Does my baby look big in this? What your stroller says about you

Let's assume for a moment that as fathers we have the ultimate say in what kind of buggy gets bought for our baby (or let's assume that we are all masters in the art of influencing our partners in such a way that they think they got what they wanted). The result is ... we've got a new stroller for the baby. But what does that stroller say about our personality? So here is the ultimate DIYFather take on stroller personality types for fathers:

Mountain Buggy Terrain XL
You are obsessed with the outdors. Mountains, beaches and mud holes are in your blood and you live every moment to escape the city. This tractor of a stroller is not for your kid, but rather for the kid in you. You are constantly tempted to sit in the stroller yourself and ride down a steep mountain ridge. You are a mountain goat.


Quinny Buzz Stroller
You appreciate the finer things in life and only bought this hideous buggy to show off. You drive a BMW M-series and take your kids to the golf club. Only the coolest restaurants in town will do for you. Form over function is your mantra and you don't believe in practicality. Easy-to-use strollers are bought by people who can't afford the ones they really want. You work in sales.
Phil and Teds Sport Buggy Stroller
You know the test results of all 311 buggies and strollers on this planet and you bought the one that come out on top using your 95-point evaluation matrix. Ubiqity, endurance, comfort and clever features spin your wheels when buying things. You are a parenting geek.
Baby Jogger City
Your modus operandi is to avoid any hassle when doing anything with the kids. You don't really care about anything much and live for the moment. Organisation, rationality and logic are alien concepts for you but you love listening to Eric Clapton. You are lazy and you don't have a car. You are a dreamer.
Maclaren Techno XLR
You pride yourself on finding the diamond in the rough - although on this occasion you failed and ended up with a lemon. You appreciate things with substance and acquire objects that define you. What a bummer you were drunk the day you bought this buggy. You are a loser.

So which one are you?

I'm a loser baby. Not only

I'm a loser baby. Not only do I own a MacLaren Techno, I have the double version for our twins. I like it fine, except that it has trouble negotiating rough terrain like cracks in the sidewalk. I lived about a ten minute walk from our local park and would have to hoist the front wheels repeatedly to avoid bumps in the pavement. I used the ramming method a few times and the seatbelts held admirably. I call it a mall stroller because it was designed for poured concrete or marble flooring.

Yeah great read - ive always

Yeah great read - ive always been a Phil & Teds fan even before I was even thinking of having a baby, I like the brand and how it looks against its competitors. Its a pity that the staff are way to hard to get hold of, so there is only a 1/2 salute to P & T's!

Great read Stefan, well I

Great read Stefan, well I think it makes Scott and I 'Parenting Geeks' :-)
