I did, and I knew it was yours...LOL...did you sell it?

The Vogue was Honeybee Black...the black is faded, but they all did that so I was figuring it was going to be. The wheels & tires are pristine though, and I got the paperwork & raincover & everything.

Oh, and add a 2001 Maclaren Vogue in Honeybee Black to the list...

I couldn't help myself when it popped up on Craigslist for $40...I'm picking it up on Friday. LOL

I should take pix of it...and the vogue...and the Eddie Bauer...none of them have made it onto my website yet...

Off to do something fairly useful...LOL

Oh crud...the KeyLime one is in the back of DH's vehicle...have to wait to do that one until he gets home. Blah!

Gasp...when I went to take pix of the "new" Vogue I went searching for the stickers on it...I assumed it was one of the China made ones because the majority of the 2001's were China made...but this one is UK Made!!! Even better!!!

awesome! definitely a great find!

Man I wish people around here knew what quality was lol! I hear all these stories about thrifts, consignments, yardsales, and craiglist. We are just a bunch of hicks I guess

Currently I have:
Mac Volo (our primary, lives in the car stroller)
Safetech swivel wheel double jogger (long neighborhood walks, events - airshow/festivals/etc)
Peg Perego Atlantico (hasn't been used in a long time - since DS2 was born - was DS1's primary single)
Combi Perfect Match (broken piece of crap)

Sold:
Phil & Ted's E3 w/ doubles RED - Loved that stroller but sold it because after DS2 turned 1 it just wasn't a good fit for us anymore - still sad that it is gone
Combi Travel Savvy - too narrow for DS1 as a toddler, too low for DH to push comfortably
single jogger - very basic, cannot even remember the brand, single jogger
Peg Perego Twin Aria - didn't ever use it - returned to get the Phil & Teds

Ok, just went in and updated my website.

Added... 3 new singles, 1 double and the 99 vs 01 Vogue comparison page.

I have a evenflo ellipsa (ick) , a combi savona (sp) and my newest addition a rock star baby candy umbrella.

We have a Maclaren Volo we keep in the trunk for use in the mall, downtown, or when we have only one kid to transport. We have a Dreamer Designs Ditto Lite (double jogger) for nightly walks and jogging. We enjoy them both!

OMG!!! That's exactly what we did!!! DH wanted to take that sample formula black bag home too, but I said "NO WAY, we just bought a $70 diaper I don't want to carry around a freebee!" Plus there is no way I was going to go around promoting Formula use. LOL!! Anyways, so we took a black permanent marker to it, and it has surprisingly held up really well, not bad for a freebee!

I'm just smiling over all the comments on the freebie black diaper bags from the hospital.

Heck, the PP nurse when DD was born 2 yrs. ago warmed up to me after I pegged her Brooklyn accent and gave me two freebie black diaper bags from both formula companies. One I keep in the back of the car for extra diapers and clothes for DD, and the other went to then 3yo DS who used it as a briefcase "just like Daddy".

We have a Bugaboo Cameleon as our primary stroller and a Mutsy spider as our umbrella stroller. We use the Bug the most since the baby was born. We love this stroller because we were able to use it as a bassinet when he was first home and he slept in it on the aerosleep mattress that came with the Bug for the first 2 months. After 2 months, we started putting him in his crib and actually didn't use the Bug seat at all. We instead placed our Maxi-Cosi Cabriofix carseat with small bugaboo adapters onto the Bug frame and used it as a travel system. At about 3 months we converted the Bugaboo bassinet into the Bugaboo seat and would put our child in it on long trips out and about. We still use the Maxi-Cosi on short trips. The Bugaboo is a great stroller in its full form. As a child stroller, the seat can be easily switched between forward to rear facing. The front wheels have full suspension, and the rear wheels are air filled. The stroller drives smoothly, and folds compactly and the handle is reversible. It can even be placed in two wheel mode to go in sand or snow. The suncanopy provides great coverage. We have the Breezy canopy as well and it is nice for sunny days at the beach. The stroller has a large storage bag that attaches under the seat. Our only initial complaint was that the bug didn't have a cup holder but we just received Bugaboo's newly released cup holder and it clips right on the handle.

Our other stroller, the Mutsy Spider, we bought to roam around Disney World. We wanted an umbrella stroller that was light weight, had an adequate recline feature, large sun cover, and could fold down to a minimal size. We initially looked at the Quinny Zapp but it did not have a recline feature or undercarriage storage. The spider was wonderful for it's purpose. It definitely can't carry everything from a nursery but our son was very comfortable and could take naps on the go. There is also enough under seat storage to carry a small diaperbag or a couple of jackets. The wheels are well made and the stroller rolls well. We haven't had problems with it tipping eventhough it is a three 'wheeled' design.

We also have a Maclaren Triumph that we don't use since the Spider arrived.
