Are strollers useful? Any recs?

I'll be honest when I say I can't believe you have made it nearly 12months without a stroller. It's up to you what brand etc...ours is a Babylove - on sale we paid $90.
Charlie is a big boy for his age, so he's very heavy & the stroller is just great. If we want to pop down to do some quick shopping, or go out to somewhere for a quick lunch or into city for shopping we use the stroller. Its easy to put up & down, he can still sleep in it no worries, I can handle it on my own & it fits in & around shops much better than the big pram. We only use Charlies big pram now when going out for the day or at night when he's ready for bed & when we walk long distances....otherwise it's the stroller.

We have the Babyco Swallow stroller and I love it. It's a bit cheaper than some, but is great quality and has the features I wanted - High handles as dh and I are tall, and it has a "bumper" in front of seat so ds can sit and hold that and not need to be strapped in all the time.

One thing to keep in mind is if your child is tall or has long legs, many of the brands are low to the ground and by the time they're 18 months old their feet might drag on the ground. I took ds with me and got him to sit in them all to see how high off the ground his feet were, and even at 12 months they were dragging in a couple!
