stroller envy n. Feelings of envy directed at high-end baby strollers owned by other parents. Example Citation: McCavanagh is one of many new parents surprised by a flood of new parental instincts, one of which is stroller envy. It is a curious affliction that makes otherwise sane and secure parents feel woefully inadequate in the presence of hefty-priced prams - the $500 Phil and Ted’s e3, the $800 Bugaboo Frog, the $1,000 Stokke Xplory - and ashamed of themselves for wanting one.
