A Brief Overview Of My Stroller Obsession

All The Strollers I Have Owned So Far:

1. Disney's Winnie The Pooh Umbrella Stroller. This had no storage and very basic. A lightweight stroller for my first child. I use to leave it in the trunk of my car and used for outings. I did have the opportunity to use it a little with my second before we decided to toss it because it was just so beaten up by that point. I believe we purchased ours from our local Walmart.

2. Graco Single Stroller. When I was expecting my second child, I bought this from a second-hand store. It did come with a car seat, but I purchased a new one for my baby. The single strollers that come with a car seat are called Travel Systems, and I've posted a link to a similar style to what I had.

3. Graco Duo Glider Classic Connect Double Stroller. This came along after I was pregnant with my second child. This was a baby gift from my mother. After I had bought a second double stroller, I began using this as my travel stroller. (Amazon shows that this stroller is currently unavailable on the link I have given you above).

4. Graco Snugride Infant Car Seat Carrier. This is a stroller frame. I used it for my second child with my infant Graco Car seat. I especially liked that I could transfer my sleeping baby from the car to the car seat and into this without waking him up to put him in the baby carrier or stroller. However, I have heard and read that you really don't want to let your child sleep in the car seat outside of your vehicle. I also used it even when my baby was awake because this was a lightweight stroller. However, this stroller frame no longer worked once my baby outgrew the infant car seat. I bought my stroller frame from a second-hand store. They have a newer version of this product now called The Graco Snugride Elite Stroller and Car Seat Carrier, to see it click here. 

5. Cosco Umbrella Stroller. I really liked that this one had a storage basket and stroller bag. I gave that to a cousin who was looking for a lightweight stroller, but I originally bought it for my second child as a lightweight umbrella stroller after tossing the previous Winnie The Pooh umbrella stroller we owned. I bought mine used from a second-hand kid store.

6. Kolcraft Contours Options Lt Tandem Stroller in Crimson Red. I purchased this after I was pregnant with my third. I used this with my preschooler and toddler during my third pregnancy. I love that it can become Now I use it with my toddler and baby if my now kinder-gardener wants to walk. I have, however, used it with my kinder-gardener and toddler and put my baby in a baby carrier. While it's still big, you can technically use it for one and leave the backseat off for extra storage. I've also used the second for holding grocery baskets. So I could still push the stroller and didn't have t push with one hand and hold the grocery basket in the other.

7. Kolcraft Contours 4 in 1 Bliss Single Stroller. I use this interchangeably with my toddler and baby. If my toddler is using it, I have my baby in a baby carrier or in arms. I bought this brand from Amazon. It is often listed as discontinued by the manufacturer, but occasionally Amazon has some to sell. It is pretty pricey.

8. Graco Ready 2 Grow Click Connect LX Stroller. I bought this stroller to be a new travel stroller and replace the third stroller on this list. At this point, I have four strollers. 

9. McClaren Double Stroller. I bought this one used because I wanted a lightweight stroller that I could use for my preschooler and toddler and my double contours was starting to look worn, multiple pieces to put on and take off, also really large and sometimes hard to get through doorways alone. I don't know the exact model as I bought this used and the information was not provided, but it looks like an older version of the McClaren Twin Triumph in Black & Charcoal.

WAGONS

* Radio Flyer Pathfinder Wagon (in Red Base style)

I have this hard plastic red wagon, that we still have. It is the first wagon our family got. At the time we got it, we had 2 kids. We used it alot for going on walks and around our property. However, it is not portable and difficult to store if you don't have a place or way to hang it. As of 2019, I no longer own this. I passed it down to a friend.

* Whitsunday Collapsible Folding Wagon

This was a gift from my family that I received when my second child broke a bone. It was the first time that happened in our family and that child couldn't walk well with the heavy cast. It's a blue 30" inch wagon from Amazon. Even though my second no longer has a broken leg, I've used this wagon frequently for my kids, my daycare kids, and even transporting supplies or groceries from my car to my house.
