Question: Is a stroller a big ticket item?

My husband's family is sweet - his aunts want to throw me a virtual baby shower... They asked me to pick a big ticket item so they could chip in... I didn't want to ask them for the baby's furniture set because my DH and I are buying the IKEA Leksvik deal... (We were going with JCPenney, but I have since been convinced otherwise...) So is a stroller + car seat a big ticket item?

If so, which is a high quality brand? I wanted a Teutonia, but am unsure whether I have to actually go to a store for it.

    Just give them your registry info and let them pick how much to spend.

    I would figure out how many people are chipping in and figure that each person can spend $75-100.  Then pick your item based on that.

    Well I would think that for most people that it would be a big ticket item. Everyone I know spends about $25-50 on baby showers. So it all depends on how much money the people you know are willing to spend.

    My sister has a bugaboo stroller that costs $800 plus.

    Just curious, did you find reviews on IKEA baby furniture? I know I am going to get one of their high chairs, but I haven't really looked into anything else yet.

    I have actually only read a few reviews on the IKEA baby furniture... I know the Leksvik has gotten raves here at thebump.com and I heard it rated well on that baby ratings book.

    Thanks GASuzuki. Half of my condo is IKEA, and I plan on going this weekend!

    wifeypooh, the Leksvik is AWESOME, it's what we're getting too.  Baby Bargains gave it an A- I believe, and the whole set for the nursery is costing us $530.  Sweet deal!

    That's a very good idea.
