So … I’m in the market for a new stroller system. 

The handle snapped off mine today, randomly, in the middle of a major excursion at an outdoor mall. It may or may not have been caused by the overly-large, overly-heavy diaper bag that has been hanging from it since 2008.

Luckily, I was with my friend Anna who also suffers from the same Curse of Weird Things that has seemed to plague me since birth. She thought nothing of it. 

In fact, she loaded her daughter (pictured here) into my dilapidated stroller and rolled her … how I don’t know … so that I wouldn’t have to. 

With a baby strapped to my chest, completing simple tasks is a challenge. Maneuvering a handle-less stroller would not have worked for me.

I can barely maneuver a fully operable stroller, on a good day. I think we can all agree it’s best to know your limits.
