If yes, then you've done good buying it. I justify my $150 most comfortable shoes ever that way. I'd gladly rent them for a dollar a day, so if I buy them for $150, I'm doing bad at all. I think that the bugaboo is an awesome stroller! With things like that, if I use it everyday for year, would you be happy paying rent of 2 dollars a day? If yes, then you’ve done good buying it.

I had to check it out even though I'm not in the market for a pull-behind, or double stroller. Groovy! Lisa,

Let me tell ya about stroller obsessed! A lot of blind people have gotten grants or voc rehab type funding to pay for that there stroller of yours. Apparently, it is da bomb as far as the tediously awkward chore of dragging your kid behind you onto public transportation and such when using a cane/dog. I was going to go for a grant for that one, but alas! no double stroller is to be found in the bugaboo line up. So, first I got a used graco duoglider, which worked and was really the only option when the kids were in their infant snap in carseats. I could hold on to the carseat handle and pull it from behind. After they outgrew the carseats, the thing became impossible to drive. So, then I went on a quest for the perfect and perfectly cheap lightweight double umbrella stroller. Someone talked me into the idea of getting 2 singles with an attachment thingy. Reasoning that most of the time I could wear one baby and ride the other, and if need be I could click both together. Well, I walk MILES nearly every day. Those babies start getting damned heavy to wear. And when clipping two single strollers together, all you get is a very awkward double that is about 6 miles wide! The thing didn't fit ANYWHERE. So then I went for a true double umbrella stroller. This has been working okay, I hang on to the middle handle and it is fairly manueverable except on really sharp turns. And then.... The heavens opened up! The clouds parted, angels sang! I found this: Fisher Price Kid Utility Vehicle http://store.babycenter.com/product/left+nav+pgroups/shop+by+brand/a+-+f/fisher-price/kid+utility+vehicle.do?asc=false Hippest thing EVAH! for the backwards driving, cane using blind set. As hip as we can pretend to be, that is. I do note that for my trial and error purchases of my 5 strollers, three of them double, I payed approximately $260 total, which is less than the mere single you've got yourself there, but that doesn't mean I'm still not jealous. I guess I wrote a whole post here, but just wanted to share with you my obsessive stroller purchasing as well. Stroller obsessed? Let me tell ya about stroller obsessed!
