought directly a Bugaboo with my first son.[/quote]
