When you’re out looking for baby gear for a new baby you need to find high quality stuff. You don’t want to have to go through a new play pen for every child you have (at $100 a pop) so you have to find materials that will last a VERY long time. When it comes to a stroller you need to go the same thing. Look past the cute, hard to follow names like “Baby Jogger City Mini” and focus on the weight and whether or not you can push it on rocks (you’ll be surprised how often that can actually come up in our well paved world). For these things the ability to endure is more important than with clothing. A baby will grow out of clothes every few months and reusing the clothing is easy because the baby has so little time to use them.
Remember that paying more for a high quality product can end up saving you money if you plan on having more than one or two children and reusing the same items.
