the stroller

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

The Boy has a good stroller. It's from the wildly popular Maclaren line, and it suits our purposes. Except that it's heavy and bulky to lug around when traveling.

Since The Boy's now getting bigger, we don't have to carry as much stuff. There's still a fair bit of it, but nothing like the bulk of the changes of clothing and so on that used to accompany us on the simplest excursions. So we don't really need something as large as our current one, with its under-seat sling and rear compartment.

Also, it's very much a sidewalk-and-indoors unit, suitable for the urban environment, but difficult to use on anything more rough.

So we're looking for something new. Something lightweight that just seats the boy and folds away nicely. Perhaps something with larger wheels (or fewer of them, at any rate). Retail being what it is in central Tokyo, I expect this to be a tall order. Gambarimashou.
