They usually are more expensive. I try to buy modern baby gear that could be multi-purpose but we usually end up having to pay more for them. :( We received the Stokke Tripp Trapp high chair for my LO's 1st birthday and it's gorgeous. We don't use it that much yet (I'm sure we will when he's older) but we keep it in our dining room because it looks so pretty nestled in with the other dining room chairs. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stroller-envy#post-76458 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 13:34:22 +0000 looch 76458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I need air filled wheels because I go on lots of uneven terrain and foam wheels, like the bugaboo, don't do well on rocky dirt and cobblestones, IMO. It also isn't compatible with our car seat, so for me, that was a serious dealbreaker since the car seat trumps stroller for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stroller-envy#post-76450 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 13:28:23 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 76450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: Seriously. I love baby items that "blend" and look a little modern. Sometimes they're so expensive, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stroller-envy#post-76438 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 13:22:31 +0000 banana 76438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.yoyo: I didn't realize it was such a nice baby item until I looked it up online to see how you use it. It's absolutely gorgeous in person and my LO loved it. I still have it in my living room as room decor. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stroller-envy#post-76433 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 13:19:47 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 76433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: That baby rocker was on my "if I had unlimited money" wish list! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stroller-envy#post-76421 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 13:14:10 +0000 banana 76421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't really inherit anything from family members because everyone was still planning on having more kids and wanted to keep all of their gear. So we bought most of our items (or received them as gifts off our registry). I haven't felt any baby product envy because we pretty much bought what we wanted. But I would've LOVED to receive hand me downs. We ended up buying so many items and some of them I regret. :( </p> <p>The one thing we did receive from a family friend was a Coco Bloom baby rocker that we absolutely love.</p> <p><a href="http://www.bloombaby.com/collection/main.php?sID=31" rel="nofollow">http://www.bloombaby.com/collection/main.php?sID=31</a></p> <p>And I really wanted a Bugaboo Bee, which we ended up buying. The only thing I wanted that I didn't buy for myself for a glider/rocking chair. Hoping someone will give us their used one! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stroller-envy#post-76333 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 12:02:53 +0000 cyndistar3 76333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im about to have carseat envy because my husband won't buy a new carseat since we are having another girl and we.already have one :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stroller-envy#post-76326 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 11:54:25 +0000 mrstilly 76326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kind of get it. We are getting everything we can second hand, since it's really all about function right now. But I registered for a stroller and carseat, and my in-laws bought a different one for us. I didn't realize the stroller was only available online, and they don't order stuff online, so they went with a travel system. It wasn't what I wanted (DH didn't care), but later I had some extra money and bought the jogger that I wanted. It is nice to be able to pick out the things you like and that will work for your lifestyle, and a stroller kind of is dependent on your lifestyle. </p> <p>At the same time, I cannot understand dropping a lot of money on an expensive stroller, especially one that you can't even run with. I spent under $400 on our jogger, and that was a huge splurge that we made because of the unexpected cash and both DH and I training for races. Maybe if I lived in a big city and used the stroller every single day, a more expensive one would be worth it, but I can't really see the difference between an $300 stroller and a $900 stroller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stroller-envy#post-76248 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 10:56:40 +0000 hilsy85 76248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: just curious, what didn't you like about the bugaboo? Its on our short list right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stroller-envy#post-76241 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 10:52:05 +0000 Andrea 76241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO stopped wanting to sit in a stroller ever since she started walking so I definitely am SO GLAD I don't have an uber expensive stroller. I do have a couple of cheaper strollers, though, so add them up and that is still a pretty penny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stroller-envy#post-76127 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 08:49:22 +0000 heffalump 76127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do. I couldn't afford the stroller I really want. But that's just life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stroller-envy#post-76125 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 08:46:56 +0000 mediagirl 76125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I would be upset if my in-laws or parents insisted on buying the stroller they wanted to give me instead of the one I wanted. I don't understand that. Just buy the big things off the registry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stroller-envy#post-76074 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 03:12:07 +0000 Rubies 76074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Of everything that I have, I have stroller envy. It's the only thing I wish I could redo. But I have to keep myself in check and remind myself that the one we have is totally fine... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stroller-envy#post-76071 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 03:09:55 +0000 looch 76071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have stroller envy, I will always have it because they are always coming up with new styles. I am currently crushing on the Phil and Teds Promenade. Before that it was the Bugaboo Chameleon, but I got over it when I took it for a test drive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stroller-envy#post-75781 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 22:00:05 +0000 twodoghouse 75781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have baby envy - does that count? :) I totally get what you're saying though and would feel the same way! My sister got married nine months before me and gave me a bunch of leftover stuff (generic stuff, not anything color/theme specific or anything!). I felt like a brat but some of it I just didn't use because I wanted to pick things out on my own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stroller-envy#post-75772 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 21:56:13 +0000 Cchoi4 75772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a little embarrassed to ask this but the husb and I have had an ongoing "argument" about this. </p> <p>We inherited a ton of baby-related stuff from his sister. While I am grateful for everything, especially all the $$$ she saved us, it was also somewhat of a burden to go through everything and accept things even though I did not want them. (She lives in a different state so whenever she came to visit, we just brought everything she could without asking what I could use or want)</p> <p>Case in point - I had a stroller in mind that I wanted but before I knew it, my SIL gave us two! (one regular, one umbrella). We use them and they are quite nice, but like a lot of things I received, they were not "my style" and prevented me from getting what I wanted.</p> <p>I know this sounds stuck up. I truly do not mean to appear that way. I know products/gear usually last a few years before baby no longer needs it and I should be saving for other things he will need in the future....I suppose I just felt a little jipped in wanting to pick out things for me and my little one.</p> <p>Do you have [insert product here] envy? </p>
