Carter is getting big enough to sit in his Chicco Cortina stroller without having to be in the carseat (the carseat snaps into the stroller). Though when running errands if we won't be in a store too long, I leave him in the carseat so I don't have to buckle him back into it when we get back to the car (he hates that process).
I've loved this stroller but it's huge when in a crowd and it doesn't fold up very compactly. So I know I'll be wanting an umbrella-type of stroller at some point that is smaller. Home Goods had a few Maclaren strollers there on Friday. I've had a few people recommend this brand to me and decided to get the Quest Sport.
I paid $150 for this stroller that is normally $220-245. It's a nice stroller, but I'm not sure if we really need to spend this much on an umbrella-type stroller. Especially since I still really, really, really want a jogging stroller. So I'm trying to decide if I should return it and get a cheaper umbrella-type stroller. Though, I think putting some money into this stroller makes sense since it'll probably be the one we use the most often as Carter gets older.
I'd absolutely love a BOB jogging stroller - they have the best reviews, but I don't think I can bring myself to pay $300+. So I'm currently spending all my free time researching jogging strollers to figure out what would be the best stoller for us. And to make everything more complicated, I'm trying to decide if we should be getting a double jogging stroller so that when we have a second kid, I don't have to get another jogging stroller.
Hopefully I'll make a decision soon because I'd love to run outside with Carter as much as possible before the summer heat sets in.
I had a soccer game today. We don't have a keeper this session so I took a turn playing in goal today. I did pretty well considering how long it's been since I played keeper. We won 2-1 and I couldn't do anything about the one goal the other team scored. We had a defensive breakdown where two guys thought the other was getting the ball and someone from the other team kicked the ball instead and popped it over my head. If I'm going to have to play in goal again, I'm going to need new gloves. Mine are from high school and 12+ years old and falling apart.

For the umbrella-type I would definitely go uber cheap and get one for $5. Joggers are expensive but you're someone who will actually use it. We may actually have an umbrella stroller you can have.
