My boys are finally done with strollers (but we do have a triple wagon we use when there's a lot of walking involved) but at one point or other, we had a total of eight strollers. (I guess with multiples, the strollers are exponentially related to the number of kids you have.)

We had:
- Triple Decker
- Double snap n go
- Single snap n go
- Peg Perego Triplette
- Double Combi
- Single Chicco umbrella
- Single Britax
- Triple Jogger (not as fancy as yours. :D)

Clearly, I had a bit of a stroller fetish for a while, but truthfully, I'm glad to have my dining room back!

One child - 4 strollers (Volo, Jogger, Graco travel set, small travel stroller pre Volo) - it was a constant evolution and since we do not live in the city - they hang in the garage except for the Volo which is in my car.

We love our Baby Jogger City Micro double stroller. It is narrow enough to fit through most doorways (we live in the city) and tough enough to take to the non-paved outdoors. The price was pretty great.

Before that one, we had the Mutsy Spider. It was great, too, for the same reasons. Plus, it worked really great for our newborns and our toddler still uses it.

One baby, two strollers. A Graco Travel System--love it but it takes up a lot of space and a cheap umbrella stroller.

Three babies in 4 1/2 years; three strollers. First one was a giant Graco thing that weighed approximately 800 lbs. But it had an awesome, huge basket underneath that I could get all of the grocery shopping in, so it was almost perfect for our lifestyle until we had our second. The second was a very lightweight, very flimsy, very cheap Comi umbrella stroller that I cursed every time I used it. We used this one just for public transit, and we tossed it when we moved. The last stroller we bought was the Phil and Ted's, when we had our second. It's now the only stroller I own. I love it. I could use a good quality umbrella stroller for public transit, but don't really need it.

We've got the Graco Alano Flip-It Travel System. Hopefully we will be like the previous poster and be able to get away with this plus an umbrella stroller.

We liked the Graco Alano because it's lighter weight than some of the other strollers out there, it folds really easily and it was inexpensive! $189.00 for the stroller, car seat and base. Can't beat that.

one stroller. maxi cosi foray. love it so much! best purchase we made by far. infant carrier snaps in when little, then use the big kid seat, can face front or back, reclines to 3 positions, adjustable handle height, cup holder, easiest thing to maneuver, very comfy for my daughter. as you can see, i could go on and on!

Toddler and twins here too--I got the Valco Double Runabout with the Toddler seat add-on. Also off of Craigslist. Prior to the twins, we had just our Graco Travel System and a Macleran Volo for travel. Then came the double snap-and-go, which I just got rid of, yay! And I just acquired another Maclaren Volo, so I am hoping attaching the 2 together will give me something quick and easy for the car (the Valco is a monster)

4 kids, millions of strollers!! For my first, I had one of those horrid carseat combo ones someone bought me... I hated it!

We've had a number of jogging strollers for our life out in the wilds of VT, and cheap-o umbrellas as "city strollers". That has worked pretty well for us. Doubles when two were close in age, singles for the youngers when the older had outgrown stroller time. Recently, though, I picked up an old Emmaljunga which I LOVE and use more than any other... in the city and country, and when my three year old gets tired of walking, she climbs in, puts her legs through the front, and I put my one year old behind her. Works great! Easy to steer, great shocks, best rain cover ever, best undercarriage basket. Best of all, 5 bucks at a yard sale, and my youngest 2 get to ride in a stroller that looks just like the one I shared with my kid brother!

one baby, one stroller at home, another (stroller) on the way.

our daughter is 10 months old & we've used the bob revolution up until now. i love our bob, but we needed something for the city & for travel; coincidentally, i ordered a maclaren volo just yesterday ($99 from diapers.com). we wanted something super-lightweight & comfortable to push & the volo fit the bill.

the bob is great for around the neighborhood (we walk everywhere) and for jogging, but not so great on a crowded train or in other tight spaces.

we used the car seat adapter to use the bob with our car seat at first. if i had to do it again, i'd probably get a snap-n-go instead, which cost roughly the same. we bought the car seat adapter instead, in part because it converted to a snack tray but we've discovered that the snack tray is terrible & took it off.

We have had a couple of strollers: the Chicco that went with our travel system, the huge Kelty double jogger we got at a yard sale (and sold for a profit on Craigslist, I might add) and finally the Phil & Ted double which is the only stroller we still own. The P&T has done a ton for us as it is skinny for shops and "urban sidewalks" and can easily bump along as we trail run (we slimed the tires). Its only disadvantage in my book is that it does not fold up too easily or small (at least with the back seat on) ... otherwise it's perfect, at least for us!

three, with two kids. a giant evenflo travel system with all the bells and whistles, a chico unbrella stroller with ive loved and still do, and our current and most used joovy ultralight caboose. i see myself getting a lot of use out of the third, since you can strap on an infant carseat and still have your older kid hitch a ride in the back. by the time i have my next baby, im sure my oldest will be plenty able to walk and not get into too much trouble while the younger ones ride. heres hoping, haha.

*which

Zooper Kroozer 4WD for our first...was awesome but huge and must have weighed at least 60 lbs. Made only in Canada for a brief period.

Quinny Zapp..loved this. Folds up so small that it can fit in the overhead bin on an airplane. A breeze to push.

Now have a Bugaboo Cameleon for our 2nd baby...I do love it but bought it used which I am happy about because I would have hated it if I paid full price. Very cumbersome...I hate how it has to come apart to be folded down.

Two kids (33 months & 9 months), two strollers: a BOB Revolution and a Maclaren Quest Sport. Mostly suburban-type use and the BOB is magical on the beach & boardwalk.

Right now I use an Ergo to tote the Girl when the Boy gets tired. Sometimes I have the Boy sit on the front of the BOB - which works great for that last bit of walking on the way to the car so long as he keeps his feet off the wheel.

I am shopping for a Buggy Board for the Maclaren (apparently they work alright with the BOB too but the handle bar is something of an issue?). Ideally, I do not want to have to buy a double stroller but if I was in the market for a true double I would get the BOB Duallie Revolution without even doing a test drive based on my experience with the single.

I would choose a Mountain Buggy over any other. Before my son was born I bought what I thought was an easier to use buggy - but it was too heavy and bulky to lift post c-section so then bought a MB Terrain for long walks and a Steelcraft Enigma layback stroller for mall trips. MB's are so light, easy to maneuver, easy to put away, store easily in the wardrobe, easy to clean because the covers are removable and the frames can be hosed down if you've happened to go off-road. I'm in NZ so home to the MB ;)

I feel so guilty posting all of this, but here it is: 1 baby, 17 months old and...

Bugaboo Bee, black, Bugaboo Frog, navy,
Chariot Cheetah, yellow, Phil and Teds sport, black, Uppababy Vista, black, Peg Perego Si, BOB Revolution 12" Alumninum, orange, Baby Jogger City Mini, Phil and Teds E3, Chariot Cougar SX, Bumbleride Queen B... ALL SOLD! I am stroller crazy - I admit it. I have really specific requirements and we live in Ottawa, so the weather is a factor, and I run and live in an urban environment, but the bottom line is I have sold 11 strollers and now just have 2.

We currently have: BOB Revolution 16" jogger in Navy - for running and wonky terrain
Uppababy G LUXE in black - for travel, the bus, crowded urban settings.

I would like to say that thanks to some sleuthing and some stealthy kijiji buys, I have been able to stay at the break-even point. In terms of time and effort invested though, not so much...

I am dying to see the Donkey in person for when bebe #2 comes along, but I am currently in love with the Baby Jogger City Select. For me, it is crucial that the bebe be able to lie flat in a bassinet-type stroller, because I hate putting him in the carseat all the time, and it needs to have a really big sunshade because I don't like using a lot of sunscreen...

We love our Bumbleride twin stroller... but I still have major stroller envy every time I hit the mall.

One child, two rides, one brand: Uppa Baby Vista and an Uppa Baby G-Luxe. And I may be biased, but I am seeing the Vistas everywhere these days - they seem to be catching on.

1 child 3 strollers.

I did a ton of research before my Nov 07 baby was born. I wanted to get it right the first time so I got the Uppa Baby Vista. I loved the fact that you could fold it with the seat attached unlike similar strollers around that time (bugaboos).

I also went with a smaller Maclaren Techno XT. Everyone raved about Maclarens but I just never found the love.

While I still have the Maclaren we hardly use it anymore. I got a great deal on a Quinny Zapp which is awesome. It folds up super small and glides like a dream. My only complaint is it doesn't have adjustable handles for my tall husband.

For the most part though I carry my almost 3 year old in good old fashioned soft structured baby carriers. Super convenient and helps me burn a few extra calories.

I recently acquired my 14th stroller for my one 20 month old son, can't judge anyone. ;)

1 child, 1 stroller, no regrets...if we were having another, I'd use the same stroller.

We have the Quinny Buzz 3 and the Maxi Cosi infant seat (just had to upgrade to a bigger seat, but the infant one was great while it lasted).
I noticed Quinnys everywhere in Italy when my husband and I were there last Christmas (I was pregnant at the time) and I was really impressed by the design, their simplicity, their versatility and how well they maneuvered rougher terrain (centuries old cobblestone isn't an easy one to gracefully use a stroller on, but they did beautifully!).
We bought the basic stroller, which includes the base (folds and unfolds so easily!) and the stroller seat (goes up to age 4 and reclines in 3 positions, front or rear facing). We also bought the bassinet attachment that allows baby to lie flat during walks (resembles the old style pram and is so cushy and comfy).
I can't say enough good about this stroller. We looked long and hard but once I found that one, I didn't look back. The typical travel systems found at Babies R Us are just too bulky and frankly, ugly, for my tastes. This one will last us forever, through more kids if need be and is beautiful to look at as well.

One baby and techincally three strollers. We have a Valco Buggster S, bright orange for long walks and all-day affairs, basically as our main stroller. I have a love/hate relationship with it. The brakes are nearly impossible to release (have to pull it up with both hands) and it does not collapse very well. It rides really nice and plenty of room for the little one to grow into plus being bright orange (we are talking construction cone orange) you can always see it and find us.

For the car, we started with a snap 'n go for the infant seat. Once we out grew the infant seat, we switched to the Combi Cosmo as the car stroller. It is light and travels really well (we have flown with it twice already) but it is kind of flimsy feeling. It can fully recline which is great for napping and drives like a glorified umbrella stroller.

Now looking to the future, we are starting to explore getting a double stroller and I am starting the whole researching process all over again. Anyone have a good recommendation for a double stroller for two young (one infant and the other under 1.5) children?

we have a 7 month old and a 2 1/2 yr old. we currently have three strollers. theres the big bulky one that the infant car seat can attach too and then comes off for older child (gift). then we have the dinky umbrella stroller, which i told my husband theres no way were going to use that getto trashy cheap stroller. its the one we use the most and the reasoning behind my the most recent stroller purchace. a double stroller that looks like two umbrella strollers attached. i did not want the inline stroller i felt bad for the no view for the kid in the back seat . the kids love the double stroller...i bought it because i broke my leg and needed to get both kids safely to the daycare in our neighborhood. I LOVE THE CHEAP UMBRELLA STROLLER MOST. when we bought it about three yrs ago it was ten bucks! now i see they run twenty. well worth the money.

Our one MacLaren stroller is on the second kid. I ran over it with the car once while it was folded up, so one wheel is a bit wobbly, but just fine. I do have a few carriers though...

We've had about five strollers. With twins, and the new addition (baby) I am scrambling to find something that works. Our double jogger kinda ripped (hate InStep!) and I don't know if I can navigate a triple! Do I have a choice? Prolly not. Triple strollers are super hard to find! I found a gorgeous Inglesina triple- but it is SUPER hard to maneuver. So we don't take it out often. I'm going to have to look for something like Roni's!

1 toddler 4 strollers.
Peg Perego which we hated but was our main stroller. Gifted. Cheapo jogging stroller bought on craigsist for $50. Snap and go which was a hand me down from a friend. And a cheapo umbrella stroller we bought for $19.99 at baby's r us.
Another baby on the way. Planning to buy a mid-range McClaren to replace the Peg Perego Pilko 3 which has been used to death.

1 baby, now almost 16 months, and 2 strollers (although not at the same time).

I bought one of those small graco snap n go things that the carseat hooks into just after my daughter was born and loved it. it was easy to use--easy to fold and unfold and maneuvered nicely.

I finally bought our real stroller, after a lot of research and thought, when my daughter was 6 months and starting to complain about the carseat. I got a maclaren ryder (got a great price on a brand new kate spade one that ended up costing less then the quest I had planned on).

it is exactly what I wanted--very easy to use and comfortable for my daughter (we had used other strollers when visiting friends and relatives and my daughter could never sit up as upright as she wanted or lean back as far as she wanted). we use it for walks around the neighborhood and shopping excursions and sightseeing trips--it has worked perfectly in every situation.

signe-

the peg perego aria twin 60/40 is a great double. one side is a bit bigger and takes a car seat and the other is still wide enough to fit a bigger kid-but it is still only 29" wide. and although it looks bulkier than a double umbrella it is actually lighter-it about 21 lbs while the maclaren twin techno is 27lbs.

the only drawback would be the price-its about $300 bucks but ive test driven it and it is a great stroller.

ive also tried the tandem "convertibles": the city select and britax b ready and they are HEAVY! if you thought the gracos were big-whew! and with 2 kids in it i can only imagine!.

my recommendation would be to babywear the little one and push the older one in the single for short trips and use the aria twin for longer ones when the both need to recline/sleep.

We have the Yippity Skippity, of course

One baby not yet 7 months old, 5 strollers. First was the travel system, ginormous, hated it, banished it to the basement to be sold/donated later. Then was the BOB Revolution (with carseat adapter), loved it but it wouldn't fit in our car trunk or in crowded restaurants. So we used the BOB for walking and open spaces and got the Graco version of snap-n-go for travel and tight spaces. The 2 stroller system worked great. Then the baby was ready to move out of the infant seat, and we had to get rid of the snap and go. We got a Chicco umbrella stroller (something like Ct0.6). The handles were fixed, and awkwardly placed, and neither my husband (6') nor I (5'6") could stand to push it. Also the sun shade didn't provide the level of coverage I wanted. Then we found the Phil & Ted Smart, which I think is a new design this summer, and so far we are very happy with it. The handles are fixed, but their placement in the middle (rather than the edges like the Chicco) makes it still comfy to steer. The sun shade is big and can be set to many different positions (and stays in those positions). And it looks cool. The downside, which is a big one, is that no cupholder fits it, even the one sold on the Phil & Ted's website as fitting it. But it folds great, fits into our car and other tight spaces, and between it and the BOB we're happy again with the 2-stroller system.

We have 4 children. Ages 3, 1, 1 & 8 weeks. For our oldest we got a Graco Metrolite but in the matter of a month I already hated the thing. We tried to take it back but the store wouldn't accept it so we sold it on Craigslist and we purchased the Peg Perego Pliko P3 which we loved. When our son was 10 months old my husband bought the Bugaboo Frog and we sold our Peg Perego. I loved the Bugaboo but got tired of lugging it everywhere so we got a Maclaren Triumph for little errands and such. A little after our son turned 1 we got pregnant with the twins and I agreed to sell both the Maclaren and the Bugaboo in exchange for a BOB Revolution because my husband so badly wanted one (don't ask me why...haha). Once the twins were born we got a Peg Perego Triplette and a Combi Twin Sport. We still have the BOB, The Triplette, the Combi and have also aquired a Maclaren Volo. Once our first daughter came into the mix we cracked and bought the Foundations 4 Passenger monster err I mean stroller haha. We are giving our Triplette to my cousin, we are selling the BOB to a family friend and the Combi is going to a nice family we know that can't afford a stroller for their 1 and 2 year olds. The Maclaren we are keeping and we are getting two used Phil and Ted Sport Strollers. I definitely miss a lot of those single strollers but there is no longer a point with our pack of children, haha.

Baby jogger Summit. And I'm in love with it. We have average side walks and have taken it on trails with pleasant experiences.

Still have the old,beaten up Ingelinsa.

Aske me how many slings I have....7. Oh yeah, that's my addiction.

My baby is so tiny that she was still in her infant car seat until well over one year old, so all I needed was the Snap n' Go, which I loved for the city - small enough for doorways, restaurant aisles, and narrow sidewalks, not to mention for my small sedan trunk.

At fifteen months she was getting a little tall for the infant seat, so I went to a convertible car seat and a Volo - so far, it's working great. But we're planning on a number two soon, so I'm doing double stroller shopping now.

So far, almost 16 months old and only 2 strollers! We did get a jogging stroller as a hand-me-down, but I passed it on - I love to run, but I just couldn't get used to running with a stroller.

Two kids- One stroller! The Bugaboo Frog may have been pricey, but it's seems better than buying multiple strollers. When #2 came along, we got the roller board accessory for him to stand on. Works when we need to get everyone moving and then the rest of the time he walks. No regrets. It works for us.

For our first, we bought a simple Maclaren when she was 9mths, and too heavy for me to feasibly carry everywhere.
For our second, we bought a Maclaren double.
For our twins, we bought the Phil and Ted's which we HATED and sold again within two weeks. Then we used the Maclaren double, and we sold it when the twins were 2.5.
We also bought a second Maclaren (and two toddler boards) for when travelling, and both parents could have one stroller/board each.
Then when our fifth was born, we bought a BJCS and use a buggy board with that. When it's just me and the baby though, we use the Cameleon.

Our main mode of transportation is our Stokke xplory. My husband, son, and I are all quite taken with it. It served very well as a bassinet in the early months and has gotten us through everything since. We absolutely love the height - close to us, away from curious dogs and well meaning but pushy strangers. Every stroll is an adventure together. We do turn the seat around for trips to the zoo and museum, and occasionally to use as a high chair when none are available. For travel, the mothership is much too big. We use a Cybex Onyx which has been fabulous for plane trips. But if there is ever any extra room in the car, I will squeeze in the Stokke. And we do have a third stroller, I hate to admit. A cheap jogger for walks around the open space in our neighborhood. We live in Marin County (CA) and have lots of lovely trails around our home. The jogger just works better off-road. We are planning to add another little one to our family and one of my biggest anxieties is about strollers. I love that our first has had such amazing experiences in the Stokke. I want that for our second. I just don't think our first will be independent enough to do a buggy board by the time our second sweetie arrives. We are considering a bumbleride twin but really hope Stokke comes out with a double soon.

We have 10 month old twins and TWO Maclaren Twin Triumphs, one for each car. We orginally bought the Kolcraft Tandem and hated it from the moment it was assembled. We loved the ease of folding, the small size and the lifetime warranty of the Maclaren so we bought a second one. I occasionally wish I had the Bumbleride Indie Twin, which I coveted when I was pregnant and would love for rougher terrain. But a twin-mom friend has one and that thing is BIG. I love the Maclaren Twin, which is big, but for a double stroller which will hold a combined 100 lbs, it's pretty small. No problems fitting it in the car and that thing handles great. I once pushed it across a gravel parking lot at a park with one baby in it while I was carrying the other baby crying on my hip. It has me spoiled. When I push a cart around a store, I forget that not everything handles like my stroller and I can't push and steer it with one hand.

phil and ted sport with a double attachment
all i have to say
all i need
for my 2 kids...23 months and 4 months.
LOVE IT!

I have a Quinny Buzz 3 for my one year old (today! yay!) which I like a lot for our urban Canadian lifestyle, except for the stupid fabric of the seat. It gets really dirty, especially if my daughter's wearing shoes, and is IMPOSSIBLE to clean. It's orange and red, perhaps a darker colour would have been better.
We also have a cheap umbrella stroller for the mall.

Ditto. All that we ever need is the Phil & Ted's with the double seat. It fits into my itty bitty trunk, has REAL tires that can plow through the snow/ice filled MN spring sidewalks, and the kids LOVE it! It fits in any aisle and doesn't take up the whole sidewalk. Now that my 'baby' is 5 1/2 and my other is 3, we stored the extra seat and use it as a single. Awesome. A double and a single in one! It's amazing. Go see their awesomeness. http://philandteds.com/productsus/pushus

When we had our first child we had a Bugaboo Frog. I loved it, but hated the fold. Became a bit of a pain to get in and out of the car. As soon as she didn't like using it too much, we sold it and bought a Britax Blink to throw in the trunk.

I've since sold the Britax (I hated it!) so that we could get something a wee bit more substantial for our soon-to-arrive son. We got a Baby Jogger City Mini (it's not actually a jogger) because it folds soooo easily. If this baby doesn't enjoy the Ergo as much as my daughter did, we may wish we'd bought something that caters better to new babies. But I'm hopeful it will be our last stroller.

I can see one flaw with the new stroller, it doesn't sit as upright as the Frog did. If I had the money to spare, I would likely have considered the new Bugaboo Bee. But the City Mini is affordable and easy to use, so that's what we got.

We're looking at a toddler stand thing for the back to accommodate our daughter if needed. She'll be 3 shortly after the baby is born, and she's not as keen on strollers anymore. For long nature walks, she walks for part of them and goes in a backpack for the rest. So I've never really considered a double a necessary option.

We got the bugaboo frog almost 6 years ago, my 2nd kid is now 17 months and it's been a great stroller. I wouldn't have got it if we were casual walkers but we walk a TON. We walk to the store, to school, to the dentist, etc etc. Also the pram option was awesome, both kids lived in it the first 3 months or so of their lives. It was like a little bed on wheels I could move around the house with me and they could nap in it, etc. As someone mentioned it's a bear to fold and take in the car but ours is just our home base stroller and we don't really take it anywhere in the car. Our travel stroller is a maclaren volo which has been used for both kids and has been an awesome stroller as well.

Surprisingly, I think we did get it right the first time… Which means that we went with our original plan, not that we only own one stroller! We got a snap-and-go for the newborn period. People thought we were crazy, but we loved having the stripped down carseat carrier. When our daughter could sit up, we got a Baby Jogger City Mini after serious reflection on what features we actually wanted: easy fold/unfold (one-hand), compact when folded, a big sunshade, one handle bar, an under-seat basket, smooth recline, and as large of wheels as we could get. We love, love, love our stroller. It maneuvers beautifully. It’s beefy enough for gravel trails and broken sidewalks, but small enough to fit in our tiny house and car. The only thing we aren’t thrilled about is the wonky foot break. Then we have one of the $30 ultra lightweight umbrellas that we keep in the car for quick stops or indoor trips, such as in a mall or doctors office, when you really want something small but don’t need bigger wheels.

It’s true that a stroller is probably the most personal baby gear item. It’s interesting to hear the variety of perfect-fits for different people.

We used the snap + go in the beginning with a car seat just to see when we'd use a stroller. Then after pushing it over bad sidewalks + dog parks, we got the BOB Revolution. Still use it for all muddy/long distance walking/jogging. It lives inside.
After outgrew car seat, found a used Mclaren Triumph. Use it for indoor walking, ie. grocery, malls, department stores or when I don't want something as cumbersome as BOB. It lives in the car.
Very pleased with all choices.

Amazing how personal stroller choices are, just at peachypear mentioned.

27 month old... the ONLY stroller we have ever had was a Bob Revolution 12 inch. Got it because it would fit in the back of our tiny Scion xA and because we walked at a dog park with miles of rough trails. I love it. The only thing I don't like about it is that the handle bars are not height adjustable, and we're both tall. Works fine to walk but if I ever loose my mind and decide to try jogging, it's going to be too low.

We mid-way through the approval process of adopting, so am going to have to consider another stroller for the two of them. The child will be a toddler most likely, so will need one that can do that well and still go walking on rough country roads.

We don't use the stroller in town much, but have on occasion. The bob fits in all of the stores fine. My little girl even says "ride bob" when she wants to go for a walk... so she obviously likes it too!

I am appalled by the entitled parents with their enormous strollers everywhere. My daughter is 34. I used a "cheap" umbrella stroller, never drove a car, always folded it on public transport. We were at the zoo when she was 2 and it broke. I threw it away and she has walked ever since.

UPDATE: One of the bike rental shops in town is liquidating its stock of BOB Duallies (2006, fixed wheel) and the shop owner was kind enough to let me test drive the beast for the week, gratis. Boy, am I glad I am getting to try-before-I-buy.

I am not going to buy.

My older kid is MUCH more interested in walking than riding. If I have anything in my trunk (a Passat wagon so not exactly a micro-trunk) I have to take at least the front wheel off. And without the "revolution" part of the game this thing is impossible to steer.

So back to the original game plan of the buggy board . . . .
