[blparent] to keep the stroller or not?

[Chad Allen]

What are the age and LBS limits on the stroller? If your son can still be in
the stroller at three years of age, should you consider keeping it?

I am an avid back packer but yesterday I used the stroller because it was
more practical to do so. Both are valuable and needed depending on the
circumstance.

Hi everybody,
Before my son was born, I researched strollers and found a stroller with a
reversible handle. It is the bumbleride flier stroller. IT is expensive,
costing us 350 dollars. We bought it thinking that I would use this stroller
when I was by myself and my husband would use our other stroller, the baby
jogger city mini stroller that he liked better. We've been using the city
mini stroller but haven't even opened the box for the bumbleride flier. I
have been reluctant to try and pull the stroller behind me since it is a
rather wide stroller and I was never quite good at pulling shopping carts
behind me in grocery stores. I have a baby carrier that I use when I go out
by myself with my son but am worried that one day he will be too heavy to
carry, even on my back. We have the option to return the stroller to amazon
and get a full refund. Part of me wants to return it so we can get our money
back but another part wonders if I might need it one day.

So, my question to all of you is do you find that you need your reversible
handle stroller or do you feel that the baby carrier route is best when
traveling alone as a blind person? Is there a reason I might want to keep
the stroller to use later?

Thanks for your input.
Ronit
