Stroller Museum


Josh says we officially have a stroller museum.

Laird is 5 1/2 months and I think I've finally found my "perfect" double stroller...I think.

Started off "wearing" Laird in my Ergo carrier & pushing Finlay in the single "perfect" Maclaren stroller.
Or I pushed Laird in his carseat in the Snap 'N Go and let Finlay walk (I think I got about 2 steps and realized that was a BAD idea)
Or Josh would push Finlay in the "perfect" Maclaren & I would push Laird in the Snap 'N Go.

When I decided I need a legitimate double stroller, we went with the "perfect" stroller & got the Maclaren Twin Techno (scored that bad boy on a 30% floor model sale in Georgetown!).  I hated it. Josh hated that it had 3 wheels in the front so it didn't turn. I hated the lame sun shade. And it was heavy & hard to get in & out of the car. Then the latch broke that keeps it closed. So we shipped it back, they replaced it, and gave us a complimentary "travel" bag.

Then I decided I hated taking a sleeping Laird in & out of the double stroller so I bought the Joovy Caboose where his carseat snaps in & Finlay stands/sits on the jump seat. Which really meant Finlay hopped on the jump seat, then quickly OFF the jump seat, & ran around every store, leaving me to chase him with Laird stranded in the stroller by himself. At least he stays still!
So, I decided I needed to return to the true double stroller & deal with putting Laird in & out.

The only problem was I hated the Maclaren.

But then I found a City Mini stroller on Craigslist brand new! This was the other stroller I was thinking about when I went with the Maclaren, so I bought this, and I love it (as much as one can love a stroller!).

If anyone needs a Maclaren or a Joovy, feel free to check Annapolis' Craigslists postings! :)

  1. I love this...you are too funny. I still haven't decided what we're going to do about the double stroller situation. I'm thinking I'll wait til baby number 2 comes and then deal with it. :) So glad you found one that makes you happy!
