Move over Bugaboo and Maclaren — there’s another luxury stroller at your local Babies ‘R Us, and it will cost double of what you already thought to be outrageous. How much is too much to spend on a stroller? What if it grows from birth to childhood? What if it has incredible, customizable features?

Bottom line: Would you spend over $1,000 on this stroller?:

The Stokke Xplory stroller sure looks pretty, but at $1,050 — what can it do?

As you can see, it certainly grows with your little one in a variety of different positions. And we have to admit, that built-in shopping bag at the bottom of the stroller certainly is a good idea. Yet you can find strollers that have all of these features plus convert to a double stroller for less money. And I don’t even see a cup holder.

But if you’re looking for the ultimate in luxury, check out Stokke’s new winter package:

Yes, those are sheepskin handmuffs attached to the stroller. Necessary? Probably not. But boy does it look luxurious. Stokke even has a summer kit for the warm weather:

Don’t get us wrong — those summer and winter kits are $200$300 each, on top of the $1,050 price tag. So what do you think? Worth the money? Or is this more of an If-I-won-the-lottery kind of dream?

That is the ugliest stroller I’ve ever seen in my life

It is an excellent stroller. I highly recommend it.

I have one and for me it’s worth the price !!!

I bought it and my daughter still loves riding in it, and she is 2.5 yrs old!! totally worth the money considering I never had to buy alternate strollers for different functions..

Man, it looks so odd! Maybe if I had a TON of money! But it is sort of cool, all the things it does! I hope it lasts forever too!

Kristin commented on Nov 12 10 at 3:38 pm

I would. I have been on the look out for the perfect stroller and if I felt like this was it I would definitely spend the money for it.

I want one for my house to keep, my daughter in law is having another baby, I’m 65 yrs old and due to my age and my back I need something easy to handle I already take care of the 4 yr old and do lots of fun things with him I hate to be locked into a house and not able to get out due to a heavy stoller I have to pick up and put in truck of car this would be perfect for me my daughter in law can buy her own sorry but I have the kids more than her except on the weekends.
