[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I consider him cheap in many areas but it’s so frustrating with baby items! I’m due late June. He complains about every item I pick out (picked a $500 stroller/car seat set and he complained that he could get one for $100 from Walmart). He complains about the clothes I pick, saying we could just go to Walmart. Says the car seat bases are too expensive. Everything is “too expensive” to him. Anyone else BTDT? It’s not a big deal because I’m just grateful to be having a baby and am praying for a healthy delivery and baby, but geez, this man has something to say about every little item![/quote]

Be aware price is most definitely not an indicator of better safety or quality with baby gear.[/quote]

Why must a stroller cost so much money? It’s just marked up to capitalize on parents wanting what they think is premium for their kid.[/quote]

NP. It depends on lifestyle. I don't want something that is going to break and can handle ~15mi trails/day so I'm getting a nicer, more expensive stroller with specific wheels. It also isn't a crime to not want an eye sore like a lot of the cheaper strollers. Cheap and poorly made, not just less expensive.

Why is someone at 300K HHI whining about a $500 travel system? For one child, take the cost of the stroller and divide it out. If he is seriously this upset over a $500 system that includes a car seat then he shouldn't be having a child. He'll be having kittens constantly over how much they cost.[/quote]
