In a sea of strollers....

[05ChristmasSurprise]

Which color is the best?

We're buying a new one before our trip and considering which color we want. The ones we are looking at come in bright red, grey trimmed in red, or the standard Maclaren light blue/dark grey and I'm just afraid there will be too many of the blues around to spot our "ride" when we come out. The reds are snazzy and I'm thinking may be easier to spot. But, the blues are cheaper

Yeah, I think red would be easier to spot! BUT, you could also do what we do. We tie two lime green bandanas onto the handles of our stroller (which is navy blue and dark green btw) so it stands out. It works well!!

We recently chipped in with some other friends to get the Silver Cross Micro in PINK for a dear friend who recently adopted her first child. She's a breast cancer survivor so we thought it was fitting:

I'd go for the red or like the other posted mentioned tie something bright onto your blue/black stroller. I would recommend a bandanna (lime green) flattened across the top of the handle and then tied round it on both ends. Hope I explained this the right way as it would be round the handle instead of just tying it on and it drooping down.

HTH!

Personally I would pick the color you like the best and use a bandanna or ribbon to make the stroller stand out. I got a few very brightly color bandannas with crazy designes at our local AC moore. This made our stroller VERY easy to spot "in the sea"!

Having made the mistake of purchasing bright red luggage assuming it would be easy to spot on the carosel only to find many others had the same idea I now will buy what I like. I use heavy fabric ribbon on the suitcases now - purple works well to identify them.

Yep, take it from one who has spent hours parking strollers at Safaris....no matter how 'standout' and unique you may think a stroller is, there's a good chance there will be one exactly like it right there, LOL!!

I suggest you buy what you like then personalize, personalize, personalize!! As suggested, hang things (brightly colored bandanna, ribbon, etc) from the handle) to make it standout...not ONLY to make it easy to spot, but from experiences I've seen, to PREVENT another guest from taking it by mistake! Go a step further, and afix your cellphone # or last name and resort w/stay dates to the underside of the seat. That way, if it is taken in error, or lost/misplaced somehow, it can easily be reunited with you by the Cast.
