Yowsers! Lots of comments and advice on that one, I LOVE it! Ultimately, for our purposes and budget, Eric and I have pretty much decided on the Chicco Cortina Keyfit 30 travel system, hopefully in “Adventure” which is a teal/green & gray fabric. We have a few main reasons for this (not that I need to justify my choice, but for documentation): one – the car seat is the #1 rated by Consumer Reports, two – I like the idea of the larger “capacity” because of my previously mentioned fear of having freakishly large children, three – any color we get is pretty gender neutral, and four – I’ve read several reviews in which people mention how well the car seat fits into their smaller cars (Jetta, Civic, etc) without making the front passenger seat unusable. I like my little Subaru – it’s paid for – and I want to keep it for a few more years at least. I still do need to make sure the stroller fits in my trunk though I guess. Anyway, the Chicco is a little more $$ than some but I’m not too upset about that.
I spent some time looking at the Uppababy Vista last night online and drooling over it – wow, that thing is cool. Funny story – a couple weeks ago I sent Eric to Babies R Us to get a shower gift for my friend’s daughter. I guess in the parking lot he saw this lady folding up an awesome stroller practically down to nothing and he thought that was pretty cool. So he was trying to describe it to the people in the store to see if that had something like that (they didn’t). So last night I showed it to him online and he was like “that’s totally it!” But I think it’s a little more than what we need – and as much as I love him, Eric is way too cheap to spend that much on a stroller. I’m not sure I really see myself doing a lot of running with it anyway, and definitely not in the rain or anywhere there are a lot of mosquitos, hehe. When the kiddos get bigger though I definitely might look at the Uppababy G-Luxe or G-Lite for running around with.
I forgot to mention yesterday that I had some fun messing with someone this weekend. Eric and I were out on a walk and these two guys came out of their house and one of them asked me if there was something in the water. I asked why and he was rambling on about how he kept seeing couples around who were either pregnant or had kids with them. So I said, “what do you mean, I’m not pregnant!?” I could tell he got really worried at first but Eric laughed and said “yes she is!”
ONE MORE DAY AND I AM DONE WITH SCHOOL! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
