Stroller shopping and other delights

I went stroller shopping today. I've been a Bugaboo fan since before we knew I was infertile. Today we checked out the competition.

And the winner is...

the Stokke Xplory.

Does anybody have one of these? Any thoughts? Advice?



We went to my 4-year-old cousin's birthday party. Her 5-month-old brother was having a bit of a meltdown at the end of the evening, so I offered to hold him. I sang and walked and rocked, and somewhere around the 7th repetition of Bob Marley's "three little birds" he finally fell asleep. It was the sweetest thing ever. Baby therapy is still so powerful for me. I hope I feel that way when it's my own baby.

Bob Marley was the only thing that worked on Livvie in the beginning when she was so colicky. I still sometimes end up singing "No Woman, No Cry" to her when she's fussy.

I'm so glad you got some baby therapy!

Considering how ancient my stroller is? Sorry, I can't help! But I'd love to come see it and check it out?

Does it come with a car seat attachment?

Oh yeah, it comes with a carseat attachment. And a basinette. And a seat. Mosquito net, rain cover. The works.

OMG Ms. C, are you really coming to TO? We need a bloggers party to celebrate! Or if you time it right, you can come to Lumpy's bris/baby naming.

We're a Bugaboo family but I'll admit to looking longingly at the Stokke a time or two.

Have fun shopping!
