[quote=Anonymous]We started out with a bunch of free/cheap mish-mash of strollers. The best stroller we had was a beat-up Macleran, which handled better than any stroller we'd used.  Our kid grew out of it so I asked around which stroller people liked based on a couple of things (recline and sun shade, etc.), and everyone said City Mini.

That City Mini changed my life, and when I see other parents with City Minis, I think that they know what's up. They understand how this stroller changed life as a parent. That stroller made me more sane. It operates smoother, over terrain and curbs better, and it navigates with one hand. When I see parents with cheaper strollers, I hope they have the same experience we have, but I don't think they do.  I think "If they only knew what spending the $250 would do for your quality of life."

A lot of people don't have $250 to spend on a stroller, so it then becomes a symbol of status.  On the sad day we are ready to give ours away, I am going to give ours away.[/quote]
