Strollers are making me nuts...

... more nuts, rather.

Now I'm looking WAY outside my budget range b/c I don't want to buy something cheap that I end up hating. We can't really get to a bricks & mortar to test-drive any of these, and we have to get something before the middle of December.

Now I want a Baby Planet Solo Sport Deluxe. Can you believe they are charging $70 more bucks for the black/orange rather than the brown/pink? It's a green company though... and Redbeard would *love* the black/orange-- "Bengals colors"! Of course, he won't love the price tag (eek!).

I have some money in my PayPal account that can make up some of the cost-- but it would be a significant investment right when we are going to be needing to conserve money. Of course, the truth is that I/we have birthday money that I would gladly spend to get this stroller if we hadn't been in a lurch last month and had to transfer money from our emaciated savings.

Hmm-- is this one of those situations where I say "I'm doing this, because I never do anything for me"? I think it just might be. In fact, this is actually a combination benefit for all of us-- and I think Finn will love it. More importantly, if I buy it off of Amazon, and it doesn't perform, I can send it back.

How's that for convincing? I think when we "get paid" from this Hunting Week caca, Mama's making a purchase! If I don't talk myself out of it before then...

  1. I always suggest people to buy quality products. I appreciate you for choosing Baby Planet Solo Sport Deluxe. As it is trusted brand and famous among the strollers. I would suggest you to buy Mickey Bungee Deluxe which is very affordable and durable for long time. It has got some nice features and good looks also.

  2. The Baby Planet Solo Sport Deluxe would have been a very nice stroller, but it was going to be a LOT heavier and not fold up nearly as small as the Evenflo Sport Plus that we ended up getting-- and that worked like a charm. The only feature I didn't get that I wanted on the Evenflo was a reclining seat-- but it was only $40 and a great traveler. Hope that helps!
