My wife bought some in winter 09 and holy shit...I had no idea anything like this existed.
My co-worker bought some over the weekend and we spent a good half hour extolling its virtues.

My game collection and my consoles were boxed up yesterday, so no gaming for the next week or so.

I've been buying a lot of electricity and natural gas. I'm so happy to be a home owning adult!
Pffft. That ain't nuthin'. I'll send you copies of the invoices for the windows, HVAC, and hot water heater we just finished having installed so you can get a preview of some of the TRUE "joys of homeownership" that await you down the road.

Items we're buying: car seats, crib, changing table, stroller [and jesus fucking christ, god damned strollers should come with a 350 small block pre-installed for what they cost]. Next up is the new car (to replace my 1997 Acura CL with 170k miles before I am forced to pay for my 3rd timing belt and another set of brakes and tires)--flip-flopping between a 2007 and 2009 Accord at this point.

We never used a stroller until the Spawn was old enough for an umbrella stroller (which are like $30). Unless you plan on doing a lot of walking/jogging with the baby as exercise, they don't get much use. When the Spawn was a teenie-tiny, we had a car seat with an infant carrier and a baby sling . Nearly every place you go where you think you will need a stroller, like stores and malls, rents strollers for like $2, or has carts that you can just put the infant carrier in.

I'm a somewhat tall dude, and strollers were always just a few inches too short for me. Put a little dude in a well-adjusted backpack thing and I could pack him around all day.
We didn't really figure this out until the second kid, so I'm giving you the inside track. Infant carrier for a while, then the baby-wearing thing until they insist they're going to walk on their own. Babyhawks can be made in awesome punk fabric designs for your young ameritrasher as well.

I totally forgot about that. Yeah, strollers were too short for the man to use them. Once the Spawn was older, he always preferred to carry her around in a back pack thing. I only used the umbrella stroller when I was out without him. And when I was out without him, there was no way I was going to be hauling a full sized stroller in and out of the back of the car on my own.
The only people I know that used their strollers were women that jogged who got jogging strollers (and those do cost a lot but the women who use them say they are totally worth it), and people with multiples or two or more kids under four at the same time who got double or triple strollers.

We also have the stroller, but it's a pain to pack in our Mazda 3. We'll probably buy a bigger car this year.
