The pastel horror

I could say some pretty awful things about this stroller. I bought it for $5 when we moved. It's exclusively for airport use. I don't care what the airline does to it. The only downfall is that I have to be seen in public pushing something that looks like it belongs to ... this is where I have to stop myself. But you can go there quietly in your mind. It's just too rude to say out loud. Despite the yellow elephants, blue lady bugs and tattered edges, it's actually quite functional. Big basket underneath, cup holders, single handle, sunbrella. We don't use strollers anymore in our everyday life. I sold our good one when we moved. Arden wasn't even 2 yet, but we're not big mall shoppers and there's very few places we frequent requiring a stroller. Most stores have carts, and Arden doesn't really want to be confined when we're out exploring some place. So it's a novelty when I pull it out. I just won't be surprised if I find my brother and sister-in-law walking on the opposite side of the museum from me.

might i suggest an upgrade you to the $30 umbrella stroller at Toys R Us which are actually quite lovely. we have one in brown green and orange stripes which i think is rather jaunty.

and i dig sawyer's new boy cut.
