On A Stroll

When I was pregnant, I obsessed about strollers. I spent all my time researching the various types, brands, colors, etc. Honestly, I looked until I thought I was going to cry! We didn't like the look of the travel systems, and we didn't want to spend the big bucks on a top-of-the-line model. So we decided to get two. Our main stroller, the In Step Safari jogger, and the Maclaren Volo as our umbrella stroller. We absolutely LOVE the jogger. It came with a universal carrier, so we can attach his car seat to it. It rides like a dream, and has a great sporty look. The only downside is that it's BIG. It takes up the majority of my SUV's trunk area, and it is extremely difficult to navigate in stores......especially in J.Crew!

Now that BeachBaby is 6 months old, we are now able to use the Maclaren. However, after using it a couple of times, I hate it! I'm so sad! It maneuvers like a dream, but it doesn't have any of the things that I've come to love about my jogger. No cup holders, no baby tray, too-small underneath storage, and no central handle. I don't know what to do! I want to love it, but it's just not happening. I'm hoping that maybe it's really a stroller for bigger babies, and that we'll get more use out of it once BeachBaby doesn't require as much gear.

What stroller do you use? Do you love it?
