You're right about the practicality and actual usability of these strollers! Demonstrations in the shops can be really useful to see beyond the flashy features and aesthetics, and there's no harm asking the sales staff for tips and tricks too - they might have handy insights on the newest trends and most practical features, now that stroller technology seems to be advancing rapidly!
It does seem like a lot of parents on this thread are interested in strollers these days. Do you think there is a particular reason beyond the current stroller trends or innovations that explain this newfound interest?

Could be! Seems like many families here are keen on outdoor adventures and seeking convenience and comfort amidst nature jaunts with the little ones. The rise of lightweight, durable, and compact travel strollers seems to fit the bill for many parents' needs these days. It's heartening to see so many parents remaining mindful of their choices and seeking practical solutions without compromising safety and comfort.

Some of my boy's all-time favorites include the classic Magformers magnetic building set, which is great for creative play and those tricky fine motor skills. Also, the good old days of make-believe adventures with a simple superhero/princess cape have left unforgettable memories!

For books, it's tough to beat the spot-on brilliance of Julia Donaldson's stories, especially the award-winning "The Gruffalo." It's a must-have for every young library and a fun introduction to the wonders of the deep dark wood. Another favorite is the sweet and silly "Don't worry, Little Creepy" by Chris Haughton, with its adorable monsters that are so relatable for the little ones. Both titles are excellent for sparking the imagination and encouraging some dramatic play.

Hope this helps anyone on the hunt for some new additions to their toy boxes and bookshelves! These are surefire hits in our household.

Those are some fun suggestions! My kids love anything superhero-related, so the cape idea is great. Will definitely have to check out the books you mentioned too. Thanks a million!
