Strollers
Posted: 01-14-06 14:22pm

So im about 6 months right now and were into buying the "big" things.. Or the exspensive things right now... I have a big family and they are helping us out alot..Everyone is kinda buying sumthing..
But my boyfriends dad keeps trying to get everything covered by used things.. Wich is no problem.. But I dont have a car and my bf will be at work most of the time so I realy need a stroller that I can use from the time the baby is verrry little and keep using while it grows up, his dad tryed to give me an umbrella type stroller.. I know that wont do until its older..

I guess my question would be.. Can you put newborns in strollers at all?? If it reclines?? Or what? I really have no clue about little stupid things like this.. I dunno what to buy

Yes you can use that stroller, you just need to look at getting one of those neck stabilizer pillows. We used it for about 3 weeks and then he was strong enough to keep his head up and he actually put his head where he wanted it even after we would reposition.

The thing I am talking about looks like a mini-boppy pillow.

The most cost efeective stroller to get is a 2-in-1, car seat/stroller. Where you can attach the carseat part and put them in it when very lil, and use the carseat for the car too. Then remove the carseat part as they get older. They're called travel systems.

Ack 175...I wish I could find one so cheap. The one I am looking at buying is close to 400...It's a little more expensive then the others but not really by much...On average here they cost between 250-350, however they are so conveniant I can't go without it. I just need to come up with the money now...Lol

Mine was 350 but the cost went down to 250

kimmeh walmart carries the 3-1 carseat, base and stroller for 199cdn$ and some other ones at like 150 which is not bad at all.....

We bought a 3 wheeled schwinn jogging stroller for $109.00 u.S. And with some small adjustments it has worked for us as far as out baby is concernd.

We did not want to get one of the 4 wheeled strollers because they have a lot of bump issues.

I would like to get a different stroller for shopping because the schwinn is huge! It has shocks and the wheeles are like bicycle tires and its just a cool looking ride but it is not practical to wheel around a store.

If you go to babies-r-us, they have a lot of those 3 in 1 strollers. Or you can even check out amazon.Com. I saw some on there for $130, including the infant car seat that snaps on to the stroller base. A lot of times they are called "travel systems". Good luck and congrats!

Boycott toysrus/babiesrus. Everyone I know (including myself) who got something from there or ordered somthing from there had something screwed up with what they got.

Walmart!!!!!! Lol
