The Stroller Dilemma

My Stroller Dilemma Since my third pregnancy, I made the decision to update my strollers. I bought a few with each kid and the stroller stash was not working anymore. Too many options when trying to select what would be best for my particular situation that day, one feature per stroller, and too much baby gear to store.  Current Stroller Situation If you read through my list, you now know I have three children and have owned at one point or another six different strollers. Out of the six strollers, my spouse and I bought five. Only one stroller was a gift. Out of the five strollers we purchased, only two were purchased brand new. The rest were previously owned.  Currently, I still have the two Kolcraft Contours Strollers, The Graco Duo Glider and The Graco Snugride Stroller Frame of the six strollers I have listed above. I am currently trying to sell The Graco Snugride. My Graco Duo Glider has seen better days and I am either going to give it away to someone I kn...

Buying From E-Bay

The Highs and Pitfalls from Buying From E-Bay What about the possibility of buying counterfeits? It is a possibility. So buyers should be careful whenever they are buying products outside of the official manufacturer and approved locations of sale that the manufacturer's websites disclose. Use caution especially if you are buying from someone locally, secondhand stores, E-bay, Craig's List, Facebook, websites of other less well-known stores and so forth.   Should I Still Buy From E-bay? Counterfeit products are most likely everywhere around us, sometimes we notice, most times we probably don't.

I just read an article about people selling through Amazon and allegedly selling counterfeit cloth diapers in this article  here . I've purchased cloth diapers from both E-bay and Amazon and fr...

A Brief Overview Of My Stroller Obsession

All The Strollers I Have Owned So Far: 1. Disney's Winnie The Pooh Umbrella Stroller . This had no storage and very basic. A lightweight stroller for my first child. I use to leave it in the trunk of my car and used for outings. I did have the opportunity to use it a little with my second before we decided to toss it because it was just so beaten up by that point. I believe we purchased ours from our local Walmart. 2. Graco Single Stroller . When I was expecting my second child,  I bought this from a second-hand store.  It did come with a car seat, but I purchased a new one for my baby. The single strollers that come with a car seat are called Travel Systems, and I've posted a link to a similar style to what I had. 3. Graco Duo Glider Classic Connect Double Stroller . This came along after I was pregnant with my second child. This was a baby gift from my mother. After I had bought a second double stroller, I began using this as my travel stroller. (...
