A New Ride

If you remember, this was our old ride.....the front/back double stroller.






Pros:

1. This stroller was given to us from some friends. So anything free is awesome!!

2. Easily fits through doors

3. Jillian loves all the cup holders and other compartments to hide all of her carrots and other things.


Here were the issues we were having:

1. Jillian threw major fits b/c she wanted to sit in the back. The stroller only allows the infant seat in the back so Rocco has to sit in the back.

2. Now that Rocco is older and is physically able to sit without the infant seat in the stroller, this stroller only has a lap belt (no shoulder belts) so we have to recline the back seat so he can lay down strapped in but it is not exactly the easiest way to get around.


Here is our new ride.....side by side double stroller!!!



Pros:

1. Side by side - so no fits over who gets what seat.

2. Has shoulder straps so Rocco can sit up and look around.

Cons:

1. Not free - Bought it used from a teacher friend (honestly, I thought it was weird that she didn't just "give" it since her children are grown and not using a stroller) but whatever.

2. I am not sure how easily I can fit through doors with it. I have only used it for our outdoor walks. (Now if I find that it does fit through doorways then this will obviously no longer be a con)


3. NO cup holders or any compartments. NONE!! Isn't that weird?? So Jillian has to be "creative" to figure out where to put her carrots, cups, babies and all other accesories that come on our walks with us.
Anyways, I actually like that I now have both kinds of strollers. It gives me options and I love options!!! We also still have our single stroller for that occasion when Jillian throws a fit that she does not want to share the stroller. Ahhh!!! To be 2. Bryan says that I just like to have more stuff.
