Wow so quickly time flew by and Josiah is now 8 months plus old. And I’m joining MomBloggersplanet’s monthly contest again, this time the theme is stroller!
Stroller is definitely one of the major and most important purchase parents can make when they found out they are having a baby, well at least for us it is. Being GREEN minded, we like to buy Pre-loved, Used and 2nd hand products, whatever the word you use. So for a bulk purchase like a stroller, we decided to buy a used one too. I found our first stroller on Mudah and met up with the couple in The Curve, however our first stroller from Disney was short lived. Not that it was bad, but it was BIG and HEAVY. We drive a Myvi, a car well known for it’s tiny boot space, so the stroller cannot fit at all.
Eventually, I found out about Combi strollers and their quality, but they are so pricey! A basic new one cost like RM699 above…until I found it online in a used stuffs online store. I had the thing shipped to me, amazingly yes they can ship strollers too!
So, we’ve been using this orange combi stroller ever since and as it’s among the lightest weight strollers we could find on the market, I find lifting and folding it is quite easy. After folding it is totally flat and fits nicely into the boot with ample space left. Plus the stroller can be adjusted to several seating positions.
This is Josiah’s only fav position now, he doesn’t like to lie down like newborns would. He likes to sit up, but he seldom sit lying back, being a big boy now he likes to sit straight up so that he can turn around and view the many interesting things going around him, like this.
In those days parents don’t really need strollers, that’s because that time they don’t have so many places to go ‘strolling’ about in. But today, it’s totally essential, unless you want your baby to live couped up at home, which is well, not so healthy eh. Babies nowadays love to go out and socialise, and we can’t keep carrying them either right? So yea, that’s how important a good stroller to the lives of many parents today.
So join the contest yourself if you have a baby 0-3 years old…who knows you might walk away with the prizes which include photobooks from PhotoBookMalaysia and a purse hook from AliceWonders.
