SillybillyzstrollersnugglebagKeeping baby warm while out and about in the winter and on cool spring days can be a challenge.  Silly Billyz Stroller Snuggle Bag is a great solution for those times when you need to get out but it’s too cold for baby.  The Stroller Snuggle Bag gives you the motivation you might need to get your outdoor exercise in on those chilly mornings.

This wind and water resistant stroller Snuggle Bag will keep your little one cozy, warm
and dry while out. It has a fully removable zip front cover
and a nylon front and fleece or sherpa inside. The stroller Snuggle Bag
works with most 3 and 5 point harness systems and is generously sized
for babies and toddlers up to age 3.  The snuggle bag is machine washable and can be tumbled dried so there is no need to worry about messes.

The stroller snuggle bag is available in pink, blue and cinnamon to accommodate both boys and girls and those who prefer a gender neutral color will appreciate the cinnamon snuggle bag.  This makes a great baby shower or new baby gift. 

When not on her stroller, Madelyn often uses her stroller snuggle bag like a sleeping bag.  She slips inside and then places the zipper cover over herself and gets comfy.  Very cute!

Silly Billyz also sells play blankets that look super comfy, long sleeve bibs, biblets, and more.

Joovy – Big Caboose Stand-On Triple Stroller

Age 0-1 year, Age 1-3, Age 3-5, Fun stuff for parents, Strollers, Travel

Joovy_bigcabooseDeedra, one of my neighbors that has three kids once told me that once you have two kids, why not have three or more? It’s all the same.. she said. I’m not sure if I agree. It’s amazing to me that a mom can stay sane while raising three kids, and working from home and sometimes in an office like she does.

Moms like Deedra, and kids like hers deserve a comfortable ride. The Joovy Big Caboose Stand-On Triple Stroller accommodates three children ranging in age from new born to about age five depending on weight.

When I received the Joovy Big Caboose Stand-On Triple Stroller to review on The Mommy Insider, I never thought that I wouldn’t be able to put it in my own car, a Nissan Quest.   However, as luck would have it, I loaned my car to my sister in law just in time for the review of the stroller.  I had her Toyota Corolla for a few days. At first I thought I wasn’t even going to try to get the stroller in the car. But, I really needed to try it out for the review and I happened to have two children on my testing panel available while I was borrowing her car, so I had to get the stroller in the car and get over to their house no matter what. Much to my surprise, the stroller fit well in her car. I had to fold down part of the back seat but the stroller slid right in. I have a feeling that most parents with three kids don’t drive a Toyota Corolla but instead drive an SUV or mini-van in which case the stroller fits with ease. The weight is a little hefty at about 37 pounds, but I didn’t have a problem loading and unloading myself.

I am very impressed with the durability and handling of the Joovy Big Caboose Stand-On Triple Stroller. I took my three testing panel children to Kohl’s to test the stroller out because I knew there would be plenty of obstacles and tight spaces there.  The two younger children, seven months and nine months, sat in the front seats. The front seats accommodate car seats or the child can sit in the two position seat comfortably. Both seats have five point harnesses so baby is secure.  You should have seen the looks I got from passers by at Kohl’s. People actually thought I had three children!  Right!

While in Kohl’s I took some very smooth sharp turns, and was able to navigate most of the isles just fine. The only time I had a problem was when there was something large in the main isle which made it difficult for me to get out. I would simply back up and find another isle to go down though, so it was not a big deal.  Pushing the stroller was a lot easier than I expected.  I was pushing three kids weighing a total of seventy pounds and never struggled to push or turn the stroller.

The stroller comes with two car seat adapters, two snack and drink trays, and two full size canopies all of which are easy to remove and replace.

The third child can either sit or stand. There is a comfortable platform the child can sit on complete with a safety buckle to keep the child secure. When sitting, the child will be facing mom. If the child chooses to stand, he can lean on the strap across the back of the stroller and face away from you.

The huge storage basket fit my diaper bag, a handbag, snacks, toys, and assorted other things and is easy to access which is very important to me.

The Joovy Big Caboose Stand-On Triple Stroller folds and unfolds very easily. It literally took me about 15 seconds to fold the stroller and get it in the car and vice versa. It was not a strain at all.

I think any parent with three children will love this stroller. It’s easy to use, a smooth push, a comfortable ride, and fits well in a family SUV or mini van. This is a stroller that will last for years. The  Deluxe Rip Stop Nylon Fabric makes for an easy to clean stoller that can be used and passed on for years.

Joovy Caboose Stand On Tandem Stroller

Strollers, Travel, , ,

Joovy
I absolute love the Joovy Caboose Stand On Tandem Stroller. I initially reviewed it in November but the review seemed to have gotten ‘lost’ so I am reviewing it again and am happy to tell you all about it..again!

This tandem stroller is perfect for families with 2 kids that are still ‘stroller age’. The younger child rides up front either in a car seat or sitting in the seat (see photo below) and the older child sites or stands on the rear platform. The older child is facing you when sitting on the platform and facing away from you when standing. There is plenty of back support when standing or sitting which was one of my concerns when I first got the Joovy Caboose Stand On Tandem Stroller.   When Sebastian ‘rides’ on the rear platform he holds on to the foam covered handles. 

The Joovy Caboose Stand On Tandem Stroller has so many features that I love that I am going to list them for you:

  • Older child can stand or sit
  • Padded back support for older child when sitting
  • Foam covered handles make for comfortable pushing
  • Huge storage basket can hold my diaper bag, toy, and snacks.
  • Universal car seat attachment. Almost every infant car seat will fit.
  • Super smooth ride for both me when pushing and the kids when riding.
  • Folds almost flat for storage.
  • Folds easily and quickly.
  • Comes in 4 colors
  • Removable canopy for the front rider. This is great when Madelyn is asleep. I put her car seat canopy up as well as the removable canopy and she is in her own little ‘pod’.
  • Replacing the universal car seat holder with a tray and cup holder is simple.
  • The front seat has two comfortable positions.

I recommend the Joovy Caboose Stand On Tandem Stroller because it is easy to fold and store, simple to use and ‘very comfy’ according to Sebastian (7 years old and about 45 lbs.) which is the max for the back rider.

Stokke Xplory Stroller

Strollers

This is the most unique stroller I’ve ever seen.  From what I hear, one of the favorite features of this stroller is the fact that the child is higher up than in other strollers.

Features: Stokke™ Xplory® is ideal to take into a restaurant or coffee shop. The diagonal frame makes it easy to place the stroller close to the table, so it’s not obtrusive in anyway. What’s more, you won’t need a highchair. The seat is adjustable so your child can sit up to the table height.

Cost: $749.00
