Stroller Addicts Anonymous

Ok, so I never really considered myself to be a stroller addict until last night...

I was sitting with my husband on a date night (without my baby, mind you) and we're at this Greek festival with all these sights, sounds and smells and all I can do is sit and look at good looking, sleek, beautiful strollers walking by me!

I oohed and ahhed when I spotted it. The Red Phil and Teds Dash with doubles kit in the front position. The stroller looked sleek and modern on the street, a pleasure to push...really, but completely un-bulky, like some inline rides...the stroller looked awesome. As smooth as water falling over rocks. The baby in it looked comfortable and happy...of course if you were sitting in that ride you would be too! Believe me, if you would have seen this stroller on the street, you probably would have fallen in love like I did.

Then not two seconds later I turn to find a Bumbleride flyer in Spice (orange with teal lining). What a cute stroller on the street! Lightweight, but full service with the reversible handle allowing you to see your baby! The mom in question had the handle in the front facing position so she was able to look at her little one. Also, she had linked toys onto the safety bars. Baby in question wasn't sitting in the stroller but happily munching on the handle!

Of course, it wasn't two seconds later that I turned around and saw the beloved Bugaboo! The Dark Brown based Bugaboo Cameleon was in Bassinet form and was dressed (unusual for a chilly night) in a pink breezy canopy! I wasn't able to catch a glimpse of the little baby girl laying bundled and sleeping soundly on the comfy air flow mattress.

Well that was my fun night out, stroller watching. I wish I had taken pictures so you all could see these buggys out and about (reminder to take my camera wherever I go!) Also, if you ever happen to see a really cool ride, you can shoot me some pictures too and send them to info@strollinginstyle.com. I would love to see what you find!

I'll write more on my adventures in Strollerland, now that I am a full blown member!

Also, you can read this article about how to realize that you are a stroller addict and what to do if you are! I love this article, especially the end where the author spells out how many strollers a person should have so as not to turn your garage into a veritable stroller graveyard.

1) Full service ride for every day- parks, malls, walks
2) Lightweight, umbrella style- quick trips, airports
3) Jogger- exercise, fairs...

Just read the article, it's great! Take care until next time!

What an Exciting Time!

Yesterday we were setting up our new Bob display and had a blast changing a few of the other displays around. Hopefully, I will get a chance to post some new pictures of the displays on the facebook page. If you havn't checked out our facebook page (Strolling In Style), please do because it's a great way to see pictures of the interior of the store.

The Bob display looks really great! We've got the weather shields, sun shields and even the Stroller Strides fitness kits (for those fit mama's out there!) Along with the car seat adaptors and handlebar consoles, you can completely outfit your Bob at Strolling In Style!

We are also working on our new Grand Opening flyer that will be running our new in-store promotion...shh...can't tell you what it is yet, you'll have to wait and see the new flyer! I should have one posted up here soon!

It is so wonderful to have such nice people come into the store who are expecting new little bundles in the Spring or Summer. What a fun and exciting time it is for you as a couple! Shopping for a stroller is a part of that excitement and I am so glad to be helping people make the right decisions and assisting them in finding the right stroller for them! I certainly remember how exciting it was for me (and I'm sure you moms of toddlers or older children out there do too!) For those of you we have met in person, we are so happy to have had you in the store and look forward to assisting you in the future! For those of you we have not met yet, please come by and see us!

Finally, an update!

Whoa, how busy things have been since the new year! Between the store, website and baby, there is not much time for anything else!

We are so excited to have the Phil and Teds Dash in stock now! The Phil and Teds Dash, the smooth double shot to go, is an inline stroller with the no-fuss mama style! The Dash can be used as a single or double stroller, which is great for moms of two! The Dash is also so versatile, you can use it as a jogging stroller!

Our new shipments of the Bob Revolution will be arriving on Tuesday! We have been so proud to be a Bob Dealer that we want to shout it out loud! WE LOVE BOB! We will have navy, black and orange plus some really great accessories including travel bags, handlebar consoles and even stroller strides fitness kits!!

In diaper bag news, Skip Hop has released their new pattern for '09, Cherry Bloom (See the DUO shown above) Skip Hop always surprises us with the most beautiful bags and this year they have done it again! The DUO has eleven awesome pockets, for the organized mama plus built in stroller clips!
