When I went stroller shopping 25 years ago, I gave every stroller what I call the “subway-schlepper’s test”: I held my then-baby in one arm and, with my free hand, attempted to fold, sling over my elbow, and re-open the stroller. Any stroller for which I couldn’t accomplish this feat of dexterity was illegible for purchase. The then-Cadillac of strollers, Aprica, was sturdy as a battle tank and a very good choice for parents with cars, but was too big and heavy for handling on subways and busses. We ended up with a Maclaren, which lasted, if I remember correctly, for about a year and a half. Status had nothing to do with my choice. Fortunately, I don’t remember it having been an issue at the time. Good grief, is there anything that’s *not* a status symbol in some segments of the Jewish community?

Those super expensive ones are all the rage in Tokyo too. Couple women bring those things into shul, its like trying to park a Hummer

If me and the wife ever have kids, I’m gonna design and build one for her, something optimized for the streets and hills of Tokyo, knobby tires and hand brakes. Something with a fold back roof, viewing panel with snap down covers for the rainy season, maybe a built in cooling system for the brutal summers.

I love the ones who buy the status symbol stroller of the moment, but say it’s because they liked the options that model offered. The insist they would NEVER buy the status symbol stroller just because it “in” but they just have no choice because of the ergonomically designed baby footrest (or something equally ridiculous.)

Anon, no kidding, I always wonder which one of the grandparents or tzedaka giver slaved at work an extra couple days for that monstrosity.
