Double Trouble--A Must Buy with 2 under 2



This week, I will be talking about a great stroller that Dj and I invested in for our two kids under two. When I say "invest," I truly mean that because this is a spendy baby item. But, it is hands-down, in our opinion, the best double stroller on the market right now. We are very pleased with this item and glad we purchased it.

Here are some reasons why it's so great:

*It is newborn friendly
*It is baby friendly
*It is toddler friendly
*it's comfortable
*There are at least 3 different ways you can arrange the seats/babies in the stroller
*It's easy to maneuver
*It's nimble
*It "turns on a dime"
*It's easy to assemble
*It doesn't feel "clunky" or "huge" when pushing it
*It comes it fun colors
*It has plenty of storage underneath for baby bags/items
*It has lots of accessories one can buy to add to the stroller
*It fits nicely in a trunk
*It is fairly easy to fold

Cons:
*Baylen did not always like laying in the bottom bed part of stroller at first...but he got used to it...I think it was more b/c of his Acid Reflux prob. why he didn't want to lay flat
*It is somewhat awkward to pick up if you are a weakling like me
*It is expensive

I will try and remember to get a pic with both kids in the stroller sometime soon and add it to this blog. Brynna sits in the front and Baylen sits in the back. Now one might think the little one gets "screwed" sitting below, but really, he can see just as well and look around just as much as the older child up front/top. He can now sit in the seat and looks like such a big boy whenever we go shopping. People walk by and think we have just Brynn and then they see our Mister sitting below on the bottom and they point and say, "omg, look at that little guy, there's another one in there!" LOL When Baylen was a newborn, he layed below Brynn's seat in a bed that you can unhook from the stroller. You can see on the site all of the different accessories one can buy. We purchased the bottle/bag attachment that you clip around the top bar of stroller so we could put a water bottle and a milk bottle back there when needed. It works out great! We have this red one, as shown above in this photo I borrowed from a website. LOVE this STROLLER!

I saw one of these in a mall once and thought it was great! My boys won't sit in a stroller anymore though, so it doesn't really work for me. I could really use one of those standing baords that hooks onto the back on the carriage we have now though, so one of them could take a break if needed. Mental note to self-check out One Step Ahead's website and get one!

Thanks for the heads up. I forgot this blog wasn't like Xanga. And knowing him, I wouldn't put it past him to start with the black mail.
