Three Reasons To Keep Your Baby Jogger Beyond The Toddler Years
I still have a few more Paris posts to share, but while I work on those, today I want to talk about strollers, specifically baby jogger strollers. I've had ours since the birth of my son, almost 8 years ago now, and I still use it almost daily. The reason I'm writing this post is because many new moms quickly get rid of them the minute their kids show no interest in riding them. The other day, my husband even suggested we should get rid of ours. And I just gave him a look. What does he know? But I have to say, for me, my baby jogger has been quite convenient and a life saver.
First and foremost, I actually prefer the baby jogger stroller over the umbrella stroller. If you use it for jogging, bonus points for you. I like it because it's roomier, so the bigger the kids get, they can still fit quite comfortably. Also, the baby jogger has been our best investment in children's gear.
Second, as a stay at home mom, my kids end up running errands with me {especially when they are out of school}, and whenever they are feeling a bit under the weather, it seems like the baby jogger saves my day. Sometimes it's the only way to get out and do anything.
Third, it's quite convenient on long outings and excursions {for example: the zoo, Disney World, the children's museum, etc.} because inevitably the kids will get tired of walking or even sleepy. It also provides a space to stash away snacks, drinks, and anything else you might want to take with you. Also, I much rather pack my own than rent one. Not just because of the price to rent, but also you begin to wonder how many kids have used the rental one. I feel a lot better using ours.
