One of the things guys worry about when contemplating becoming a new father is losing the ability to live an active lifestyle. They fear that once the little dude arrives it’s bye-bye fun time, hello diaper changing and bottle washing. And while it’s true a good dad will change a ton of diapers, a guy’s lifestyle can (and should) remain as active as it was pre baby.
We here at the Lab are committed to encouraging Dads to get out and explore the world with their children. Expose the little ones to all the cool things you like to do. Having the right gear helps. That’s why we are partnering with the good folks over at valco baby to give away a sweet Tri Mode EX stroller with a gazillion accessories.
This rig is awesome. We take ours everywhere. Check out this video to see the Tri Mode EX in action.
DadLabs will announce the winner of the stroller on the DadLabs Live Show on January 20th at 2 PM EST and then in this blog immediately after that.

Hey all you commenters! Why not join in the conversations in the forum too!
So I don’t actually own a stroller just yet, but my snap ‘n go has gone on some crazy sidewalks in Los Angeles and Long Beach. Pot holes, missing concrete, cracks big enough to stop the snap ‘n go, hordes of people, through smells and other things best not mentioned.

awesome!;)
the craziest place I’ve taken a stroller would have to be disneyworld during spring break….it was soooo crowded and I often had to run through the crowds trying to keep up with my older son…and took the stroller on and off the monorails, train, busses, etc. crazy! even crazier trying to find my stroller in the sea of over 100 strollers parked outside each ride!
I like you on fb and left an answer there.

The craziest place I have ever taken our stroller had to be in a walk through the woods to a lake. It was interesting trying to go over branches and dirt, then onto the sand they put down lakeside. We kept getting stuck, but the kids thought it was funny.
Like you and answered the have you ever carried something other than your child in your stroller. FB name is Karine Capobianco Traverse
The craziest place I’ve taken a stroller is the Santa Monica pier. The stroller just vibrated as you walked down the wooden planks of the pier. And navigating the crowds was a bit challenging at times.
The “craziest” places I’ve been with my stroller included navigating the Chicago CTA (bus & el) with my infant daughter. Those bus drivers don’t seem happy when you board with all your baby gear.

Like a crazy person I took a double stroller shopping on black friday morning. We got cursed out numerous times and nearly got trampled and my baby we took to bat caves in israel didn’t get very far before I had to turn back
Georgia State Fair, went through the cow area and well you know. Poop on tire. And it just does not come off easy.
around the block. no place too crazy yet!
The craziest place I’ve taken my stroller is into a bathroom stall with me. Let me tell ya, nothing like trying to go while having a toddler stare at you and your private parts up close and personal! My oldest who’s 5, thinks that is what the “bigger” bathroom stall is for… mommies with their babies. Nice!

“What’s the craziest place you’ve ever taken your stroller?”
I’m a brand new dad, so we haven’t really been anywhere ‘crazy’ with our stroller. The grocery store down the street? Don’t really have a good answer to that question.
This is first time posting on the site as well, I hope this comment still counts as my entry into the contest. I have read the book and I thoroughly enjoyed it, so keep up the good work!
My wife and I are very active people. We have this unit – http://kidsbabystrollers.com/the-best-baby-strollers/ and we use it to go *everywhere* – the craziest place, was a swampy nature trail where we shouldn’t have been. Fortunately, our little dolly had a skeeter net over the bugaboo, but we were bitten alive!
