The Search for a Magic Stroller

This post is likely not interesting to the majority of people reading it.  Like the name suggests, it will be about a stroller.  However, not just any stroller, one that has taken us what seems like years (or a week and a half) to find.  As I mentioned earlier (I think).  Baby stuff here is expensive, not abundant and generally lower quality than in the states (there is no Babies R Us or the like to run to). Ever since our first weekend, when we realized there were few elevators in the metros and lots of stairs in most of the attractions around Santiago), we have been searching for a very small, light-weight and cheap umbrella stroller (or coche paraguas - clever name, I know.  As an aside, cars here are called autos and strollers are coches).  You would think, oh just run to the nearest Target and buy a cheap umbrella stroller, but no Targets around.  We have been to many stores, etc, and finally one of my friends called me to say she found one at none other than Lider.  What is Lider? Well, it's WalMart.  Literally. As in it is owened by WalMart and they sell Great Value brand items.  Well, of course that was obviously where we should have looked first... Anyway, the stroller has changed our lives in that we can now move about the city and all its sights easily and efficiently.  So, bottom line, in a big city with kids? Get a cheap very light weight coche paraguas.  There are no pictures in this post, but in the next one you will see the amazing $20 purchase.
