If you look back at my previous posts about strollers you will realize how much effort and time we put into looking for the perfect one. There was just so much to consider and having lots of choices out there did not help in the selection. Furthermore, being very particular about having the features and functionalities we wanted to be in that stroller made choosing even more difficult. Ah well, I am just glad that the search is over. I am very happy with what we bought. I am very excited to use it and now will have to look at the many other things that we need to purchase for baby’s arrival.
