WTF should I buy (A consolidated list of bad decisions)

700?  holy shit,  I thought our bob was expensive.
yeah we did a cheap umbrella in each car for daily use,  and a big bob in the bottom of the coat closet for hikes or significant trips.

We weened the kids off of them pretty quick too,  you just have to be ok with moving around a bit slower.  Well worth it though.

yeah, they can get expensive. the Thule Chinook my wife wanted for running with the kiddo (couldn't even use it in the 1st year because of her age/size) was over $1k. I've used it to trailer behind the bike and my wife used it for her runs with the kiddo. Now it sits in the garage mostly unused, but our 'everyday' stroller was either a cheap target umbrella or a bi-folding Graco 3-wheeled one. We haven't really used a stroller since she turn a little after 3. i just carry the kiddo on my shoulders if she doesn't want to walk or if i want to go quicker.

I'd be hard-pressed to get a bigger vehicle (more costly vehicle) to accommodate a big/expensive stroller that you'll use for a couple years. how heavy is the stroller? i'd be willing to haul it up the stairs, but usually townhomes like that have a closet or something at the base near the front door. do you not have that?
