Stroller Obsession

I have an obsession for strollers. I've been reading reviews & researching them now for 3 yrs (yes...it's been THAT long). Here's what I'd have in my stroller stable if money were no object:

MUTSY - just because I've been eyeing this line for about 3 yrs now. It JUST arrived in the US from Netherlands. It comes with the bassinet & seat. Pricing at about $700.




BEBECAR - because I love this brand! Bebecar comes by way of Portugal and has just entered the US market. I actually already have a Bebecar but since we are talking in terms of "if money were no object...", I'd buy the Stylo AT pictured below. I love that Bebecar (& Mutsy) rides higher than most stroller brands. Retails for about $600 not including bassinett ($175).




Baby-Planet - this is the new kid on the block amongst the umbrella strollers. It was conceived in Chicago and is manufactured in China. According to reviews out there, it's a very high quality stroller line with lots of features normally attributed to pricier brands. This retails for about $259.



Perhaps the BIGGEST draw for me to Baby Planet is their recycle program:

We at Baby Planet are very concerned with current state of the environment and the continued overcrowding of landfills by discarded consumer products. In an effort to reverse this negative trend we would like to help you recycle your stroller.

In the near future you will be able to come to this web site and download a shipping label that will allow you to ship your old Baby Planet stroller back to us "Free of Charge".

Once returned, if we can squeeze a little more life out of your stroller, we'll clean it up, make it road worthy and donate it to a charity in need of children's products. If we decide its better days are now behind it, we will disassemble your stroller, so we can send the parts to a recycling center. Once disassembled, the metal, fabric and plastic of your old stroller is 100% recyclable.

All we ask is that if you no longer have the original box, you locate a new one to assist with shipping. We will recycle that too!

At Baby Planet we are doing our part to save the world that surrounds your baby.


In addition to the pretty as icecream "Solo Deluxe" model above, Baby Planet will be rolling at the "Universal Max Pro" - a universal car seat carrier. Looks somewhat like the Stokke Explory.

This model sells for about $199.
