[blparent] to keep the stroller or not?

[Veronica Smith]

Of course this is very true, but then you start to think, how many kids were
riding in this stroller today and should I really disinfect it?  At least,
when you take your own, assuming your car can carry it, you know how clean
it is and you don't have to worry what germs are on it.  
If you have to lug it on a bus, then the backpack is the better choice.

I agree.  I didn't get as much use as I thought I would out of the stroller 
I bought.  As soon as Sarah was walking, she wanted nothing more to do with 
the stroller, at least when she was with me.  Also, if you go on a long 
outing such as to the zoo, you can rent a stroller or a wagon there, which 
is often easier than hauling one yourself on a bus or in a crowded car.

Of course, as soon as you send the stroller back, something whill come up 
and you'll wish you still had it.  But if you can get a fair amount of money

back and spend it on something you'll get more use out of, that might make 
sense.

>> Hi everybody,
>> Before my son was born, I researched strollers and found a stroller with

>> Thanks for your input.
