2. God, that makes my fingers hurt just thinking about it.

One amputation should have been enough.

3. We got a Maclaren for my son on his current trip

It's going back to the store. Heard complaints that it was not comfortable and the settings were difficult, etc.

Back to the City Jogger and prayer that the next trip (on Thanksgiving Day) won't damage the jogger.

5. Graco worked for us

About 1/5th the cost of Mclaren strollers too.

8. Yeah, well, we got the Bugaboo and the City Jogger

We're taking the City Jogger to Vegas with us.

He's VERY comfy with it.
