New stroller!

Since I finally have a place to talk “mom” stuff I thought I’d post about our new stroller since I LOVE it!

We have an Inglesina Zippy from when Braysen was born.  We can put our car seat on it and it has worked pretty good for us.  I really like the quick fold and overall it’s a great stroller!  The thing is, I’ve wanted an Umbrella lightweight stroller to just toss and go with.  (not saying we don’t do that with the Zippy though too)  Braysen is kind of an anti-stroller kiddo (don’t get me started on how that all happened!) and I really had this hope that an umbrella stroller would be easier for him to get in/out and he’d be more comfy in it.  I wanted a Maclaren (still do actually!) but I saw some good reviews on a new one called the “G-Lite” from Uppababy when they started appearing.  They are fairly new and just caught my attention.  I thought of a double stroller for the 2 kiddos but the $$ when Braysen doesn’t even like to ride in the stroller turned us off for now.

Well, after putting off getting a new stroller we came across a deal we couldn’t pass up!  The deals site I visit daily (Mama Bargains)** had the Uppababy G-Lite stroller for only $49.99 +s/h which is like 50% off so I couldn’t pass it up!!!!  It is sooo lightweight at just around 8lbs. and folds up nice & easy!! Braysen likes it surprisingly so all is good in stroller land.  He sometimes likes to push it himself instead of sitting in it but it still is working out better for us so far! You can see the stroller in the post below with pics from the Waterfront.

There are like a million stroller options out there, even way more so then when I first looked before Braysen was born.   I’m happy with these 2 for now but I still think I’m going to end up wanting a Maclaren eventually for Merrick.  Guess time will tell!

**will do a post later about Mama Bargains website because I think it rocks by the way**
