I'm a Stroller Stalker

While we're waiting for our referral, I've been busily researching baby gear, since it's some of the only stuff I can purchase until I know our son's age/size. I bought car seats when they went on annual clearance, so my new obsession is strollers.

Other than the safety issues, I'm also considering: Full-size? Lightweight-plus? Cup holder? Snack tray? Weight? Ease of folding? Lime green or burnt orange? I've begun staring unabashedly at other moms' strollers. I've even been known to circle back to check a stroller out from different angles. My internal monologue about their choices usually goes something like this: "Ooh, Peg Perego! Fancy!" or "Oh my word, Bugaboo! I'd have to take out a loan for that one." I've also considered giving these moms 21 questions. "How are those wheels holding up?" and "Can that thing really fold up using only one hand?"

So, if you see me staring in your direction, no worries: I'm only checking out your stroller. I have my eye on a lightweight-plus stroller that's on clearance right now, but I'm not sure I'm ready to commit.

Next up ... the diaper bag!
