DH let me get a Stokke Xplory as my Mother's Day present this year! So far I love it and I think DS does too. DS is almost 14 months old but I think we will get a least another 2 years out of it and then hopefully we'll get some use out of it if/when we have another baby! I love the versatility of the stroller and how easy it is to push!

Wow, fun! I was just wishing I had one of those...oh...all the time... when we go out to eat and could just leave Leah in the stroller as a high chair :D

So, what do you think of it? I have looked at them online, but never seen one in person.

Enjoy! I saw one in Boston once (sadly abused lol) it looked to so cool though. Mom totally did not appreciate it either but I enjoyed drooling for a moment.

What a cool present, I once got a Suburban for Valentine's Day that was...well is nice lol but you know a bit practical a Stokke though that would be nice. Shhhh never tell DH I said that.

That is soooo AWESOME!! I am jealous :o

My friend has one, and LOVES it! She said it is very easy to push, and it ahem....gets lots of attention.

We love the stroller so far. DS thinks it's great and we've used it as a high chair twice now. Both times he had a great meal! I love having him so high up and we even get to interact with him more:) The stroller pushes so nicely even in dirt and it handles like a dream. I can't wait until my Fleurville Sling Tote arrives (got a HUGE discount on it) since my current diaper bag doesn't work with it. It should be arriving on Tuesday. I going to take DS to the zoo to see how it works there:)

I have a friend that was debating between the Stokke and the Bug Cameleon. She got the Bug but is now wondering if she made a wrong choice. I told her ok by me, I might take the Bug off her hands, if she changes her mind and gets the Stokke. She has an extensive (read 7) stroller collection.
Which color ST did you get? I have had 3 in my time, have just 1 now, they are terrific bags.

We got the Turquoise Stokke. I thought it would be reasonable as a gender neutral color if/when we have another and the babe is a girl. I'm really loving the stroller and while the price is steep.... I'm so glad we have it!

Here's a pic of DS in it.

I was actually asking the color of the sling tote (ST), but I am glad you posted the photo of the Stokke. I really like that color and your DS looks happy in it.

Sorry... I should read more carefully:) We had an exhausting day yesterday. I got an aquamarine cord ST and the same color escape pod! I'm going to check the tracking info to make sure it's on time.

No worries. I am into both strollers and bags, so I like to hear about both. Do you post on stroller swap, strollers and beyond or baby bags?

I'm on stroller swap but I mostly lurk over there:) I only have 5 strollers... and DH would never let me buy and sell them as often as others there... so I most just live vicariously through others there!

I am over my stroller limit, according to my DH, of 3. He had a rule, when a new one comes in, one must go. He still thinks I am selling one from the Ryder I just got. hehe

Silly DH for thinking you can part with a stroller! To be fair, two of my strollers don't count. One is a snap n' go which is useless until we have another baby b/c DS isn't in his Safe Seat anymore and another one is a double jogging stroller which we only use for certain walks and we wouldn't see it b/c we will likely have another baby at some point. My others... a P3, Venezia, and Xplory are my everyday strollers. I've promised to sell the Venezia b/c the Xplory has replaced it and the P3 is the one we travel with as it folds well and goes in the travel bag:) See all strollers have a purpose!

I don't count 2 of mine. hehe
1 is a pram, vintage Hartan that HE actually suggested we bid on at our kids' school auction.
The other is a Graco, part of a travel system when DS #1 was born, that we leave at my mom's in PHX, for when we visit.
So technically I am not over my limit. hehe
I have the P3, Mac Ryder and Joovy Caboose that I use.

Hmm, don't want to start talking about diaper bags. They are easier to stash though. hehe

Bugger! I just watched the Stokke video and was all excited to buy one, but my 5 yo weighs 33.4 lbs! The limit is 33lbs, back to looking at Maclarens. I'm SO getting one of these when we have baby #3. I'm tall and it would be perfect!
