Best Purchase EVER

Or it's at least the best purchase made recently


I am thrilled with my new-to-me double umbrella stroller.  Moms have varying opinions (shocking, right?!) on strollers.  I have a heavy, expensive double jogging stroller which I felt I needed after rave reviews from moms.  Eh, it handles well, but it's so bulky and heavy that I break a sweat dragging it in and out of my garage car trunk.  Honestly, I have buyer's remorse about it.  We walk the neighborhood so much that I wanted something light, easy to assemble, and with enough pockets to hold my phone, keys, and a bottle or two of water.  

I stuck to my guns this time and didn't let any mom talk me into the double stroller they had and therefore I should have too.  I wanted this one.

It's perfect.  Evie and Braylen love sitting next to each other.  Evie, Braylen, and Emily play musical seats when we walk the neighborhood.  (How is it that I bought a double stroller and still end up carrying one of my kids??)  And its compact fold leaves room for a trunk full of groceries.  


I am so HAPPY with my new stroller.  I am excited to take the kids out now.  No more swearing under my breath while I try to fold up my huge stroller as someone waits impatiently for my parking spot (as both my kids scream from the backseat, my blood sugar is low, and half of my life needs to be emptied out of my trunk so I can fit the stroller.  Been there too?).

I hear you....I'm regretting the one we bought too! I loved it when it's open and the kids are in it, however it takes up the whole back of the car - I mean mini van - with the two back seats down!!!!

This is why I never broke down and got a double. Kel still gets ergo treatment when I have both kids solo. Your new one looks great!

A stroller that suits your lifestyle is a godsend. Side-by-sides are not practical here with the narrow doorways, but that looks PERFECT for a neighborhood (or shopping mall!) stroll!

After a year of STROLLER FREE livin', I am getting very very nervous about going back to the days of my P&T. At least it won't have the double kit on this time, eh? :)
