Best purchase I made in a while

I bought my daughter an umbrella stroller. I wish this had been the only stroller I bought and wish I had had it with my son too. It seriously rocks! The handlebars aren't set at "woodland gnome height" like most umbrella strollers are. So now I don't have to worry about looking like Quasimodo from pushing it. It has a hood, which where we live is a necessity to avoid the baby getting a George Hamilton tan. It also comes with a rain hood which completely keeps baby dry. This will come in handy this summer I'm sure. This thing has a basket too! So no worries about where to put the diapers and wipes. It even has an extra storage pouch on the back of the hood if needed. And if that isn't enough...it reclines! Baby can actually nap in it!(See picture) The leg rest pulls out and she can slumber away in comfort. The seat is removable and wachine washable. It's sturdy too, baby's butt won't be sagging from use a week later. Having said that...it's not cheap. However, if you buy at the start of the year you can get last years model (oh the horror- my material isn't en vouge anymore!) if that doesn't bother you, on e-bay for much much much less (even with shipping). It is so worth it! It turns like a dream (which is great in tight shopping areas). Oh, and it has a shoulder carry strap. Well, really this one didn't, that was an upgrade they did for this years model, but I called the manufacturer and ordered the strap for $10 to add on to mine. Now I can take both kids to the local amusment park and carry the stroller to the tram while holding both of them. What is this piece of genius engineering? A Maclaren Quest. If you are a mom and in the market for a stroller, seriously consider this one. The weight limit is 55 lbs too, so my 4 year old can use it too if need be. So I know I'll get years of use out of it. This is the last stroller I'll ever need. Well, enough said. can you tell I like it?

It does have one downfall, no snack tray/cup holder. But seriously, this reminds me to STOP and eat or drink with baby so we interact more. I sometimes think society puts too much pressure on people to go-go-go all the time. Stop, sit and eat! Your stomach will thank you in the long run!
