These strollers that Mutsy makes seem to be very sturdy. I will only buy strollers that are made for the rugged outdoors. Too many strollers that you find in the super stores have cheap plastic wheels. Cheap wheels won’t work for me. I have to have the big wheels. We live on a gravel road where the mail box is about 1/2 a mile away.
The Mutsy strollers also look to be multi functional. I love when you can use something from birth to as long as possible. My kids were both over 8 lbs when they were born. I knew they were going to be big too so I never got an infant car seat/carrier. I also never worried about the stroller. I just used towels to help them keep their heads up. However, we were looking at strollers with multiple uses.
Here is what Mutsy says on their site.
interchangeability > The quintessential stroller for today’s modern parents,
the Mutsy Urban Rider offers unparalleled flexibility for baby transport.
Featuring strikingly clean lines for an urban-chic feel, your Urban Rider
provides a full-sized, cosseting bassinet for baby and a separate,
completely
adjustable seat to use as baby grows. The car seat adaptor,
dinner tray,
babysitter, shopping basket and Funseat are available
separately. All components
can be easily interchanged.Mutsy also makes seating. I like the style high chair they make. It is very similar to the Stokke brand which is what we purchased. The child can grow with the seat. They are also able to sit at the table. One less tray to clean when they are sitting at the table. I think they also feel closer to the family meal.
You know, I have found that as I learn about more products, I buy what I know is good. I had never seen Mutsy before blogging. I have seen Mutsy on Momdot and on a few other sites. They seem to be a great company. I don’t have first hand experience so I’m not going to pretend that I do, but if you know about all of your options for seating and strollers then you’ll find you don’t have to settle for a piece of junk. Our first stroller was not very good. We had a Jeep jogging stroller. It drove me crazy. The front wheel was locked in place so I had to lift the stroller whenever I wanted to turn. Don’t ever buy a stroller that has a locked wheel.
Oh and just a quick question, what was your first thought with the ad above?
so… did they forget the baby? or did half-naked man toss it up in the air and is just waiting for it to come back down…
It’s kind of like the Mountain Buggy rebranding which has moms drinking cocktails with their strollers – but no babies. I think it’s supposed to make the stroller about the mom, not the baby. Quinny also has a similar thing going with a couple going to the beach – but there’s actually not a picture of a stroller in any of the lifestyle shots.
I have to say I was wondering about the half naked man myself. Are the two of them going to get together and make a baby. I mean, I’m a happily married mommy.
My first thought was that that gal looks NOTHING like a mom (missing the kid, for one-walking in that outfit for another). I didn’t even notice the guy in there until you asked what I think of the ad!
Where’s the baby?
