Today's post has nothing to do with anything I'm planning on buying. It's just something I came across when doing a little online searching for strollers. Don't forget I have two grand children due in a month or so.
Anyway, while looking at strollers I came across the iCandy stroller. The picture looked good so I clicked to check it out. And what jumped out at me was the price.
The one I clicked on cost $1000 (actually $999 but why quibble). Really? Is this stroller made out of gold? Does it have diamond studded handles?
To be fair, not all of them cost this much. One of them was a mere $250, and most were in the $500 dollar (and up) range. That's a lot of money to wheel your kid around. Kind of reminds me of those high dollar designer purses. You know, the ones where you're paying for the name but otherwise, they're not much different from the purses you'd get in your local department store.
Naturally I looked closer, trying to determine what could possibly make a stroller cost that much.
For starters, it's British made. I'm not sure that makes it better... I'm just sayin'.
Turns out this stroller has some really nice features you can't get anywhere else. Does that make it worth the money? Well I guess that depends on you. If you have the money to spend then maybe it will be worth it to you. If you don't, you'll probably do just as well with some of the other strollers I've already mentioned in this blog.
If you want to see for yourself just what makes the stroller better, then go ahead and check out my latest Squidoo lens.
