Out with the old...

Try not to vomit all over yourself.
Yes, contain yourself, this really is a post solely dedicated to my stroller(s). First, I have to do a huge shout out to the coolest stroller ever made:



This bad boy is the greatest stroller ever invented to date. I'm sure of it. We have had many a good strolls in it. It really is magic in the form of a stroller. I could do a whole entire blog (not just post...but BLOG!) on my lovely stroller. However, I will stop here. Stroller, we love you!

We decided to go on a walk with baby Elizabeth the other day. They both really wanted to ride in the stroller together so we let them! J was holding onto Elizabeth for dear life. I was able to snap a (really bad quality) picture of our stroller functioning as a double stroller with my phone:

It really has done us well, and I still intend to use it quite often. However, my heart has grown, and I now share my love with another child transporter...

So, why the change, if I was so in love with my first purchase?? Well, I fully intend to become a "biker". Yes, I'm going to buy a bike, and I need a way to take the boy with me. I looked at those cute little bike seats you can get, but for just a little more dough then I would have spent on a single seat, I decided to buy this beauty which can seat two cherubs....that, and free shipping, plus a super great deal, presented an opportunity I just couldn't pass up.

I'm not one of those people that can just up and buy baby products! When it comes to J, I annoyingly have to research, research, research, before I ever consider a product! My brain is overflowing with useless baby product information. I think it's completely ridicules, to be honest. I over analyze every little thing. However, with all that said, I know my gear, and this my friends, is good gear!!

It's FAB-U-LOUS! This is my new "car" while here on our rock. It's super awesome, because it's a bike trailer AND a stroller. Love that. It has the capability to be a double stroller, but you can also set it up as a single stroller! What does this mean?? J has way more room to play around in, and I don't feel like a freak for pushing a double stroller; plus, now if we ever want to pick up a baby hitch hiking, they can just jump right in---without having to actually sit on J's lap. It's light as a feather, and since the front wheel swivels, it maneuvers like a champ. Of course, J loves this---it gives him tons of room---think play pen on wheels! He can stand up, lay down, crawl around, turn around, etc. He was getting really antsy in his red stroller lately, always trying to escape, so this is a great purchase! I look forward to many a good strolls...

**J sacked out on the floor of the stroller**

PS THIS IS NOT MY WAY OF ANNOUNCING ANY PENDING FUTURE BIRTHS, EITHER--TRUST ME (thank you very much, Jenny)

  9. HOLY TOLEDO YOU'RE PREGNANT!!! I didn't even notice a bump....

    and as a side note, I totally over-research stuff too. It took me 5 months - yes count 'em 1 ... 2 ... 3 ... 4 ... 5 ... of researching and comparison shopping, yada yada, to pick a double stroller.

  10. I miss my bike trailer!!! Two summers ago Cole and Dayne LIVED in that thing. We'd go to 7-Peaks, run errands, you name it. AND, I got some pretty tight buns in the process. I sold it when we moved here 'cuz there's no safe place to take the kids. Dang it!! What brand is yours?
