Joining the Stroller Brigade

So I finally convinced my husband that a nice double stroller would make life easier for me...so off we go to REI's last day of the sale for a hugely discounted BOB Revolution Duallie.

I still couldn't decide if that is the stroller I wanted I was back and forth on the BOB Revolution, Baby Jogger City Elite or Summit 360 and the Bumbleride Indie. Well BOB was the cheapest and if I couldn't convince my hubby that the extra $'s were worth it so while he still can't believe I need or should ever spend $500 on a stroller I get to! And I plan to use this blog to help me get good use out of it!

So we got it home and that day I made Martha go on a ride with Ruth to "test" it out. And since our neighborhood was underboing curb, sidewalk, and driveway reconstruction...I got to do all sorts of "testing" it. Down the sidewalk drop like nothing! Even with a 10+ pound differance between the two girls. Down over curbs...a little bumpy but everyone seemed fine. Up over curbs...too a little muscle with the weight imbalance on the single swivle wheel but very doable. Over dirt and gravel...had to push a little but still easy to stear. Through the yard...just push a little harder. Since I'm not in the kind of shape nore do I even own a bra that can handle a jog the fixed wheel will have to wait till later!

After Martha's great test ride she was off following the neiborhood girls around on ther trycicle saying she was riding with the girls...and I kept little Ruth in the double because it is so nice to drive compared to the $45 I've spend on 3 "junky" strollers sitting at my house.
