so we just had our little baby girl. we live in rowhouse with 5′ high stoop and 4′ deep basement. it means wife needs to pull the stroller up or down the stairs. and she had problems with it. she got crazy stokke stroller just because it alegedly easier to pull up the stairs. but I do not see how.
so the question is: what you do about pulling stroller up the stoop? any particular tips about stokke stroller? she also asked aboul building rails to roll the stroller up the stoop. does it make any sense?
Dear Brownstoners:
Sometimes when I return to the grocery store with my toddler, I have too many bags to carry up to the apartment. Should I leave my son in the backseat of my Volvo station wagon and carry half the bags up and then go down to get him, or should I take him upstairs first, give him a book to read (he’s three, but reads on a ten year old level of course), and then go down to get the groceries? What would you do? Oh, I forgot to mention I have garage parking so do not need to double park or leave my son in the car on the street. Oh, and assume the doorman is not working that day, it’s a weekend. Any advice?
I recommend a baby bjorn for the first 4 or 5 months, and then a maclaren techno xt (light and easy to fold/carry.) don’t pull a stroller up or down the steps. If you can’t carry it with the baby inside, it’s too heavy.
What’s up with all the hostility?
Strollers for that age baby suck – they are all big. I carried my baby around in a Bjorn or Ergo carrier because I could not stand lugging around a big stroller. Soon you will be able to move to a Volo (only $100, haters), and your life will be a lot easier. By the way, I never bumped the kid up or down steps – I’d take him out and collapse the stroller. No biggie. I live on the 4th floor of a walk-up, and if I can do it, anyone can!
if you are anything like my neighbors you just stand at the foot of your stairs til someone comes along and you ask them to help you up the stairs lol
*rob*
CMU: Good one!
Why am I not surprised that this moron is involved in the banking industry?
Thanks, Jaguar, for invoking Godwins’s Law Lite.
If you can afford a $1200 stroller, maybe you can hire a coolie to carry up the stairs for you you fucking retard.
Because, MM, you don’t live in Park Slope. Or the upper West side. Entitlement runs amok here, hand-in-hand with Mommy (and Daddy) insecurity. Hence the SUV stroller.
