Things I love Thursday

We are a one car family.  We have been for 2.5+ years.  Its not a big deal.  Jut works close to home and in the summer he rides his bike.  In the winter if I need/want the car, I take him to work.  Mainly the kids and I walk wherever we want to go.  Our house is in the perfect location to do it.  My Britax stroller has logged many, many, many miles, and I've loved it as a stroller.  It has been the perfect stroller for us until now.


A is getting to big to wear anymore.  I can still put him in my Moby wrap but he's almost 20 lbs and its hot to wear him in the summer.  So, I did some research and finally broke down and purchased a double stroller.  I opted for a Joovy Caboose Ultra Light.  It arrived via FedEx this afternoon. 


Jut put it together this evening and we took it for a test drive...or stroll rather.  It was great.  E loved sitting in the back "jump" seat.  I think she loved looking at us so that we could hear her while she was jabbering about everything.  A sat very comfortably in the front seat enjoying the ride.  I pushed it up and down a couple of hills without problem.  It has some suspension in the wheels....seemed like a fairly smooth ride.  It wasn't huge...not much bigger than the single Britax actually.  That was nice...and it was the 'ultra light' model and so it didn't feel hard to push.  I think I'm really going to like this upgrade.


It will make trips to the local parks much more feasible now that A can ride along with E.  I'm excited to take it out for longer excursions.  I hope I'll be as happy with it in 3+ years as I am with my Britax.
