Do you believe in strollers?

We watched a funny movie, Away We Go, and thought it was hilarious.  The best scene is the part where the mom is all, "I love my babies, why would I want to push them away from me?!"  The two main characters attempted to give her a stroller as gift. 

It was clear in the film that they were poking fun at Attachment Parenting, albeit, taking it to the extreme which is why it was so funny. 

After watching that scene, Scooter said, "That's us, isn't it?"  And, maybe in a way it is.  Although, we don't believe in "no sugar".  Ha. 

Austin still co-sleeps and we carry him around in the Ergo if he seems fussy/tired (and he seems to really like being carried on the back which is fun!)  BUT, we still believe in strollers.  I mean, how can a mom eat a Costco hotdog in peace without one?  Or chat up with a fellow mom, throw snacks at her child and drink her coffee without a stroller??! 

After all, a stroller isn't a religion but rather a nice contraption on wheels that allows a multi-tasking mama to get her stuff done.
