My First Car or is it a Stroller?

As you may recall in a previous post I spoke about the invaluable book called BABY BARGAINS SECRETS, when we were selecting the infant seat for our vehicle, once again it was used to select the baby stroller. By using this book a lot of the research had already been done and a short list of suitable strollers was drawn up.

To get a better visual of the selected strollers, the next step was to go online and checkout the strollers. Amazon.com for Babies R Us, Sears, Burlington and then Bergstroms. OK, now we have a feel for what to look for, so it's off to the stores next.

After visiting numerous stores such as Babies R Us, Sears and Burlington Coat Factory we eventually ended up at Bergstroms. It was here that we selected the stroller that we eventually purchased, a Peg Perego Milano XL. This stroller had all the necessary features and was robust enough for the daily beating it was sure to take in being folded up and put into the truck numerous times a day.

The beauty of this Cadillac of strollers is that it also doubles up as a baby carriage. In Jack's case, this was perfect for sleeping in without being disturbed by our rather large hounds! With a reversible handle bar you can have the baby facing you or away from you, which always helps when the wind is blowing in your face!!

It folds up very compact for such a large stroller, and is remarkably light for it's size. The wheels are made totally of rubber instead of getting the normal plastic with a small band of rubber. This stroller has been in use for over three years and though it is showing signs of wear it is still sturdy enough for its second tour of duty.

Jack being the expert on how to negotiate that stroller is now showing his sister how to climb aboard!!!
