It's a baby trend Explorer. Clisby |

Got it used, is great for off road walking and around the town stuff. The front wheel doesn't swivel, so can be a little cumbersome, but all in all, I love it. cara |

It's a baby trend Explorer. That's the one I'm looking at on Amazon (it's on sale, so I could get it for $120). Sometimes I think I'm crazy for it, but when we're in the US (where it would stay), we're in a place that doesn't have sidewalks, and walking in the wilderness is normal. Our in-town stroller doesn't work that well in that situation. I'm glad to hear you like it. I wish we were in a situation where I could get one for less, just so if I don't like it, I won't have buyer's remorse... E |

Is there something on it you'd prefer that it didn't have (or vice versa?)? E |

The folks who put it in their yard sale for $15 may not have had a clue (or they may not have cared and thought someone might as well get a good deal). --Helen |

wrote: What do "regular" strollers cost, anyway? If I had the choice between paying, say, $80 for the regular one and $120 for the jogging stroller, I think it's well worth $40 extra. My stroller was discounted because it was last year's fabric -- like the fabric made that much of a difference, but I digress. It was a regular stroller, and it cost less than AUD 100. That would be about USD 60 or so. -- ==Daye== Momma to Jayan #2 EDD 11 Jan 2004 E-mail: brendana AT labyrinth DOT net DOT au |

"Elana" wrote in message ... Opinions? I'm not going to jog, but off-road walking.. E I looked around and settled on the tike tech roadster. 16 inch wheels ( but they have 20's), light all aluminum frame pretty good canopy and an all weather cover that kept my daughter bone dry in sudden rain storm. Plenty of storage on the backs and sides, a small basket on the bottom, just add wheels assembly and most importantly it tracks really well. I am very very pleased with it, I think I paid about 180 for the stroller and all weather cover. The fame has a 15 year warrantee and the people at customer service reply promptly to emails so what's not to like ? The difference between the off road one and the roadster is the color and the treads on the wheels. Sandy |
