TJ’s First set of wheels

When we were on our pre-natal quest for baby stuff, one of the things that we knew that we needed was a pram/stroller…. never having a kid before we decided that we weren’t going to be one of those new parents that get carried away, especially on a pram/stroller. We thought that he is only going to use it two years, or at the most three, and will probably hardly use it anyway. All the reviews, blogs and friends swear by certain brands. We were told that the Bugaboo was like the ‘Louis Vuitton’ of the baby world and the Quinny was like maybe ‘Prada’. Despite loving fashion brands I just couldn’t bring myself to spend $1500 for a pram/stroller and not to mention these prams/strollers are quite heavy.

We were getting very confused and the baby stores weren’t much help so we decided to go with our initial inclination and bought a cheap and very light, but quite decent stroller that we found in ‘Toys R Us’. Being light was our main requirement…All we needed was something to push baby TJ around.

But of course after four months we are now in search for another stroller. Eggs doesn’t understand why. Let’s just say he hardly ever uses it anyway. Baby TJ hates his stroller - the wheels get sticky, it feel flimsy and pushing it up hill will put me out for a whole week. Now I am in search for the prefect stroller.

A beautiful friend let me borrow her ‘Mountain Buggy’ for the week. She loves it so let’s see whether I do too.

BTW quilt is finished.
