While the sling's been working swell, the swing bearer has not. The boy's gotten a taste for travel too. When we're in the room, he kicks to signal that he wants up and looks to the door. It's hard NOT to succumb to the boy's wishes when he does this to you:

| Compelling, isn't it? |
And because of the decision to stay yaya-less, we bring him wherever we go. Needless to say, it's time we started looking for a stroller.
To be honest, baby wearing is great. You can commute via jeepney easily when you're carrying a sling around rather than a baby PLUS a stroller.
But for those times when terrain is going to be mostly pavement, and you have to lug other baggage around, a stroller sounds wonderful.
And while it IS tempting to be cheap, this is The Stroller. This item will see about 2-3 years of abuse, and probably another 2 to 3 years after.
Not that we're planning a follow up soon.
*cough*
...so began our quest for The Stroller.
Considerations:
- Must be good for all sorts of terrain (specially since the road outside the house is under repairs, and since elections are over, Malaya might be walking before the project is done).
- Must fold easily.
- Must be lightweight enough to carry around during travel.
- Must be able to hold an infant from 3 months to 3 years old.
- Must look metal. \m/ (The daddy insists)

So online window shopping we went.
