I know, I also said I was going to try and go without buying a stroller but this is about the same price as in the US, it is good from birth and will last until he/she is 4 and you can attach the carseat as an extra bonus.
I was just having an email conversation with my brother yesterday about the difference between the flimsy, compact "umbrella strollers" that we had when our children were young. and today's strollers which are much more impressive (and expensive) SUV-type rigs. The current ones are much more stable and functional in all weather with their stronger frames and large wheels.
These "baby limos," seen at Toronto's Eaton Centre today, are great for parents with twins and triplets. They are also frequently used by nannies who are looking after more than one child.
Another stroller just left on the side of the road, this one probably has life left in it and was not there 3 hours later

Perhaps intuitively I have been making quite a few street photographs at cross walks, either while waiting for the light to change or while crossing the street. I think I need to be more conscious of this situation and the reasons it can work. For one thing, I stop at cross walks. While I do photograph as I'm "on the move," the pause gives me an opportunity to scan my surroundings a bit more intently. In addition, there are usually other people collecting at the corner and waiting to cross — it might be an individual or it could be a small crowd. Also, when people are crossing they tend to (at least most of the time) be focused on their progression across the street and perhaps are less aware of me. Finally, the cross walk itself can provide an interesting visual context, especially the newer striped design.
This photograph is a bit hard to fully explain. There's something about the black-attired woman and her unusual white sunglasses, along with her position as she looks toward the right side of the frame. The child seems completely inert, almost like luggage in the stroller. And, again, there are those alternating stripes of pavement and white paint.
