It's true I'm in love with B.O.B. Don't worry Josh is aware and he's thrilled, in fact he too loves B.O.B.! I'm referring to my double jogger that arrived today. Yay, I am seriously SO excited about this thing!! Read on and you will see it is worth every red cent!
Back when Greyson was born I bought the double Maclaren, lovely stroller glides like a dream and turns on a dime. Perfect for shopping and your occasional walk. But, I love to get out and walk/jog with the boys especially on these sunny days. So I looked around for a double jogger, I wanted something with the large jogger wheels along with a swivel front wheel. This would make everything easier constantly going up and down sidewalks to the road...potholes, whatever I was tired of tipping the stroller back each time to maneuver it. So I found one on Ebay, it was a brand I had never heard of, but it appeared to have everything I was looking for, and it was only $130. Well I was still well below the weight limit with both boys in it but I felt like I needed to put more weight on G's side to keep it from flipping. Sure enough I loaded Levi in one day and went to reach for G just as a runner was passing with his dog. Levi craned his neck to watch as they passed and the whole jogger toppled over on top of Levi with him IN it! Instant pandemonium, I flipped it over pulled him out...he was bleeding, he cut his top and bottom lip and his eyebrow. Oh poor guy, I felt terrible. Nothing a popsicle couldn't fix though. :) Eventually we were off, and then the anger started to set in as I had a nice long walk to stew about what had just happened. How could that happen, what if it happened to G? Who the heck makes a crappy stroller that could flip so easily? This could happen anytime. It's impossible to load them both at the same time. When we came home I immediately put it on craigslist. I had a ton of responses and sold it the next morning. Off it went with a tinge of guilt...hoping and praying they would never experience flipage.
Hence B.O.B. my duallie revolution he's stable, secure, smooth, easy on the eyes and I'm certain he will never let me down or send my children a flying! What more could a girl want? :)
