Okay let us have it guys. What is the best baby stroller available on the market today. Oh, and don't limit it there. We want to know about the car seats and all the other baby toting stuff. Hehe.

I dont know about strollers, but here is a really cool child safety seat. It certainly would look good in the MINI:

I'd start off with a "Snuggly". Great way to carry young babies when you are out-n-'bout. The warmth from your body and the sound of your heartbeat soothes them. You can go about your business and they sleep the sleep of the innocent.

I'm way out of touch on strollers and car seats. I would check in "Consumer Reports" they review them regularly.

Motor on, Dudes and Dudettes!!!

You wanna make me cry? I carried my baby around in a snuggly for a couple of years. Then onto the back pack and he loved it so much. Got to dig up those pics and scan them in for you all.

OK....we are hoping to get one of the new UK designed Silver Cross "compact" strollers to use in the MINI and for using as the fast and light stroller.

The other, fantastically expensive stroller system, is a Dutch thing called a Bugaboo Frog. You get a very cool frame and then you can snap on thier a bassinet, a car seat or a srler seat.

Here are some pics

I carried two babies around for a couple of years. However, It is a little much to carry one on the front and one in the back pack. Did it a few times but only where the footing is very secure.

Looking down at that little tiny face, mostly just the top of a head, just below your chin as you walk about. Feeling the warmth of their body, and for a guy, feeling them move so close to your body. It was a wonderous thing.

HEY, where'd I put those piccys?

Bilbo, you are working on my tenderest feelings now.

Lets not move onto to the teenage years yet, okay?
