double stroller

Here's a pic of my new stroller i bougth last weekend! Pretty nice hey!! Well it should be for $300.00! Yeppers they arn't cheap. Which is why we did a lot of research about double strollers before purchasing one. My friend Annette was also in the market for a double stroller so as a team we came up with our final decision on which one we think is the best one out there for a decent price. This stroller is the newest model of the graco double strollers it is called Graco Quattro Tour Duo Glidder or something like that. This color pattern shown above is only availbale at toys r us but you can get this stroller in black and silver at the bay or sears. The going price is $299.99 but this week at toys are us you save $50.00 so my total with tax was like $279.00. I don't know how many of you have looked at double strollers but there is a difference in size and weight on them and how they handle so with pushing two kids you want ot think ahead at what will be enjoyable to push and this is definetley awesome to push!! I believe each seat can hold up to 50 pounds a car seat carrier is able to sit in the front or back seat. It has suspension and turns corners amazingly!! And ot top it all off it folds into almost the same size as a regular stroller, alittle bit longer and a little heavier but it is great!! So there you have it. When we first started looking we were really interested in teh sit and stand one but after Annette tried it her review came back very negative and i also was told by another girl that she bought one and hates it. So make sure when you are looking for that perfect double stroller that you do your homework!! Now i jsut need to convince john to buy the matching car seat that goes with the stroller, that is a whopping $160.00 expensive hey! Well if any of you woul d like to try out my stroller let me know. Maybe i will go the distance and be really lame and video tape myself folding the stroller and giving an online commercial, i will have to do my hair before that video is done so hang in there!
One other little thing for all you american shoppers this stroller is $139.00 in the states at walmart and target adn it comes in grey out there as well as the black. So that is another idea. Oh and Costco out here online has it as well for $169.00 i think or around there but then you hav eot order it online and i don't know how to do all that crap!.
THis stroller can be dangerous if not driven carefully!! Here's what happened the first day i took the girls out in it! We were shopping around sears and i was manuvering inbetween all the clothes racks and i stopped to look at an outfit when i hear Janae yell < "Mommy Clothes" i look over and see that i have driven the stroller right into a rack of clothes and janae is underneath as i pull the stroller back to get her out from the clothes i realize that there wa s a metal clothes rack sticking out and on janae's foreheard is a big red mark. Oops, i guessi rammed her head into the clothes rack, OUCH!! So remember it may be amazing to drive and is shorter then some double strollers but it's not as short as your single so pay atttention!!

Well that is it in a nut shell. Thanks HEather for suggesting the blog idea!! Hope you all enjoyed the read

Love your new stroller - must wipe the drool off my chin now:) They are really expensive. Especially for us since we would like a double jogger stroller.
Looking forward to your commercial:) We should plan a walk sometime so I can check out this stroller for myself!
