A New Ride For The Kiddos

Peg Perego Tender MT Double Stroller Pattern: Toffee

We received a new double stroller for the kiddos at a recent shower. It was quite exciting as Brad and I had really gone back and forth over this decision of a double stroller. Should we get a front to back, a side by side or one of the caboose strollers that has a place for a little one and then the sibling gets to ride sitting on a platform or standing up. There were so many things to think through on this decision. I think that Brad might of preferred a side by side but we ended up with a front to back in the brand that he really liked so that was the compromise. We ended up with a Peg Perego Tender MT Double Stroller. After talking with a few people and getting their thoughts I just decided that the front to back would be better for us. The main winning reason being that a front to back will still allow me to go to Joanns and fit down the isles. The side by sides that we had looked at would have a hard time fitting down some of the isles specifically in the fabric department at my favorite store. I also like the idea of keeping the kiddos separate with no tugging or touching being possible with this option. They are kids and I am sure that they will find a way to reach each other but anything that I can at least pretend to prevent I am a fan of! We tried out the stroller with Charis after receiving it and she was a HUGE fan! She has a Cabbage Patch Kid that she calls Big Girl so Charis rode in front with Big Girl in the back and she LOVED every minute of it! It was hard to coax her out of the stroller. She asks to get it out when we go to the store now instead of the single stroller but we will wait for Cai’s big arrival before using the double stroller on a daily bases. One more great feature of the stroller is that the seats will lay flat so Cai will be able to take naps while Charis and I peruse the stores. That is what guys like to do anyways while the women shop (you know that you have seen them sitting in those uncomfortable chairs at the mall snoozing away) he will just be able to snooze in comfort.

  1. How exciting! A 2 little person stroller will make these a lot easier than having to make Charis walk everywhere! AND I’m really glad she likes it. I think it’s cause she knows she will have the best view, not that Cai minds cause he’ll be asleep. ;)

  2. Mom told me you picked it with JoAnn’s aisles in mind–too funny! I’m glad you found one you and Brad could agree upon and that Charis apparently likes so much too! :) Love you guys.

  3. I’m sure you thought of this already, but the first thing I thought was that Cai will be protected from the sun. Thank you for the anecdotes. Love you guys, Scott
