5 Ways this stroller could improve my life.

The 2009 Mark III Trailer.I have been eying this stroller for about a year now… and since our Chico broke, I have a sneaking suspicion this beauty might show up with a bow on April 2nd for my birthday. I’m not sure when the last time I was so excited for a birthday to come. This stroller really has the potential to improve my life! Okay, I NEVER thought I’d ever say something as ridiculous as that, but I have come to learn that I am more easily amused as a mom. Anyway, here are the 5 ways this stroller could improve my life:
- I could bring sexy back. Seriously girls, I don’t know if it’s stress or Tavin eating all my food lately, but I freakin fit in my skinny jeans again! HOWEVER, I’m still quite squishy. If I had this stroller I could run AND bike with Tavin and grasp that one small chance to look hot in a bathing suit before summer.
- I’d get to see that silly little grin that Tavin gets when the wind is in his hair. I can’t wait to see the look on his face when I buckle him in this hot rod. He’ll be giggling and saying “what’s that” every 5 seconds.
- Our annual beach trip will be less work and more fun. Have you ever tried to push a Chico through the sand? We did last year… no bueno. This bad boy has rubber tires and I suspect will make lugging all our stuff and Tavin across the beach a cinch.
- I could run in the rain again! I have this great memory of me and a girlfriend who after working out, we were running out of the gym and decided how fun it would be to just keep running… it was so exhilarating and I can’t tell you how amazing it is to do this. You must try it. With a baby attached to my hip, I never thought this would be a reality for quite a long time (and probably not as cute to see an old lady running in the rain!). BUT, with this stroller, I can securely zip the weather shield and keep Tavin cozy with blankets and slippers while I run like a crazy person.
- Even if I don’t bring sexy back and Tavindoesn’t care at all about the wind blowing through his hair, the stroller gets stuck in the sand and the rain leaks through the weather shield, I’ll still feel good knowing that I’m giving it my best shot to be a fit, fun mommy with the help of this red beauty.

AND it has a big front wheel! All the jog/trailers I’ve seen have a funny, small wheel in front when turned into a jogger. This thing is amazing.

what’s this costco wagon your mom was telling me about? Is it beach worthy?

Oh yes… super cool. Big tires, can hold lots of stuff, and Maci could nap in there at the beach under an umbrella!

I have the Schwinn version of this and I love love love it! Trust me it will make a difference in your world. I strap Lola, the diaper bag and the front wheel in that sucker hop on my bike and end up wherever my legs will peddle me. Once there in a couple easy moves (while she’s strapped) I pop on the wheel and cruise around with her in a stroller. As for the beach nothing is magic in the sand but if you turn that thing around and drag it behind you it will glide with as much ease you could ask for and it holds a ton! Trust me it’s worth the money. I think the best part is it folds up super flat so it easily fits in the car or storage. We do everything in ours. I can’t wait for you to get one.
