After many a trip down to the park and around the block a few times with the umbrella stroller trying to fold up while Bubba's in it, we took a fun trip to Babies R Us. I had a coupon and some time to kill while people strolled through our home, so I figured "let's see what they got".
I talked to a person in strollers when I got there, intending to purchase another umbrella stroller, 'cause I figured maybe I just got a really cheap one(Which I actually did, I got it for $5 at HEB one day) that wasn't of great quality. But, the nice sales guy points out to me on the different styles of U strollers, that they are only rated to 30lbs! No wonder my poor Bubba was risking being folded on a daily basis. He has been too heavy for one since his 12 month checkup!
Thankfully he also pointed out many "full-size" strollers that still weren't as big as a travel system stroller, but were rated to a much more comfy 45-50 lbs. Bella could even ride in it! Bella and I picked this one by Jeep. She liked it because it "looked pretty" and I liked it because of it's thin profile with the one front wheel that can lock in position, and the tires are inflatable so it's a softer ride/push.
And the bonus ... we get to the checkout and are finishing up paying for it and Bella exclaims "Look it comes with an ipod!". It doesn't really, but the picture on the box was next to the explanation that it has speakers and a jack to plug in your music player. :) Yay! I get music for both of us when we stroll!
All in all a great purchase. Bubba loves it, Bella thinks it's cool, and it's really lightweight and easy for this preggo mommy to maneuver in and out of the van.
