Shopping

We've been in the market for a couple of umbrella strollers for a while now. We have a planned trip to the States and Canada over the holidays and I wanted to bring two lightweight strollers instead of our one double stroller since the girls are bigger now, sit up and walk around a lot, and with two small very light strollers it'll be easier on buses (have you ever tried getting a double stroller on a Toronto bus?!? DON'T!) and subways (this was we can each grab a baby, collapse and carry a stroller up and down the many stairs of the NY subways).

But it seems the no longer make what I think of when you mention an umbrella stroller. Now they're all bigger and heavier and fancier. Well, we found a simple one that was nice and cheap and perfectly functional so we got a couple, and also, at the same store (I'm starting to feel the Baby Michelle love) found car seats that convert into booster seats on amazing sale. Of course it was the last day so we bought the two seats and two strollers and schlepped them all, along with our double stroller and two babies, home. On foot.

We are amazing.

And yes, I'll post pictures.

Oh, and Eli fell asleep on the way home so I stepped the stroller up all four flights (she was in one of the new singles) and she's still asleep, slumped in the stroller while it's parked in the kitchen. Yes, I got a picture of that.
