Where can you get this beauty now?  Well since it is now a sold-out limited edition, I usually have to say there are none left!  But we just got word that there are two more left of these beauties! Keep in mind these are refurbished strollers which means they have the exclusive Pink/Blue split fabric/canopies.  They do however have all black baskets instead of the initial baskets with one pink pocket and one blue pocket.  This full-loaded strollers still comes with matching footmuffs, a zip-in UV sunshade, tire pump and maintenance kit, cupholder and storm canopy.

Grab yours now at Let’s Go Strolling while they last and you can look at cool as Brooke pushing your kids!  Keep in mind that last December when we had located two of these valuable refurbished pink/blues, we sold them in less than a week so don’t dilly dally!

While we can easily speak to looks & comfort, we’re of course concerned with safety since it is our kids (and yours) that we’re talking about.  Clek impressed us with their attention to safety – evident in their use of a energy-absorbing foam combined with a magnesium frame and structural headrest to provide better impact and intrusion protection, easy latch installation for safety when you kids are and are not in their booster (no flying carseats upon impact folks!) and belt guides for safe seatbelt positioning.  Well the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety just released their ratings of Booster Seats and the Clek Oobr had their top rating and was chosen as one of their top “Best Best”.  Not that we were surprised of course, but 3^rd party verification is always awesome to have!

In honor of this accomplishment, we’re providing our loyal blog readers with a code to save 10% off the purchase of their own Clek Oobr for the next month (or while supplies last).  Use coupon code LGSOobr at checkout for 10% off the purchase of your very own Oobr at our website Let’s Go Strolling.

Haven’t you been thinking it’s time to move your preschooler to a great booster?

Although there are no functional changes between the later model year 2009 EX Twin and Single Trimodes, the 2010 Twin and Single Trimodes have arrived in all brand new colors.  Valco has also jazzed up their stroller colorways, but putting the accent color in the canopy extension.  It really pops when the canopy is fully open!  Plus you can order now for a free Valco snack tray (valued at $26) included with your order (while supplies last!)  You can also grab up a 2009 EX Single Trimode version for a fabulous sale price!

The Valco Ion in the single and twin versions were released in a small supply in the fall but due to its immense popularity, it is now fully in stock and we know why.  I’m preparing a blog just about the Valco Ion which I use and love, but it’s safe to say for now – this is one lightweight you’ll reach for everytime.

Lastly the brand new Valco Latitude EX is now in stock (in most colors, the rest come in February).  The new Latitude EX has an extendable canopy for better coverage as well as a higher seat back and longer legrest to fit taller children.  We have heard from some customers that version one of the Latitude did have a few reliability issues.  Customer feedback and roadtests have revealed that the Latitude EXs are more consistent with Valco’s usual high standards and durability.  If you want to snap up a great deal though – check out the Open Box Latitude Twins on our website now for a steal!

So check out the new Trimode colors below and tell us – which new color is your favorite?

Teutonia strollers are known all over Europe as the creme de la creme.  These high-end strollers have captured the European market with their German engineering and manufacturing. Yes!  Teutonia is still made in Germany, not Asia!  But it’s not just the quality, the push and suspension on these strollers is fabulous.  Starting in 2009, US customers have finally been able to grab up these beauties locally.

Customers to our store are always impressed with the smooth push and sturdy construction of the Teutonia line.  Teutonia prides itself on it’s customized approach to building your stroller.  Customers can choose their chassis type (there are three), their seat combination (including carseat with adaptor, bassinet, and stroller seat) and their goodies.  The most popular Teutonia goodies include their stunning cushy seat inserts (guaranteed to dress up your ride), their popular handmuff (for strolls in colder climates), and their cozy warm footmuffs.

The Teutonia t-Tario carseats and strollers have been such a popular US addition that Teutonia is expanding their line for 2010.  Teutonia is introducing the TS-4000 which packages their top-of-the-line uber-popular Car Seat and base with a matching Teutonia reversible stroller for only $699!

The TS-4000 stroller has both a reversible seat and handle as well as all the thoughtful Teutonia details that customers worldwide have come to expect and love. Check out our video below for a sneak preview into the TS-4000 travel system and the 2010 line which is expected out Spring 2010!

But remember now it’s your chance to push the stroller of the stars!  Teutonia is offering one lucky Strolling Along blog winner a Teutonia t-300 stroller of their very own (see chassis and seat pics below).

Last year for the first time we combined our storewide event with a charity stroller donation drive.  We collected people’s clean, still-working older strollers and snap and go’s for donation to a local Oakland non-profit (A Brighter Beginning)  that benefits low-income families and children.  In exchange for helping our stroller drive, Let’s Go Strolling will give you a $25 gift card that can be used during our storewide sale that day on already fabulously low prices!  It’s a win-win for our customers and for a fabulous community organization and the families it serves.  Last year we collected almost 30 strollers and we are hoping to surpass that this year!

Need another reason to come besides the great prices and chance to help others?  We are also doing free hourly raffles for fabulous prizes including Ju-Ju-Be diaper bags, Bebe Au Lait, Zo-Li BPA free bottles, Skip Hop Diaper Bags and get this: an Orbit Bassinet valued at $240!  But I don’t have an Orbit stroller you might say?  Don’t worry – the Orbit Bassinet Cradle comes with it’s own stand and can be used as a beautiful and roomy stand-alone bassinet for the first 6 months of baby’s life!  (P.S. Remember these are free raffles that you just have to be here to win!)

For the price, we think this is one of our top picks for a toddler stroller/lightweight stroller.  Okay the recline is really nill.  It says two position but all it means is your toddlers head won’t slump forward. It’s no real recline.  The canopy isn’t as good as the Baby Jogger City Mini version but it’s not bad for an “umbrella stroller” wanna-be.

The wheels also aren’t as hardy as the City Mini but we thought the push was excellent and we were pushing each other around the store.  Which means two things 1) if it can push over 100 lbs of weight (lets leave it at that vague number) nicely – it can push your kid easily and 2) If it can fit my butt in it, it’s roomy enough for your kid!

FYI – The weight was literally exactly the same as the Baby Jogger City Mini weight so while you lose recline, canopy and dollars you need to spend, you don’t get a poundage savings at all.

Our real moment of awe was when we loaded my HUGE 44 inch preschooler in there and he really fit.  Not just sort of fit but REALLY fit without looking all squished and funny.  We even took pics to prove it.

So whether you are headed to a theme park (more on that soon), visit to grandma’s, or just some summer fun but don’t want a spend a lot on a stroller for this purpose alone – you really won’t go wrong with the Baby Jogger City Micro!  Double version arrives next month!

We had to patiently wait through the long dark winter but Spring has sprung and Paul Frank by Bugaboo has arrived at our store.  Although I personally think the color blocks tailored fabric for the Cameleon is just the cutest thing ever – it does require that someone have a Cameleon.  For those that want to get in on the Paul Frank action but don’t have a Bugaboo Cameleon, you can grab one of the adorable Color Blocks footmuffs or a perfect-weight-for-Spring Paul Frank Bugaboo Blanket!

Honestly, these blankets are the perfect weight for strolling on spring days with a slight chill in the air, or for summer mornings and evenings.  They are perfectly soft and cozy on the inside (microfleece) but weather-proof on the outside – perfect for those unexpected drizzles once you have already set out!  Best of all – they work with any stroller or even carseat to provide a thin layer of warmth and style for the youngest trendsetters in your family.

To celebrate their arrival – Let’s Go Strolling is offering a GIVEAWAY of the Paul Frank Bugaboo blanket ($49.95) of your choice : Julius or Color Blocks.

Seriously if you are thinking about/planning to buy the Phil and Teds, there will not be a better time to do it than now deal wise!  As Phil and Ted’s readies themselves for a change of distribution networks, they are clearing out their old warehouse before moving into their new one – this is the time to get a deal if you have been hesitant about the Sport Pricetag.

What is you wanted the Vibe you say?  Well the Vibe Graffiti with Doubles Kit is also on sale for less than the Plain Black or Red Vibe with Doubles Kit.  For $740 you can get the full set which is usually more than a $100 more in the graffiti version or $60 more in the plain version – a great deal if you wanted the luxe vibe features but shied away from the price tag!

Get them before they are gone – this deal will not be around for long!

P.S. Mention “I read your blog” in the comments section and we will give you a free universal cupholder ($15 Value) to use with your new luxury Graffiti rides, whether you go for the Sport or the Vibe!
