Strollers

For a man, pregnancy is like having a wedding - there's a lot of running around and screaming for about nine months until we get to a climactic and fulfilling final act in which we have an important but limited part, not unlike that of the Pips to Diana Ross. It's OK, we're fine with that.

Every now and again however, there's a point in either process where we get to use our natural born abilities to inject a little y chromosome into the goings on. For the wedding, this was helping choose the music, location, etc. For pregnancy, its in weighing in on things like the name of the baby, which sports teams he'll like, and my personal favorite - the stroller.

Since we have very little real impact on these things, its important that we take the few duties we do have seriously. For this reason, I've started a short list of stroller options that LaSandra and I will walk through later:

Ghetto stroller

Hot Rod strollers

Geek stroller

Gwen’s stroller

Environmentally conscious strollers

Admittedly, LaSandra isn't likely to take to any of these options right away. But for now, I think that's OK. These strollers are neat, but I think I'd like to hold out for something with a remote control. The baby stores we've been to haven't heard of a stroller like that, but we're probably just going to the wrong ones. I think we'll have more luck at Fry's.

Hey LaSandra, I'm curious as to what stroller you decide on. Please share when you have made a choice. Maybe you should just do a stroller review on your blog. :)

Stroller? Come on Jon...we all know the reason why LaSandra married a guy as tall as you was so she didn't have to push any strollers...she will just give the baby to you, just like when she goes shopping and makes you hold all the bags...haha
