This is ridiculous: $1,500 stroller?

MamaLBF

I don't understand why anyone would pay $1,500 for a stroller?

The only way I would spend a ton on a stroller is if I were still living in Chicago. We used to live in the city and walk EVERYWHERE. A good stroller is a necessity there. Some of the sidewalks are rough, and cheapo strollers just cannot handle it when the weather isn't great (snow, etc...). I don't think I would really pay $1,500, but I would spend a good chunk if it were one I really liked. I would only drive once in a blue moon.

If I am just living here, however, no way. I am in and out of a car, so I need an easy, small stroller. That would be nuts!  This donkey stroller looks HUGE and like a burden, in my opinion.

Maybe they buy it because they want it and they have enough money. Didn't we have enough of these discussions in third tri?

Must be nice to have that kind of money to blow on a stroller.  I have other things I need my money to go toward.  Why anyone needs a stroller for $1500 is beyond me.

Meh. Our stroller was damn close to that much $. I didn't care for the other double strollers in a cheaper price range. They all sucked ballz, IMO.

Thats a good point. I could definatly see needing a really durable and good stroller for city life.

Why do you even open my posts? I can think back to quite a few where you just post somthing negative or fix my spelling errors for me.

You weren't around for the tri boards. This debate is older than circumcision and bf vs ff combined.

Hmm, I have been here since first tri. I guess I missed the debate somehow. Thanks for the clue in though.

Everyone has different needs...I've always lived somewhere where I walk more than I drive and Graco isn't going to do it for me.

I agree with PPs.  At the end of the day, what does it matter to you what people choose to spend on a stroller?

Price aside, the donkey?  Seriously?  That is the best name they could come up with?

I suppose thats what makes this board great; everyone has different opinon. Some don't mind shelling out the cash while I think it's a bit much. To awnser your question, I don't care what other people spend on a stroller. $1,500 is just crazy to me.

In Israel, the standard price for a good stroller is 800-1000 dollars, mostly because of importation costs... Therefore we decided to buy a very expensive stroller that was originally very expensive, not originally cheap with lots of tax added onto it. We basically walk everywhere though, so we get a lot of use out of it and will definitely keep it for #2.

Why would anyone pay 60-70+ grand for a car or spend 2 or 3 on a handbag?  Have you ever pushed one?  You'd be sold as well if you had the cash to burn.

LMAO-we did, we did-the first time around the block.

It's a good thing this stroller wasn't out last summer.  It seems like an amazing stroller for twins.  It's hard to find a side-by-side stroller that holds two infant car seats.  I looked at the Easywalker, which is also expensive, but I didn't like the features. 

Our Baby Jogger City Select with all the attachments was $$$, but well worth it.   I wouldn't shell out this amount of money for a single child, but it seems with twins everything is more expensive.
