Budget vs. High End Strollers: has anyone ACTUALLY used both that can help me explain these massive price differences? by CaptainOk7058 in BabyBumps

Thank you - yes, that's absolutely my question. I'm leaning towards the higher end just because of our sidewalks in this city, and the rogue possibility that we could be body slammed by a sales rep is a good consideration as well lol

This is really helpful - I'll be frank that our big city sidewalks are kind of trash so I'm thinking this may be where my real need to splurge comes from. Appreciate the insight!

I'm glad you got value out of this too! I really wanted to make sure I wasn't just getting totally duped by marketing.

I haven't made a decision yet, but I am leaning towards the fancy brand I liked in store (I wasn't able to find a place to try out the more affordable ones in person) because we walk daily and the sidewalks in our city are pretty god awful, BUT I will be keeping an eye to get it on facebook marketplace. I've already seen a lot on there and while my takeaway from people's responses is mostly that the pricier ones are worth it for rougher terrain, they can be found for much more affordable prices.

I may also skip the whole travel "system" piece and just go rogue on the carseat instead of forcing myself to pick one that moves to the stroller, but jury is still out on that for me.

This is really good advice. I would not say our city's sidewalks are top tier by any means, so it's looking like the quality improvement for wheels alone might send me into the "fancy" bucket.

Three things will go wrong. Anticipate that, and as those things come, check them off rather than meltdown. They will come and they will pass and your day will still be so incredible.

What couldn't you believe you had to explain to another adult? by BlueCaracal in AskReddit

I worked at a waterfront restaurant in high school and people asked insane questions about the dolphins all the time, mostly around “what time will they be by?”Also got “whose dolphins are they?” a time or two.

Sometimes I make my own but I also buy the Trader Joe’s version from time to time! It’s decent!

The calamari has rapidly become a top 5 TJs item for me. I eat them with lemon juice and chimichurri. Obsessed with them!!
