It's a sickness

OK, so I have a confession to make- I'm a strollerholic.
I started out as any other first time mom- I had a travel system given to me by my parents before Nate was born. There was a lovely stroller that came with it, and I used it and loved it. However, the time came when I thought it would be nice to have a more compact stroller, so I was given an umbrella stroller (also from my parents) for Christmas when Nate was 6 months old. My life was perfect, I had a big stroller when I needed it, and I had a little stroller when I needed it.
But then Graham came along. My nice travel system stroller went by the wayside. I needed something that I could put a car seat in, and that Nate could also ride in. I needed a double stroller. So I got a Sit-N-Stand. I used that one quite a bit when Graham was tiny. It was a lovely stroller, but a little hard to steer sometimes. In the midst of this, some oil spilled in my trunk, and the umbrella stroller got all oily. I tried to clean it, but I never was able to. I was worried about it getting all of my kids' clothes oily. So I got a new umbrella stroller a while ago. It was kind of a nicer kind of umbrella stroller. It has a basket to hold things in, and it can recline a little. I LOVE it. It is my second favorite stroller.
But then I wanted to start running, and I looked into jogging strollers. So I guess 2 years ago or so, I used our tax return and got myself a double jogging stroller. This is my favorite stroller for most cases. It handles SO easily, and I just love it. The only problem is, it is wide. It does not fit through a standard door. Blah.
OK, so there you have enough strollers to seat 6 kids. I used all of them when the time was right for each. But then I one day got to the point where I was annoyed by how bulky double strollers are when you plan to take public transportation. It was such a pain to take either double on the metro when we were going anywhere, and it was near impossible to take it on the Light Rail into Baltimore. So..... along came stroller seat number 7- a cheap little umbrella stroller. That way we can have the two seats, without a bulky double stroller. Only works when there are two adults. And my life has been complete. I never use my first stroller anymore, and am planning on selling it in the next few months.
But then I went to Toys R Us tonight. When I went, I had no intention of coming away with another stroller. I in fact was avoiding that very thing. But then the infant car seat that I wanted was not available for order into the store, so I could not get it with my 25% trade in discount. And I could either order in this other car seat that I didn't like as well, and was more expensive than the one I wanted, or..... or...... I could get a travel system with a car seat that I liked and plan on selling the stroller right away. I ended up doing it, since I was getting a 15% discount and then a 25% discount, and I can probably sell the stroller, and end up paying less for the seat that I would have for the other seat that I didn't like as well.
So now I am the proud owner of strollers to sit 8.
I have 2 kids in case anyone forgot.
It's a sickness.
The good news is that at this point, (well, at a point after the cheap umbrella) I am totally satisfied with my stroller situation. So I'm done with intentionally buying strollers. I'm now onto my selling stroller phase of life. Wish me luck.
