I'm worried I'm becoming obsessed with strollers...

I don't want to be one of "those" moms!  Am I the only one?

DD is starting to getting too big for the car seat (especially to carry her around in it) and soon we're going to be retiring the Snap n' Go (which I LOVE) and using the umbrella stroller we have almost exclusively.  I REALLY like it, as it folds up so tightly and has a pretty smooth ride, etc.  My only problem with it, and it's a big one, is that the basket is laughable.  I could barely get a gallon jug in there. 

I keep thinking, since it folds so tightly, that it'll be great to keep in the car and use at stores and thing, but I think I'd really like a sturdier stroller with a nice big basket for going for walks and longer outtings.  Maybe a jogging stroller... I dunno.  It especially sucks since we shouldn't be shelling out extra money for another stroller, but maybe by the summer when I'd really like to take her for walks more often we can afford one.

    Try cragislist or Kijiji, and see if they have any joggers that are more afforadable... I'm probably getting a hand me down from my bro and sil now that their youngest is 4... good luck geeky.

    We got a really nice jogging stroller at a yard sale for $25!  Try that or CL like pp said... what umbrella stroller do you have?

    Yep...had the combo system first, then I at least used the stroller portion after DD outgrew her car seat. Then I got a hand me down *tiny* umbrella stroller for quickie trips, then a jogging stroller...we live in the country and needed something off-terrain for walks. Then DD and I flew out of state to visit family and I got a McClaren cuz I needed something small but not too small.

    I think I'm done. I thought about a double after DS was born but I don't think DD would want to be contained in a stroller anymore.

    The Combi Cosmo.  We registered for the Maclaren Triumph but got that instead because the Triumph wasn't at the store when we went to get it, it was a little cheaper and we had a good coupon.  It really is nice... it's just that the basket is totally non-functional.  The fact that it's so light and folds so small is great for out Elantra and carrying it up the steps to our second floor apartment.
