The City Mini Double

This my latest and hopefully last stroller I will ever buy. (Ha ha...yeah right!) I have been eyeing this one for almost 6 months. I actually bought it once already but it was back ordered and the company (babyride.com) took my money and didn't give it back for a month. So I was out $400 and I had no stroller! So now thanks to John (for clueing me in on live.com cash back awards)and eBay (for sending out 10% off coupon codes) I saved $40 and will be getting $80 cash back

The Joovy Caboose


My Mom bought this stroller when I was pregnant with Zak. She figured it would work well if she had both the boys. We even talked to a lady who had one at Gilroy Gardens and she said she loved it. Well we hated it! The thing weighed about ten tons once it was loaded with 2 kids and the wheels squeaked. The front seat was not comfortable at all for a baby. The only good thing about this stroller was that Max loved it! The standing option is great for older kids! When I found out that I was pregnant again I sold it to my sister n law for 50 bucks. She says she likes it! I used this stroller for about 3 months.

The Phil & Ted


So when I was pregnant with Zaky, I went on a mission to find the perfect double stroller! All the reviews said this was the ultimate stroller for a toddler and baby. I had never spent $450 on a stroller before(and at the time it seemed crazy) but I sold some tickets on eBay and ended up getting my Phil & Ted for $200. I'm glad I didn't pay full price. It's not a bad stroller, the front seat is huge. Max still fit's comfortably in it. I recently got new inner tubes for the tires and a new second seat that reclines a bit more. The basket is tiny, it fits the suction but then there is no foot room for the baby in back. This stroller is versatile and I plan on hanging on to it for awhile. But if you want to borrow it just let me know! : )

The Granny Stroller



OK, you got me...Granny is not really a stroller! But seriously, does it get any better than that?

The Maclaren


I love this stroller! Lightweight, comfortable, well made, easy to push! The perfect stroller for one kid! (If they don't need a suction machine.) : ) I still have this stroller!

The Britax Esprit


I am a die hard Britax fan! Besides for my infant seats, I have only owned Britax carseats. So I was beside myself excited when I saw that they were making a light weight stroller. My sister n law had bought a Maclaren, it was awesome and so I decided I needed a fancy umbrella stroller too! : ) These pictures were taken the one and only day I ever used this stroller. It was horrible! Grandpa (from the pic) even asked if the wheels were locked. Anyways I called the company and they sent a new one. I turned around and sold it on Craigslist. I had this stroller for one day!

The Evenflo


This is a stroller that my mom bought for her house but decided it was way too big and bulky for her to get in and out of the car. I actually really liked it for its function...huge basket, trays and cup holders. It was pretty easy to push, for awhile, then I think the shocks went out or something. The wheels started squeaking and WD-40 didn't seem to help. But the most annoying thing about this stroller was that the fabric seat liner was attached with velcro and it never stayed on. We had this stroller for about a year and then sold it at a garage sale!
