Favorite things: Stroller frame


I am copying this blog idea from  Kateri's cooking blog where she writes about her favorite tools. I thought long and hard about what to write my first one about, and I decided that the one piece of baby equipment that I use a ton and have the fewest complaints about is the frame to my baby stroller (Graco SnugRider infant car seat stroller frame).

I am terrible at maneuvering anything on wheels, so I didn't want a huge stroller that I would end up running Noah into bushes with, or falling off curbs with, etc. Additionally, we have no space to store a million different types of strollers. So we ended up asking just for a frame that you attach your infant car seat onto. Thanks to our friends Lorin and Natalia, we got the frame.

The frame is not much to look at. In fact, it looks like a piece of junk. It's super light-weight, so it feels like it is going to break apart at any moment. But it is awesome! In fact, it is great because it is so light. It folds up flat and fits into the trunk of our Civic. The best thing is that it has awesome turning radius and I find it really easy to push (this is key since Noah is so heavy). I've logged so many miles on that thing, and it is still going strong. I plan on using it until Noah outgrows his infant car seat, and hopefully by then he'll be able to sit up and we can use the umbrella stroller.
