Re: A stroll in Babies r us
lol I SO hear you! Its very hard not to get sucked into the whole consumer thang....yet looking back, my best stroller was the free umbrella stroller we got one time when we made a $50 purchase...it was so light, so foldable, so easy to steer. My big fancy stroller was really heavy, not as easy to maneuver. I had a fancy changing table. Never used it. I changed baby usually on a bed. I wanted one of those fancy nursing/rocking chairs...yet if I had spent the money, I'd likely not have used that either. I had this gorgeous crib - it was round and had all these fancy trimmings but when they were babies, my boyz slept in a porta crib right next to our bed and once they got big enough, went on to toddler beds. The crib went pretty much un-used.
Its SO very easy to get caught up in these fancy strollers, cribs and trimmings. But heck...theres usually better things to spend money on - hard as that can be when you browse thru these stores!
