jasper's 1-yr-old checkup, strollers

Jasper's 1-yr-old checkup - everything seems fine and he weighs 10.950 it was over 11kg last time(well it fluctuates!). They say growth will be more stablised after 1 year so I dont expect him to gain more than 2 kgs by end of his second year. Jasper seems to be more interested in toys and objects than humans and the nurse suggested spending even more time with him. I accidentally hurt my lower back while lifting him into the car. I now need a hold onto an supporting object to get up from a chair and walk very slowly. A wriggling 11kg is not easy to lift into the baby seat inside the car. Finally I got another stroller, it's a Valco Urban 5.2kgs with leg rest and multiple position reclines. My Combi Calpico 5.8kg is reallly crap as the handle feels wriggly and I almost twisted my hip and lower back steering it, Andrew gave similar comments after using it - combi may be good for newborn but not for a 11kgs. My Graco Citisport 6.6kgs is one of the best ones I have tried, it is extremely sturdy and can certainly take most abuse! I will sell off the ones I dont use. Some acquaintances of mine got pissed and threw in their comments with my perceived infinite obsession of getting new strollers but I was the one who got knee and hip pains not them - my effort of trying to explain to them of my back pains and my difficulties of folding up the stroller or lift the baby and/or stroller in and out of the car was in vain, zero empathy and what I got in return was almost a big slap - "you can choose not to drive", "at least you have a car", "I can only stroll the baby and can only use public transport as I dont have a car". Well, I've learnt a very good lesson not to hang around with them too much, it is similar to someone with a waterview house complaining to a homeless person the waterview bores him to death. It is just commonsense. It was like the loniness of no one understands the boredom of a bad but high-paid DBA job which was just mind-eroding. Jasper has a new toy telephone and a dozen of other new toys... its more fun watching him play - at least if anything happens to me he will always take my side.
