Winter blahs

So I have the winter blahs, a baby who thinks sleeping is for the birds and a life so busy I feel like a hamster in a wheel. Love it though !

I bought myself a new treat, as I do most winters. It's a Baby Jogger City Mini in limited edition Fushia and Black. The baby is 17 months old today ! I think it will be a great fit for us.

I told the Raspberry Triumph. It drove me NUTS. The straps were not giving at all, the seat was weird, the wheels left marks on the hood. BLAH at that stroller. I will never buy another Maclaren. unless I get a bed of roses or the spitfire version for cheap :)

So we have
2010 Uppa Baby Visa in Denny (red)
Mountain Buggy Urban Single (will never sell)
Peg Perego P3 Compact (purple - this one might go)
Bertini Steerable Pram
BJCM - fushia (on it's way)
Maclaren Volo in majenta

I think I could do without the Vista but I am having a hard time letting it go. I think we could do without the P3 as well as soon as the BJCM gets here I will have to compare function etc to see if they are too similiar to keep both.

Happy Strolling !

Update...come and gone...some have stayed

Bertini Bidwell 905 Steerable Pram is our current cottage stroller

Zooper Boogie is what I traded my pink bubble maclaren quest for .. MISTAKE :( Zooper has since been sold since I couldn't stand looking at it

Raspberry Maclaren Triumph is on the chopping block. I think the baby will have to be a little bigger in order for me to enjoy it.

Peg Perego P3 COmpact in a gorgeous purple. This is our van stroller and I love it and so does the baby. KEEPER for sure :)

UppaBaby

Seat and Bassinet. Love this stroller but it's not super great for walks in the neighbourhood in winter. It's very hard.

MBUS and Vista

Current Line up

Uppababy Vista in Red
Maclaren Easy Traveller
Maclaren Quest in Pink Bubbles
Maclaren Volo in Magenta
Valco Buggster in Bubblegum Pink
Mountain Buggy (with Carrycot too)

We used the basinet's for the Uppababy and Mountain Buggy for about 3 months. I am still using them. Although Annika is wanting to sit up more now and see what is going on instead of staring at the inside of the boring canopy.

Right now I would love an air tire jogger/walker that has the reversible seat. I think that Zooper is the only one that makes these. Will be on the hunt for one until I am ok with putting Annika in the MBUS facing out. right now I want to look at her and she wants to look at me :)

Maclaren Easy Traveller

Bought it about 2 months in to dragging the Peg Perego bucket around at school.

Love it, love it, love it !!!!

We sold the Peg Perego SIP car seat in Black Bubbles and bought a Graco Safeseat 35 in some weird green circle fabric and LOVE it. Both fit the Mac perfectly.

I just wish I had bought the stroller sooner.

New Ride for New Baby

I did it. After much thought, deliberation and agony I ordered this stroller for my newest babe.

It's being shipped as we speak. I am SO very excited to get it !

I chose this over the Mutsy 4 Rider, the Bugaboo Cam and Frog, the Peg Skate and a few others. I really hope it lives up to my expectations !

Carry Cot for the Mountain Buggy

Bought a carry cot for our Mountain Buggy. Took my cousins 5 month old in it as a test drive and he promptly fell asleep. I LOVE it !

OMG !!!

We are having a baby in September !!

Who knew ?

Anyways, the hunt is on for a stroller with a bassinette.

Mutsy ? Bugaboo ? Uppa Baby ?

Since my first 2 gorgeous children were older at the time they came home I never got to have a bassinette or an infant car seat.

Bring it !

p.s. my stroller stash is STILL the same

MBUS
Buggster (If this baby is a boy this will be going for sure)
Quest
Volo
Vogue

Pliko Lite SOLD

The Pliko Lite has been sold.

Dave was sad to see it go.

I wasn't. Although I liked it the handles were very plastic and it was getting creaky.

Which always annoys me when I can't fix it.

Now I have

MBUS
Buggster
Quest
Volo
Vogue

I think the Quest will be the next to go ? I dunno I havent decided yet but I do love the Volo alot !

What to do What to do

I am buying an MBUS this weekend.

Then I will have

* MBUS
* Buggster
* Pliko Lite
* Maclaren Quest
* Maclaren Volo

I dont need all these strollers anymore. DD is 3.5. The MBUS is for winter school runs. The Volo isn't the best for winter becuz it's mesh but it is my favorite between the, the Quest and the Pliko Lite.

The Buggster is just CUTE. It's freakin adorable and a head turner. But once the MBUS comes I won't need it anymore.

So do I keep the MBUS and the Volo and leave it at that ? Probly. It's all we need :(

All I can do is hope we manage to add to our family so I can replenish my once bountiful stash !

Red Safety 1st Jogger *SOLD*

I am getting an MBUS on the 28th ! WOOT !

I am so excited so this one had to go.

Think the Quest is going to go as well.

Maybe the Buggster.

Fall Thoughts

I am looking at a Baby Jogger City Mini and a Baby Jogger City Elite to replace the cheapie jogger I have and the Quest and Buggster.

I am really wondering if I am going to have sellers remorse with the Buggster.

DD is 3.5 yrs and I really want something awesome for winter for her in terms of a jogger and I dont think the cheapie is going to do it in terms of warmth.

Hhhmmmm

P3 SOLD

I sold the P3 for what I bought it for. Now that was a relief ! I shouldnt have bought it at all !

Lesson learned

Fall Lineup

Maclaren Quest in Mod Circles Pink
Maclaren Volo in Magenta
Maclaren Vogue in Honeybee
Peg Perego Pliko lite in Rose (might sell this one)
Valco Buggster in Bubblegum
Red Safety 1st Jogger.

Mothercare Flower Stroller SOLD

I bought this cuz I had to have it.

We used it maybe twice. Nice umbrella stroller just not a Maclaren !

I was going to keep it if we ever go back to China but then we cleaned the garage.

Peg 4 Wheeler GONE

A Dad came and picked it up yesterday. It had an accident and came away with a broken wheel.

I couldn't be bothered to fix it. So the Dad who took it is going to combine 2 and have 1 complete !

Great idea. I am just glad it didn't end up in the landfill like it almost did so many times.

Jogger

We have been using a Cheapie Safety 1st jogger all summer. Fixed wheel, neato rain cover and its been great.

Nothing compared to my MBUS but it works.

DD is almost out of strollers. I am using the Maclaren Volo alot these days.

Probly will sell most of them.

Not sure if we are going to expand the fam or not these days !

Where oh where are all the joggers ?

I have been searching HIGH and LOW for a used cheapie jogging stroller.

I should not have sold the Whizz. or my beloved MBUS.

And this is where I sit. With no jogger for the cottage, with those nice big air filled tires for the rough road.

The buggster is ok but not great and well here is my current lineup

* Pliko lite in Rose
* Maclaren Quest in Mod Rose (yes .. i bought it back !)
* Pink Buggster
* Broken peg 4 wheeler (the wheel broke off)
* Umbrella stroller from the UK

*sigh*

My BEE is gone

*sniff sniff*

Dave liked this stroller and is sad its gone.
I am sad its gone.
but its use to us and funness is over. If I had a wee baby I would buy one again, with the Bee nest. cute !

It really was an amazing stroller, the push, the quality, everything.

Ah well :)
