When the Bugaboo came out, I told everyone I thought it was an $800 status symbol. Now that I’m pregnant, I want one. Am I a major hypocrite?
Oh, the Bugaboo, BMW of the stroller world—so easy to hate and even easier to love. It looks good, it drives well, and pushing it with one hand while drinking a latte makes you feel a little bit less like a frumpy new mom. Among the reasons you’re no longer anti-Frog may be that it has become such an integral part of the city landscape that the excessive price tag has begun to seem normal. This means that half the people you ranted to don’t remember your stroller manifesto. Those who do will indeed call you a hypocrite, but what’s important is that you’re happy. Before you drop a crapload of money on it, however, do your research and confirm that it is, in fact, your perfect pram. Though it has many pluses, the Bugaboo’s size makes it a bitch to take on the subway and to squeeze through narrow deli aisles. I like the phil&teds model—it’s easy to push and you can always convert it to a double down the road—and I’d pick a Maclaren for when you need something lightweight. But who am I to talk? In my pre-kid days, I mocked anyone who owned more than one stroller.

I think most women prekid realize they are post kid hypocrits....I want a stokke and that is the same price without bassinet. Before I thought it was ridiculous to have a 1 year old bday party of more than mom and dad.....my son turns one in October....his party theme is Jungle Boogie
