Ah...the little things

It's amazing the things that excite you when you have children. I have been searching for a double stroller to use after Gavin is born, so I'm not having to chase after two children. I wanted a sit n' stand stroller and a double umbrella stroller. I have been coveting this particular umbrella stroller made by Combi. It is small, easy to fold and has lots of little extras. It also costs $200 (more than the full-size sit n' stand that I want). I had decided that I would just get a little bit cheaper one that was around $80 and be done with it. However, today I went to a consignment sale and found the Combi stroller in near mint condition with the instructions for only $100. I was so excited - I marvel at the things that excite me since I have had a child. I mean, it's a stroller for pete's sake!! Oh well...

Are you looking at the Joovy double sit n stand stroller? We "test drove" that one with Jacob before baby Eric arrived, and love it! We didn't have room to buy it when we were last there since we had to get some other big things and our little SUV can only fit so much, but that's our next purchase!

Good work finding the Combi umbrella stroller! Congrats!

Hey, I can definitely relate to both bargain excitement and stroller excitement! Jared wonders why we need 6 strollers for 2 kids (I've actually whittled it down to 5 now, but I've got my eye on a couple of new ones!). A friend of mine has the double Combi and loves it!
