So, I have found the ultimate stroller company....
BUMBLERIDE!
And yes, this is a shameless post, from the Hawk.
This is a stroller that is built with the intention of lasting, not needing to necessarily be replaced in a year or so - I wrote the following on facebook regarding our decision to go with a Bumbleride Queen B;
in the decision to purchase a 'travel system' Phil and I agonized. Looking at what is available, the least we could spend would be $250 with no clear top end. The thing is, a carseat expires six years from manufacture date. As such, multiple children requires multiple carseat purchases. A stroller, on the other hand, has no expiry, but most are made in such a way that the plastic wheels, frame, steering and design fail within a few years. The conclusion we came to is that one should put more money into a stroller than a carseat (granted the carseat is purchased new and has passed all the safety tests). We waited and watched Kijiji, and found a $700 stroller/pram for $150. It has an aluminum frame, replaceable, inflatable wheels, all metal working pieces, and is adjustable to carry up to two children, from infancy to about four/five years old. We did not buy the first pretty stroller and carseat that looked pretty, though that is what our impulses suggested. We waited, researched, and found much more satisfaction in the decision we made. We also managed to spend $45 less than projected for the lower end travel system available at Toys R Us and Walmart.
Why am I posting this on our blog as well as facebook? To get the word out,

Read bragging mommy's review, and you too can sing the praises of the sturdy and sleek Bumbleride brand!
We really love our Queen B, but cannot make any official claims as to its efficacy until the baby arrives (next 3-6 weeks is the best guess....) In any case, It puts a smile on my face regardless any and all times of the day.
I recommend their website for pictures and an overview of their products,
