it's here!!!

for months i have been carefully plotting my great double stroller purchase. i've spent countless hours researching the best double stroller out there. turns out there really isn't such a thing. double strollers are notorious for not being perfect. there bulky, heavy, hard to steer, etc, etc.

so i decided that i wasn't going to spend any more then $200 because i can't understand spending a ton of money on a stroller... although they exist and people do. that narrowed it down a bit. i went thru a phase where i thought i wanted a sit-n-stand but that was fleeting. i realized early on in my search that i prefer side-by-side rather then tandem models. when Cam was first born i bought an old tandem stroller from a yard sale for $10 and have grown to hate it. folding it is a pain, the poor kid who ends up in the back seat gets squished, super hard to steer and after a long fight it barely fits in my car soooo side-by-side it is. i like the idea of them being next to each other plus they are much smaller and therefor will fit much better in my mid-size sedan. i test drove a $350 Peg Perego stroller and loved it BUT as i said it was $350!!! so i moved on to ebay where i thought i'd find a used one or a new cheaper off brand. turns out i find the Peg Perego new for $185! WOOOHOO it did take me a few days to push the "buy" button because i thought it was too good to be true and i didn't want to be duped. it arrived today and it is real. so if you're looking for a good deal on strollers (or weird dolls) check out this seller.

so this evening my mom, the kids and i headed to Walmart to give it a test ride. very smooth ride, easy turning, kids comfy and surprisingly not feeling like i was taking up the whole isle. it was so great, i am truly in love.

isn't she a beauty?
