If you continue to use your stroller past its weight limit? I figure its not like a carseat so it couldnt be a huge deal except for if they got too heavy they might break it. Any reason not to use it a few pounds longer?
When it comes to strollers, I really think that it's a best guess for a comfort ride and liability issues. The manufacturer doesn't want to be liable if you bust the stroller within 6 months loading it with 60 or 70lbs of gear.
But they probably determine a higher amount that it can carry than what's listed in the instruction booklet. If you figure a child + clothes + all the stuff that's usually piled on the stroller usually weighs more than the manufacturer's 'weight' limit when he/she gets into toddler years.
I had a Peg Perego that I bought used. The instruction booklet said it could hold up to 75lbs between seat & storage (it didn't have a basket, so I have no idea what they were talking about). Loaded or not, the beast was still a pain in the neck for me to maneuver even if it was empty. I hated it so much! I got rid of it really quick, but my best friend who bought it loved it and still uses it today with her very large 2yr old (He's almost 40lbs).
My Quinny Speedi is only rated for 40lbs, but I've had it loaded down with 30lb child + around 30lbs of shopping stuff and it still maneuvered on its three wheels like a dream. The shocks were even still bouncy enough to manage cobble streets.
I wouldn't try that stunt with a lightweight umbrella stroller though. Probably fall off a curb or collapse or something
What kind of Peg was it? It wasn't a Pliko was it?
The pliko p3 isn't supposed to have a weight limit

Oh good, so when I get tired I can kick the kids out and have DH push me around....AWESOME
I had to sit in it once to nurse ds because he was distracted and there was nowhere to go and nurse him. I sat in the handicap stall in the bathrooom, mind you I wasn't fully sitting in it I was bracing myself with my legs!
At least you had the stroller to sit on LOL! Sure beats sitting the actual toilet with your clothes on to nurse! LOL
Oh boy, do I have some nursing stories
I am trying to remember why exactly there were times where I would nurse in the restroom. I was the type of person that did it not matter what people thought. If I needed to feed my baby, then by gosh I was going to feed them right then and there.
