I think as early as the 3rd month of my pregnancy, hubby and I have been trying to find the “perfect” stroller. Now that it’s time to finally decide on which one to purchase. We are considering the following:
1. Maclaren Techno XT: for it’s lightness, very easy to fold & unfold, the lie flat feature, umbrella folding which is perfect when we travel to Pinas with baby.
Downside: Baby will be facing front. I will have to keep checking whether she is ok. I prefer that she facing me while I push the stroller around. Boring grey colour.

2. Bebe Confort Loola Up: for it’s face back & front options, reversible innovative winter & summer seat unit, funky colours, the lie flat feature, washable seats, easy to fold & unfold.
Downside: Apparently, it is quite heavy. We haven’t seen the actual stroller so I am still yet to test how heavy it is.
3. Petite Star Zia: for it’s lightness, very easy to fold & unfold, the lie flat feature, 3-wheel easy manouever & funky, unique compact fold. It is all I wanted in a stroller. It looks like the Quinny Zapp which Karen & Don bought but this one allows the child to lie flat which is the only downside of the Quinny Zapp!
Downside: NOT AVAILABLE IN DUBAI! No online sites will deliver to Dubai. It is available in Mothercare UK but cannot be ordered from Mothercare here.
I am finding myself feeling frustrated because the one “perfect” stroller that I want I cannot get a hold of 
Ah well… have to think and I guess just decide between 1 and 2.

I’ve seen strollers here where it’s a baby carrier that attaches to the frame of a stroller - now that’s something I would prefer - a two in one dealio.
Good luck ‘te Mae. If it’s something that’s available here maybe I can buy it for you and ship it there? Let me know!

YEVKA: Who’s Becky Bloomwood?
REG: The thing is babies grow so fast, those baby carrier’s become redundant after just a few months when the baby prefers to roam around and see the world. That’s why we are looking at investing in something that will be useful for at least a year. Anyway, thanks for the offer. That’s a long way away to ship! hehehehee. Hugz! Again, thanks.

Hmmmm… Graco has good stuff. The one am using the bermuda. It comes in with the car seat, base for the car seat and stroller. Its good because its very light weight. It folds/unfolds easy. Lalo na when I take baby out and I john isn’t around to put it in the trunk for me :) hehehe!
H I wish I could help out :(
Ps…

Still - if you find anything else I wouldn’t mind at least checking how much it would be to ship to you!

GRACE: Hey thanks! I will surely check that out. Definitely need something light weight kasi nga main concern namin is like yours…when our man is not with us.
Hmmm… I think I should read that book about Shopaholic. I know I used to be one and have very strong tendencies! hehehe.
REG: Many many thanks ha!!! Hugz! You’re really sweet.
