Despite the fact that Michael was a bit under the weather, and Robin protested that I was sitting on the floor, we managed to assemble our first-to-arrive key baby tool -- the Stokke Xplory.
You see it here assembled with the "newborn" setup -- that's a pretty sizeable carry cot meant for babies 0-6months. Then we switch to Phase 2, which has a different seat and makes the Xplory look a lot more like a traditional stroller -- except that baby can be facing us OR facing away, AND be at waist height, rather than low like a traditional stroller. No bending awkwardly to lift is always a good thing, IMHO.
So far, the main drawback to the Xplory are mainly that the machinations of those Clever Norwegians will take awhile to understand. Perhaps because we've been sick... but we will have a learning curve here. Of course, I believe that this is true, to a certain extent, with most strollers.
In the plus department, once things ARE assembled and you've figured out how to attach, move, adjust, etc., it's ridiculously easy to do so. The stroller moves extremely smoothly. And the textiles are WONDERFUL against your skin -- incredibly soft. They also include the cute baby blanket, color-coordinated to your textiles....
We're looking forward to having a small person to put in the stroller.
Love,
Kristiana & Michael
