Momma Style Stroller

I spent years researching strollers; long before we were pregnant, long before we were married, even before my husband proposed.  I have been obsessed with baby gear for years.
When we finally did conceive our sleepybear, I knew exactly which stroller our little bundle was going to ride around town in.

The Stokke Xplory is the ultimate luxury stroller.  I know there are Bugaboo diehards out there who will argue differently.  But after trying them both, I can honestly say there is nothing that compares with an Xplory.



This stroller will set you back quite a bit.  For a complete stroller with bassinet and toddler seat, you are looking at approximately $1400.00.  I can assure you it is worth every penny.

PROS:
-Reversible Seat
-Incredible Seat Height
-Sleek Design
-Great Maneuverability
-Doubles as Highchair
-Adjustable Footrest
-Car Seat Compatible (with adapters)
-Lightweight Chassis
-Beautiful Colours
-Footwear Friendly Brake
-Large Stride
-Chic

CONS:
-High Price Point

The Xplory is considered the ultimate connection stroller.  No other pram, pushchair, stroller, or travel system has your baby seated this high up.  Sleepybear is propped up nice and high, patiently awaiting my smiles and kisses as we stroll through the city.  When looking for a luxury stroller, performance is important, but when it is coupled with the fabulous height of this stroller, you will never look at another pram again.  The seat height is adjustable, making climbing in and out for older children a breeze.  This adjustability is also what allows the Xplory to be used as a highchair.  Just turn the seat to face outwards and lower it to perfect dining companion height.


Sleepybear has enjoyed every minute of being up high in his Xplory, interacting with the world around him.  I love being able to talk to him when we go out together.  I see other mothers pushing their little ones around in strollers so low to the ground the baby is practically sitting on the floor.  I am so thankful for the Xplory and the bonding it allows.

The height alone is enough to give the Xplory an A+, but there is so much more to this stunning Norwegian import.  The easily reversible seat snaps in and out with ease.  Now that sleepybear is out of the bassinet, I use the main stroller seat constantly.  When we go out for lunch, I park the stroller at the table and snap the seat out to flip around with my heavy baby in it.  This stroller makes lunch dates a breeze when baby and momma are out on the town.

Pushing this stroller is a dream.  It maneuvers wonderfully over all kinds of surfaces.  Whether strolling through the park or shopping downtown, you and baby will be gliding everywhere.

The large orange brake pedal on the Xplory is very footwear friendly.  Flip flops, high heels, or flats can easily step on the brake to park your stroller.  No fussing around required.

There is ample room when walking with Xplory for tall parents or guardians.  A family friend complained to me recently of having to walk on the side when pushing her granddaughter in a popular mini stroller.  She was in awe at the Xplory and how friendly it was to those of us lucky enough to be statuesque.

Our Xplory is a showstopper to boot.  Everywhere we go, people are always asking about our beautifully chic stroller.  For those who love to set trends and turn heads, this is the stroller for you.

No other stroller on the market will provide you with the wonderful bonding opportunities and savvy style that the Xplory does.  If money is a factor for you, I would recommend skipping a ton of unnecessary baby items and saving for the Xplory.  The myriad of features on this gem justify the price.  If money is not a factor, splurge and get yourself all of the wonderful accessories that accompany this gorgeous pushchair.

The Xplory is the ultimate in Momma Style.
