we have been having issues with the double stroller that we had for a while now (it was $40 at a yard sale, bought before we knew we were having twins...thought it would be great for tuscan and a baby.. but then there were two) so recenly we have been talking more seriously about investing in a better one...one that offered more support in the seats, one with more reclining options in the front and back and right now, very importantly, something that had a 5 point harness in the front and back. the one we currently have the back seat could either be straight up or flat down...there was no in between option and the front seat barely reclined at all...not enough for a baby to comfortably take a nap. and it didnt have 5 point harnesses...a must have for our babies at their current age...my daredevil vincenzo has recently decided that he really likes to ride in the stroller, hanging over the edge so he can watch the ground go by...it scares me to death!
so after showing up at jess's friday with only 3 wheels on my stroller, i decided it was time to move forward. i spent the weekend comparing prices and model and decided on one at babies r us. i got a great deal, as i had a 20% off coupon for there and i got the exact stroller that i wanted, all the way down to the color combo i wanted!! and i love it, maybe even more so than the kids did!! it folds nicely, its easy to open, its so much safer, its sturdier...its basically amazing!! so heres some pics of tuscan and matteo trying it out, inside - it was raining when i got it home!
and matteo decided to play with tar tonight...i love seeing tarzan with the kids...its something i used to dream about when i first got him 8 years ago...and its amazing to see it really happening, he is sooooo good with them, so patient, never snippy...the can crawl on him, drool on him, pull on him...he doesnt care!

I am so in love with the new stroller too, and very excited that you were able to go to BRU and get it the same day! There is nothing like instant gratification! Plus the colors are really awesome! Enjoy!
That's great news, Shannon! Now that we are having another baby in December, I am trying to figure out what to do, too! In your search for a stroller, did you find some that had a car carrier that snapped into a double? Silas will still need to be wheeled around WITH the new baby.
