Hello
yes the shopping when you are pregnant is so overwhelming !
Thats why I say borrow until you know what you need
Where are you living?
if you are living in the city (midlevels?) Baby carriers are essential.
The only feasible places to use a stroller is in a shopping centre
Even the supermarket can be a nightmare to navigate with a stoller.
We borrowed a combi storller with carseat capsule.
Good cos light (yes it is sturdy enough for normal use) and is narrow enough for navigating around most places
Good cos had a capsule that converted into a carseat for taxi rides (although we just use the Baby bjorn now)
Bad cos the handles are too low for anyone over 5 ft (and even I have trouble wheeling it down the hill) and also cos the space between the wheels is too narrow. So you have to take baby steps! Maybe suitable for the Japanese way of walking??!!
Also as someone else said , you need a big basket and this doesnt have it.
test as well if you can close up the strollerwith something in the basket.
If you can borrow or find 2nd hand I would, then you can see what works and doesnt before you fork out for a new one.
I would recommend you get the lightest stroller you can.
Hong kong is not stroller friendly and there will always be a couple of stairs you need to lift stroller and baby up .
(even new buildings dont put in ramps, its so annoying)
Lastly I would say get creative with your shopping
I live in a walk up (didnt think that one through did we?!)
So we order any groceries we can on line. including meat and fish.
Milk etc I can carry myself or have hubbie pick up on the way back from work
Or you could get the helper to pick some things up on the way over to your place.
you could also see if you cant get her to come supermarket shopping with you.
