[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When did the Graco stroller become so unliked?
It seems very few people have them. I have a Graco and a city mini, both used. I like the Graco for the large basket but am almost embarassed to be seen at the mall with it.

I love my Graco. I used it for almost daily for well over a year for walks, since I live in the city. It's still going strong. I actually bought a Maclaren before it and hated it. It never occurred to me that my status was shown by my stroller. I just wanted one that worked for me.[/quote]

+ 1. I loved my Graco so much that I bought another one when DC2 came along (Graco 1 got so much use with DC1 it was a ratty biohazard by then). I like the large basket because I'd use it for grocery shopping on the way home, I liked that it was sturdy because we walk a ton and it holds together for that. I also like that it's not expensive - that way if it gets damaged, I don't freak out. I don't particularly care if someone judges me for having an unhip stroller - it's the one that works for me. Plus, while I spend money on a nice house or trips or enrichment activities or whatever, as long as the stroller works, the cheaper the better is my motto. I'd rather put the extra cash into DCs' college funds. [/quote]
