Strollers

We've been cleaning out the attic to convert the remaining storage area into a bedroom (it's a Cape... it was meant to be living space rather than a catch-all for the stuff we didn't feel like unpacking). The poor garbagemen have been busy! We got rid of the old stroller/carseat combo we had for the kids. We used it a lot more for C than for L. I loved it with C, because we could move her from the car to the stoller without waking her up.

I don't know what I'd choose if I was buying one now. There's a lot of information here: Pushchair Guide, to help evaluate what you need. It's full of great info! They cover different types and discuss how each fits with a family/baby's needs. Great for first-time parents, and for those adding to their families. Gotta send the link to my pg Cuz (ultrasound indicates a boy, by the way!). My sis-in-law lives by her strollers. She has several. A big one that often carries everything BUT the child, on down to the umbrella strollers that are great for trips to the zoo.

C & L both ditched the stroller by a year and a half. Miss Independent 1 & 2! With L, I used the sling a whole lot more than the stroller. My MIL used it to walk her around the neighborhood, but if I was going out, I found the sling was much better for my needs with a baby and a kid. The sling ensured that L was right with me, and I had two hands for chasing C. BUT... when we'd go anywhere (zoo, boardwalk, amusement park) with the inlaws, we always ended up borrowing one of their strollers. I'm just glad we're past that stage and it's out of the house.
