part 1:
I think I want to get a decent umbrella stroller for dd3. We'd start using it at the end of this month when we'll be flying to PA. Among other things, we'll be spending a day at Idlewild Park (an amusement park geared toward children NOT teens) Thing is, I'm not sure how much we'll use a stroller. I have a Chicco C1 that dd doesn't use all that much right now. It is pretty heavy and bulky, so I definitely won't be taking it anyway. DD much prefers to be worn in our Hotslings pouch or the Ergo. I'm just not sure I'm going to want to wear her the whole time. It gets hot and starts bothering my back or shoulders after a while.
part 2
If I get one, which should it be? I'm leaning toward a Maclaren, but I'm open to suggestions. I'm trying to decide between a 2006 Pink Flag Triumph for $110 or a 2006 Salmon Volo for $80 or a 2008 Raspberry Black Volo for $115. I really like the 2008 Volo because it is girly and has a black hood. It seems like I've heard that the light colored hoods get dirty and show it? I'm not huge on the Triumph's colors, but if it is the better choice, I don't mind it. I like the Salmon Volo, but I'm worried about the hood looking bad after a short while. There IS a Carbon 2006 Volo there for $80, I just had kinda hoped for a girly stroller, ya know? (I didn't get to pick the pattern on our Chicco and I don't really like it) Anyway, if I do get one of these, it really needs to last until we're done with strollers all together. Dh is not going to be happy about yet another baby purchase so price is definitely a factor.
eta: Hood size is a factor too! I don't want dd catching a lot of sun.
