Beaner's New Ride

Over Thanksgiving we received an early Christmas present from Nono and Nana (James' parents). I was sitting on the couch after a nice long, Thanksgiving nap, just watching the game, when Nono handed me a holiday card. Inside was a picture of a Bugaboo stroller. He said, "it's yours... pick out whichever one you'd like."

So, James and I did our research over the weekend and decided to take a stroll over to Cobble Hill and take them for a test drive. While our hearts (and eyes) were set on the Bugaboo, we met Karla of Ola Baby and she overwhelmed me (James kept his cool) with information about stroller suspensions, how you can position babies facing you, facing others, resting at 180 degrees, 90 degrees, 45 degrees, some strollers even swivel all the way around, some come with bassinets, some you can take for a jog, some are too wide, some are great for the subway.... I couldn't take it so James and I decided to leave the poor woman alone and grab a bite to eat.

On our way to grab a bite, we spotted other new moms with their UPPAbaby strollers... a good sign as Cobble Hill is stroller city (I thought Park Slope was bad). 15 minutes later, we were back with Karla. James convinced me that the UPPAbaby was the way to go. I agreed and was happy that he took charge and just made the decision for us. It arrives in a week.



Thank you Nono & Nana!
