Hey everyone...I'm a newbie to this board, and I have a question: Is it crazy to have three strollers? My son is 5 months old and before he was born, we bought a BOB jogger which we LOVE!!, and the Britax Vigour (which goes along with our carseat which was a gift), which we also LOVE! Unfortunately, we noticed that our son is bordering the size of a 10 month old, and the Britax bucket seat is a little on the shallow side. Even though we love the stroller, it doesnt' look like we'll get past a year of age with our son in it. Because of that, I recently purchased the Chicco C1 stroller online. It came yesterday, and my husband was furious. He refuses to own three strollers, but after I put it all together - it looks awesome! I really want to keep it for when my son gets older, but my husband thinks it's overkilll. What does everyone think? Anyone have more than three? ;) I need some Mom-comradery! =)

ONLY 3? lol, I have 4 strollers. My DH thought I was crazy too, but now I think he sees why I need them all.

I have:

Bob Revolution- I use this for almost everything in general. I have the car seat adaptor for my bucket.
Graco Quattro Tour- I don't need this one, but I could only get the pattern car seat I wanted with the travel system, so I keep it in the garage for quick trips around the block and to our community pool.
Graco Snap and Go- This is the stroller frame we used for our graco bucket seat. Great for travel and when they are tiny.
MaClaren Volo- This is my umbrella stroller that stays in the car and the one we usually take on the plane.

I'm curious why you don't just use the regular seat attachment on your Vigor? Not, that I'm suggesting that you shouldn't own one more ;-) I just really like the vigor with the toddler seat in it. Maybe I'm thinking of a different stroller?

Tell your DH there are other crazies out there like me who already have 4 and once we have a 2nd kids we shall own 2 more a BOB double and a MaClaren double!!!!

I own 6. ;-)   I know people that have well into the double digits ;-)  I started off with a Combi - which went with the car seat....but I'm not a fan of umbrella strollers, so eventually upgraded to the Graco Quattro Tour.  Then I got pregnant again and needed a double, which led me to the Valco Twin.  Turned out the Valco was great for outdoors but was difficult in crowded malls.  I then added the Phil and Teds Sport.  And because I wanted a reversible seat stroller when just out with the baby, I got an Uppa Baby Vista.  And then hen I wanted a small easily steered stroller for disney, I got a Quinny Zapp.  DH is definitely not thrilled with all the strollers, so some I keep hidden so he doesn't remember them. :-)
