One of the things we LOVE to do with Ezra is go for a walk. Well, we even go for walks without Ezra, so maybe we just LOVE to walk. We have Ezra a couple few times of week, when we're lucky, and Jessica is tutoring. Since we really can't work when he's around, we like to go for a walk around the neighborhood. He has his own stroller, a Phil+Ted stroller, that is totally awesome. But I am totally unable to open or close the darn thing. They've shown me many times, but I just can't seem to get it. Plus the wheel was flat (this thing has awesome air filled tires) for awhile, and sometimes Jessica forgets to bring it up (probably because the thing barely fits in her trunk).
So after consulting with friends and family we decided to get an umbrella stroller. It's easy to open and close, doesn't take up much room, and is really open while the little guy is riding in it. We visited Babies R Us, which is an experience in and of itself. Have you been there? It is huge. We were told that the one in Dublin is not one of the "upscale" ones. I wonder what that's all about?
We were narrowing in on the Britax when the rep was there and she was really helpful. We then did a bit of research on the internet, went back to Babies R Us (Dave was in shopping hell by now), and finally purchased on the internet.
We missed out on a couple of freebies from friends who had just given away their umbrella strollers, so we decided to pull the trigger and buy the B Nimble Britax. We LOVE it, and Ezra seems to enjoy it too.

Good call on the umbrella stroller. Their Phil & Ted is big and HEAVY as I recall. I'll need to start lifting weights if I ever have one!
You forgot to check H-D bet they have one with lots of crome.
