Quest for the Golden Chassis Part III

I feel a strange sense of calm right now, as though all is right in the world. At last my holy quest for the golden chassis is at an end.

It started many moons ago, before Christmas. At the time I mused that perhaps it had been an EmmalJunga stroller.

Then after a helpful suggestion from a reader, I thought perhaps it was a Mutsy, which did have some goldish colors (albeit not available in the US).

But guess what? And really, let's not even try to hide the fact that i am just bursting with pride because when I stopped to ask this lucky lucky mom what type of stroller she had, she.....said....

"It's an Emmaljunga."

So at last, the mystery is solved. And best of all I can prove to you the existence of the golden chassis because this mom not only spent several minutes telling me why she loved Emmaljunga (apparently it's very common in Sweden) she also tidied up the stroller and then let me take a picture!

Feast your eyes on the golden chassis:


In case you are wondering, the very special baby that gets to ride in this stroller was also super cute and wearing an adorable stripes onesie but I didn't want to totally frighten this nice woman by taking a picture not only of her stroller but also her baby, so you will have to envision the baby yourself using your imagination.

Now, if you'll excuse me I have to go buy myself a flight to Sweden, which I now envision to be a land of friendly moms, adorable babies, and delicious Emmaljunga strollers.

End of the Year Randomness

I've returned to you after a haze of holiday madness including much driving through various New England states to visit relatives. There is something that's been on my mind since before Christmas: a stroller with a gold chassis. Yes, gold. I spotted it in the mall but before I could make my way over to the mother and ask her just what stroller it was, she disappeared. Don't ask me how a woman with a gold stroller managed to "disappear"...it was pre Christmas and there were crowds. I hate crowds.

So since then I've been combing the Web trying to find this particular stroller. I don't think I've found it yet but I did find two really interesting strollers with gold frames! One is a gold lame Mamas and Papas stroller Gwen Stefani used for Kingston back in 2007. The other is a limited edition Maclaren Stroller.

But the stroller I spotted had a bassinet! So, faithful readers, I'm begging you: if you know anything about this mysterious stroller please share it with the (*cough*stroller obsessed support*cough*) group!

In other news, during my internet quest for the elusive gold chassis, I stumbled upon a Swedish stroller company that designs gorgeous prams. It's called Emmaljunga but, tragically, it's not available in the US (...yet). Still, if you love prams, feast your eyes on their site. They've got possibly my favorite video intro ever.

Actually, their video is probably only second to Bugaboo's promo video for the Bee Stroller in my heart (because if choreographed dance numbers involving hot guys, strollers, and adults dressed as trees and lamp posts is wrong then I just don't want to be right). To view the Bee's video, go to this link, select "Bugaboo Bee", then click on "Bugaboo Bee Film" on the right. Trust me, it's worth it.

And that wraps up 2008! I can't wait to see what fabulous strollers appear in 2009. Just rest assured I'll be blogging about them all--as soon as possible! Have a happy and healthy New Year, everyone!
