A couple of years ago I posted about something odd that happens when you become a mother besides leaking boobs. There is something I like to call, stroller envy where you check out everyone else’s stroller just like some men check out and compare one another’s vehicles. It is insane but happens! I know I am not the only one!
I was lucky that when I went into my favorite baby store ever (Albee Baby) ready to purchase my Bugaboo in 2006, the stroller specialist told me to wait it out a little bit because Peg Perego was coming out with a new stroller that would be more convenient for me and my needs. I needed a stroller that would turn into a bassinet, I needed something that I could easily stick into the trunk of my car and I needed it to last at least 4 years. While the Bugaboo is a great stroller and by no means am I knocking it, it just didn’t work with my needs.
I went into a baby store yesterday to check out the Bugaboo Bee because it fit my current needs and I have a couple of friends who own it and LOVE it. I was okay with the stroller, I was able to face the baby, it has storage below the seat, is SUPER lightweight and if you get bored with the color or theme of your stroller, you can easily buy a new canopy and have a brand new look. Then I noticed I was comparing strollers on my lonesome. Where was my husband? I needed him there to make sure that the extendable handle bars worked with his height. I noticed a crowd about 10 feet away from me but didn’t pay it any mind and then gave my husband a call. He never just leaves without telling me where he is going so the odd behavior made me a little concerned that he tripped and was under a pile of pink and blue Gund teddy bears suffocating to his death (this is the way my brain works when I’m pregnant). Then I saw his head poking out the crowd and as I walked over, I saw my jock and Linsanity having husband demonstrating a stroller to the masses. ”I wonder if State Farm will insure this thing”, “It charges your iPhone!”, “It opens and closes by itself”, “It’s amazing!” he said. I swear to you that he probably urged 5 different couples to register for this thing and the thing I speak of is the Mamaroo Oragami by 4Moms stroller. I cannot even begin to describe it to you but you MUST see it for yourself. I would be fancy and post the video but lately, I’m too dumb to figure out how to post one. My sincere apologies! I posted it below for you to see for yourself! It really is the new MUST HAVE stroller that will leave everyone saying, “Bugawho?”.
