LOL..sorry.
I dont know a lot about strollers, I confess. With my money going to baby carriers, carseats and cloth diapers, I really can't afford another addiction, anyway, LOL!! But ...I see a lot of VERY expensive strollers repeatedly recommended on here..but for the families to whom a 2 or 3 hundred dollar stroller is pretty much in the same category as buying a $1000 diamond-encrusted collar for your tiny foofy dog?? what are some decent options on a strict budget, so I know what to tell friends, family, etc? for some reason, people assume I know strollers since I know carseats? :confused: Is there anything that is easy to push, nice features, and basically okay in the under $50 range? What about under $100? A good, economical double stroller option? I see the Aura stroller a lot at walmart and big lots..is that one good? Are there certain brands that are better, like Graco is good, babytrend is bad?
Help out a stroller newb?

guess that's why my local CL is full of single graco strollers and duogliders, and why my duoglider spends most of its time in our basement :eek:

We had a "cheap" stroller and I couldn't handle the wheels on the front, I actually literally stopped and kicked the front wheels one time, I look up and DSS1 is standing there staring at me like WTH did I miss something? We then got a Combi, same DSS1 pushed it all around babiesrus for a good half hour along with the Chicco one that is similar (with DSS2 sitting in it for comparison).
No, it's not the cheapest by far and some people don't care for it. But we needed one that was very compact, was tall enough to not KILL my back leaning over it, 5-pt. harness, the bar swings to the side, cup holder, if you unvelcro the cover it will cover the child from top of seat to front handle bar. I got it on clearance at babiesrus for $65, normally $130.
