That's the little lass when she was a lot littler.
Anyway, I can't sell this thing to save my life. I even ran out of "renew" options and had to create a new listing.
And I was bored.
Which is never good.
Here's the listing.

Do you like to stroll? Sure, we all do. But now that you've had a baby, have you discovered that strolling is more complicated? Babies are cumbersome and heavy. Carrying them on long strolls is difficult.
Well, I have just the thing you need. A Graco Quattro Tour Stroller in Windsor print*. It's a lovely gender neutral green color**, so you can stroll with either your baby boy or girl! Despite my using it for strolling for a few years, it's in remarkably good condition! It even comes with a snuggly winter boot attachment so that you can stroll with your baby on cool days! (I won't say winter, because this is Missouri, and the weather here is basically like playing The Price is Right.)
So turn that frown upside down! Stop trying to stroll with your heavy, wiggling baby. Buy this gently used, reasonably priced stroller, and take back your Sunday stroll. (Or Monday, Wednesday.... whatever. Look, I don't care when you like to stroll. It wasn't a commentary on when you like to stroll, simply trying to make it easier for you. No harm done.)
* I had the matching Graco Snugride carseat for this stroller. Well, I still have it, but I won't sell it to you, because that's illegal. However, since I do still have it, I'd be willing and happy to take the cover off of it and give it to you with the stroller if you like. That way, you can get your very own Graco Snugride carseat, and you'll instantly have a matching set! Coordination is important while strolling. Oh, sure, you can just put on a carseat that doesn't match, and you'll be just fine. Until you head out and pass all those other parents with matching sets, and you're there with your mismatched set feeling silly and disjointed. No, they're probably not laughing at you behind your back because your carseat doesn't match. But you will never be sure, and I don't want that for you. Plus, when your new baby pukes and/or craps on your carseat cover, you'll have one to put on while the other one is in the wash. No, they'll puke and/or poop on it. It's only a matter of time. Okay. Fine. Go on believing that. Saying it won't happen won't keep it from happening, but you can stay securely in your bubble of denial a while longer if you like. It's okay. I won't tell.
** Full disclosure? There are a few small faded black spots on one side of the canopy. They're not particularly noticeable unless you're aware that they're there, but I'm aware of it, so I figure you should know too. Hey, I'm just trying to be honest. You see, two year olds are sneaky, and they'll pretend to be napping like little angels, and you'll grab a cup of coffee and sit down to check your e-mail thinking about how sweet and innocent your little darling is. And then you'll hear a bit of noise, and wander into the room to find your sweet baby gone. No, not gone. Hiding in the closet. Then you'll discover that the little turd has discovered a bottle of black craft paint that you don't even remember buying, much less remember putting anywhere near the baby's room. While you were taking a ten minute break under the impression that your cherubic little offspring was dreaming of ponies, she was really dumping that entire bottle of black craft paint on the cream colored carpet of the apartment that you were RENTING and then spreading it all over everything she could touch like a tiny little graffiti tagger. Well, little Banksy junior happened to tag a few discreet spots on this stroller during her little painting party for one. I've included a picture. I'm sure she'd be happy to autograph it for you if you're interested.
I really hope I sell the thing. And if not, at least I amused myself.
P.S. Here's the link to the actual listing if you're local and you need a stroller.
