Okay, so I am going to try and talk my DH in to going to BRU with me tomorrow to look at strollers. Which he insists I don't need. I disagree. So, because he insists I don't need one it needs to be on the cheaper side (I have a bit of a collecting problem- Colby just got 4 car seats, 2 shopping cart covers, and a Graco Pack N Play Sport that I will be picking up from someone a state a way on craigslist the week after next). I have a Graco stroller that came in a travel system. The Alano travel system- pattern is Fortune. Its really not a horrible stroller- it does its job. But its BIG. And sometimes temperamental. The sun shade sometimes needs some coaxing to get to go back. And the one hand fold really is a one hand and kick. With a wiggly 7 month old I can only imagine it will get harder when he's a squirrelly one year old, a rambunctious 18 month old, and a defiant 2 year old.
What I'm looking for (and I don't mind buying stuff after market and adding) is: a light weight stroller with cup holders for me, possibly for him (but I'm not sure if kids really use this? I've never seen one use them...), I'd like a place for my phone but its not a deal breaker, a fairly smooth ride (neighborhood walks and to the mall-no off roading or jogging needed), a storage basket for my diaper bag and possibly a mall shopping bag, and a foot muff or something similar for winter.
What I was looking at was
Graco Cleo for $89 on albeebaby
Used Peg P3 for $150
Mac (not sure which one- but not a fan of the volo from target, you guys just seem to give them the thumbs up)
Silver Cross Pop
I am open to ideas. It really needs to be $150 or less. I am more comfortable around $100. This does not need to include the accesories- I can always whine- I mean buy them later.
And then would I just buy the foot muff/travel blanket from the company? Or is the JJ Cole Bundle Me for the toddler good? Or is there another brand I am over looking? Thank you so much for your help...
