Cool Baby Gear: This Is How We Roll

Despite my consumer-crazy husband’s encouragement, I could not justify buying the Bugaboo when we went stroller shopping. Blowing nearly a grand on our baby’s ride just didn’t make financial sense for two creative artists living in one of the nation’s most expensive counties. But had this oh-so-smooth stroller been out and about before our daughter was, our girl Viva might just be cruising in style right now.

Fresh from Europe, where it’s already a prime stroller pick, the swank multi-stage system costs an almost reasonable $500. And it’s got optional extras of a bassinette and a car seat. It’s even got a cute name—The Quinny.

I haven’t given it a whirl yet, but an industry insider tells me that it’s the bomb because it’s got hydraulic-smooth collapsibility. If you saw my wrestling our stroller—and often losing—when attempting to jam it into the car, you’d understand why I’d happily fork over extra dough for that convenience.
