There are many, strollers available on the market. If possible, ask to test the stroller before you purchase it. Different strollers have different handling options and some are more user-friendly than others. When choosing a stroller, you should consider a few things:

* Is this for a single or multiple babies?
* Do you need space underneith? How much?
* Cost
* Is it easy to assemble and take down
and so many more to consider..

Funny you brought up baby strollers. I'm a wooden baby stroller collector. I prefer wood over metal for a few reasons. One is because they float. A very big plus if the baby is pushed into very deep water. Another is they don't attract lightning. Babies don't look very good once the get hit with a lightning bolt.

My collection consists of over 3000 strollers of various design. I'm planning a trip to Europe in the next 20 minutes to pick up another one.

As for you making this post in a woodworking forum, I'm willing to bet...no I'm sure you have a website that sells strollers...but do you have any wood ones?

Here are some of examples of the better "floaters".

Mike,

ROTFLMAO!

Where were you when my kids were growing up? So many times we were at the beach and left the kids in the stroller while the tide came in.

We got many a STERN lecture

from the life gurads. A floating stroller would have been great!

Those are great! I was wondering what to do out at the pond with the kiddo when a flash flood strikes. I can just fish her out of the pond with a net. I bet they are biodegradeable too, always wondered where all the strollers went when the kids grew out of it.

Hey, CM, isn't that top one the same design used by that toddler that crossed the English Channel? Boy, did he get one serious time out when he got back.
