7 Signs You Might Be a Stroller Addict - by US Japan Fam
Hi, my name is Heather and I'm addicted to strollers. We have 3 children ages 4-6 (including twins), are living in a tiny 950 square foot apartment in Brooklyn, and yet we have managed to own a total of FOURTEEN strollers (maxed out at 5 at one time). Yes, you read that correctly. Here are the strollers we've had, some for as little as a week, others for 2+ years!! Be sure to click the ** links for my full blog reviews, my demo videos are embedded at the end of this post:

​I just might have a problem... Here are some signs you might have a problem, too!


1. You have more than one stroller.
​Heck, you probably have more than a few strollers. Possibly a good half dozen or so! And the funny thing? You can justify your desperate need for each and every one of them!!! 

2. You're always lusting after the latest and greatest.
The one, or 4, you already have are still in perfectly good condition. But you're bored. You want a new baby, a new stroller baby, that is! Your heart actually skips a beat when your favorite stroller brand comes out with a new model or special edition.

3. You pimp out your (baby's) ride.
Custom seat liners, matching canopies, luxory diaper bag, stroller muffs, air-filled tires, you name it. Your little one rides in style!!

4. You have strollers in every nook and cranny.
Every car has one in the trunk, and your garage and closets are at capacity with strollers. Maybe you even begged your significant other to build some shelving space for them. Heck, you may have developed a product for smartly storing strollers indoors like the 2 moms behind MetroTot stroller hanger & CityStork stroller wheel covers!


5. You know how to score a deal.
Black Friday, Cyber Monday, local and online stroller resale groups (StrollerQueen StrollerSwap!!!), trade in events, blog giveaways, you name it. You know how to sell your old strollers to help finance a new one, and you know the best ways to save big!

6. You get stroller envy.
Walking through the park or the grocery store, you're constantly on the lookout. Who is pushing what stroller, what accessories are they sporting (here are my faves!!), is there one you haven't seen before? No shame - go and ask the mom about it!!! Maybe ask to take it for a quick test drive!

7. You're the go-to girl for your friends and family.
When someone is having a baby or needing a new stroller, you are the one they look to for advice. Because you know, well, pretty much EVERYTHING about strollers!!! You may even publish guides such as "7 Best Double Strollers for Families", "The Best New Strollers for Every Budget", or "Stroller Shopping Tips"!

Did I miss any signs of stroller addiction? Are you an addict??? Share your story in a comment below! Tell us the stroller you love most and why. Maybe it'll be the next stroller added to my collection!

​And just for fun, I'll embed my stroller review & demo videos below!!

Hello my name is Celine and I need to share this stroller obsession with someone! I googled "stroller addict" and got here. First, I got a STOKKE Xplory because i thought it looked sleek, classy and modern, plus heard that it's amazing scandinavian quality. Then when my baby reached 6 months I got a Quinny Yezz Air as an umbrella stroller for quick trips to the mall or visits to family. Now I ordered the babyzen yoyo+ because I think it's practical for traveling. But today I saw the Bugaboo bee3 and fell in love... Am I insane? :P

Hahaha!! Thanks for sharing, Celine!! You're definitely not alone, but if you find yourself replacing dining room chairs with spare strollers, and going on an instant ramen diet to help save for the next stroller, you may have a problem LOL!!

This is really a funny article as I remember my neighbor who has 3 strollers but, she only have one baby. And I actually asked her if she was a stroller addict and she kept on denying it. Now I am going to show her this article to prove I am right.
