Tiptoe through the Tulips

While strolling thru the park one day, In the merry month of May:
I was taken by surprise by a pair of roguish eyes
In a moment my poor heart was stole away.

We went to a store in Gaithersburg called "Great Beginnings" (www.greatbeginningsonline.com) to look at a stroller that we had seen online. This store is the only one in the area that carries the stroller. We definitely wanted to see it and "test drive" it prior to purchasing just to be sure we'd like it. The stroller is by the company Stokke (www.xplory.com).

This stroller is awesome. The seat adjusts up and down so the baby can be higher than a normal stroller. And the seat also can face you or face out. The wheels also can be adjusted so that you can take it up/down stairs (like a hand truck). So we were there looking at TONS of strollers - BOB, XPlory, several others. Too many decisions. Then we looked at car seats. We finally asked the salesman for help to detach the seat from the base. He giggled and said "must be your first child", then with a quick sleight of hand the seat was removed....ah the secret latch in the back. We were ready to leave still undecide about the stroller when another couple came in and had their baby girl with them. They too were looking at the XPlory and placed the baby in the stroller. That clinched it for us. Seeing how engaged she was in the stroller was definitely worthwhile.

We bought the stroller in a nice bright shade of green.
