Would you give someone the side eye for having two strollers on their registry?
I am registering for the graco jogging stroller that is compatible with graco snugride 35 car seat, but also would like a graco snap n go for quick every day use with the infant seat.
I don't expect anyone to buy our strollers or car seat necessarily, but am putting them on the registry anyways just in case someone is feeling generous - I can't decide if it's rude for me to include both strollers though. Thoughts?

I personally wouldn't be put off if someone had two strollers on their registry.

1) I wish I did this.
2) I just saw that my cousin did this and was jealous!
I guess maybe non parents might be like "WTF why does she want two strollers" but if one clearly says jogging they'd probably get why you'd need more than one.

I wouldn't even think twice about it. Those are two totally different and very reasonably priced strollers.

Nope, I wouldn't be put off at all.
On Amazon, most things you register for that doesn't get purchased, you get 10% off (there might be some exclusions) later on if you buy it yourself.. so I always tell new moms to register for as many things as they can, even the really expensive ones that they don't expect anyone to buy.

I did this, one was a travel system the other was an Umbrella! I got both.

I don't think it's bad to have two strollers, they serve different purposes. And it's not like you're forcing people to buy them, it's just a suggestion to help people find what you want/need.

I wouldn't think twice about it. Also, I recommend the Graco-specific snap-n-go over the generic one. The carseat felt much more secure in it.
Like @kjpugs: said, non-parents might give you the side eye, but own it. I have three strollers if it makes you feel better (Snap-n-go, BOB, and a Bumbleride), all of which I purchased myself (the last two are used). Let them judge.

Nope, not at all. I had a GLuxe and a Snap n Go on mine and my cousins all chipped in and bought both. Definitely do that.

I would do it! worst case scenario is someone makes a joke about it, but best case scenario is you get gifted all of them!
I had people go together and buy our city mini for my shower, so you never know. and someone did buy the carseat too.

I did it-- registered for an everyday stroller and an umbrella. I hope no one gave us the side eye, they have very different purposes, plus The completion discount is a big bonus if no one were to get them. I was shocked that we actually got both though as gifts!

Nope. I think a regular stroller/snap n go and a jogging stroller is totally understandable.

I feel like most people have 2 strollers around where I live -- the jogger and then a small one for navigating city streets.
Plus its your registry, no need for judgment - maybe you are just indecisive

I registered for 3! I had the snap n go, the city mini gt and an umbrella stroller. I got all 3 for various uses.

I really don't care what people register for! Well, that's not true--I do care if there are very few items in my price range. So two, three, whatever number of strollers wouldn't bother me.

I was VERY turned off by my girlfriend who had a City Select and BOB on her registry. Yes, they are different but they are both $350+. But yours are not! And a click-n-go is not a stroller at all 
I wouldn't think twice about it.

@CupQuakeWalk: maybe she wanted the benefit of the registry completion discount?

I think it's fine! I especially agree because of the completion discount. And honestly, I agonized over what to put on our registry, and then exactly TWO things got purchased off of it. Moral of the story-not worth the stress. Do what you want.
@CupQuakeWalk: @Happygal: I've gotten more annoyed when there are *only* expensive things on the registry that I can't afford. I think that was before I realized about the completion discount, though.

I wouldn't think anything of it! Besides, two strollers can be useful...sometimes 3 or 4 or 5 (ahem, I mean, I don't have a stroller buying problem ).

I think it's fine. And even if no one buys either, can't you use the completion discount to get both?

Not rude at all. I suggest to all my newly pregnant friends that they'll probably want two!

@Happygal: I hope so? I understand that just because it's on the registry doesn't mean you expect to get it but I was immediately like "jeesh girlfriend!"

i never really pay attention to the types of items on people's registry. I just scan the prices and look for something in the range that i want to spend on them. so i wouldn't think twice or notice. i would only be annoyed if there was nothing in the price range i wanted to spend!

Nope! Even if they were both expensive, I don't put things on the registry solely to get it from other people. It's also to get a completion discount.
