Finding the right kind of stroller for 1 or 2 children

As I mentioned on my introductory text, we have a toddler and we're also expecting a baby-boy this july. That means we need a new stroller that would suit for both of them. We've had quite a few different ones in the past 2 years, such as Gesslein vision (it's an older one) and Emmaljunga scooter-s-air, to name a few. To be honest, I found myself as a 'stroller crazy' -type of person and it seems, I'm always looking for new ones. This time around I will choose my last ones - no more changes, says my husband :) Luckily I started this process early on so we're in no hurry yet - I still have time to make my decision.

I have a few different ones on my mind and here are some of the qualities I'm looking for:
  • Stroller for two (that's the minimum requirement) but they need to convertible for 1 or 2 children
  • Preferably narrow ones (I use public transportation a lot)
  • Cocoon carrycot for the baby as he needs to lie flat
  • Not too heavy (I walk a lot)
  • Basket or some other place for groceries
I've looked into Phil&Teds (narrow, suitable for 1 or 2 children) and my new favorite Bugaboo Donkey (suitable for 1 or 2 children but not that narrow). I've been thinking about P&T stroller for a while but I have to Bugaboo Donkey just kind of wins - I've heard so many good things about it.

What do you think, which one do you prefer? Or do you have another one I should consider? I have to say the choice is very hard - I'm even gonna say buying a car is easier than finding the right kind of stroller! ;)
I also found this site that sells strollers and accessories to them. Have you seen this?

Down duvets on sale at Hemtex!

 Hey everyone! It's been a long time since I've posted anything but so much has happened: I switched to a new job, spent summer with my kids, got divorced and catch covid-19. Yes, things happen mixing good and bad things but that's how life works. Can't always choose what happens next! I've been so good at dodging the covid bullet but this time I could not and it actually me and my boys. I'm fortunately fully vaccinated so I'm good but the boys haven't but they're still doing ok and have luckily only mild symptoms. I ran fever for few days, my throat hurts and I have a semi-runny nose - but that's it. We're staying in the house for now so no super markets, gym, day care or school, and not really meeting any people. I'm working remotely from home and kids are relatively calm due to the illness. And since I've had more time at home and going through all the online stores finding the perfect down duvet on sale, I did find one at Hemtex .

Hey everyone! Summer is coming, believe or not, and many of you may already have plans for your summer vacation. Everyone travelling with kids know that you always have so much stuff with you: all the luggage, travel stroller (or two) and all those carry on bags - that's a lot with crazy, running away kids :) My opinion these days is that if you have even just one idea that can save your nerves (and muscles), take it :D I know, I've talked about these so many times so why not this time too? Lekmer has all their Carena Kobbe travel strollers on sale which are similar to Babyzen yoyo travel stroller what comes to their size but are much cheaper compared to yoyo. We're not sure what we're doing this summer since we go back and forth with our summer plans. We sorta wanna go some where warm (Bulgaria, Greece etc.) but then again we like Estonia so much that we're talking about going there with our car and my parents might even come with us. Either way, we just don

Mountain buggy duet sisarusrattaat alessa!

This post is only in finnish this time :) Mukavaa sunnuntaita kaikille! "Tämä postaus on poikkeuksellisesti vain suomeksi ja se sisältää mainoslinkkejä. Mainoslinkki on boldattu  ja vievät tällä kertaa Jollyroomin sivuille." Ulkona tulee räntää ainakin espoon suunnalla ja meidän pojat jo kovasti odottaa talvea, lunta ja sitä myöten tietenkin joulua :) Itse aloin pohtia, miten pärjään talven matkarattailla, jotka nyt olleet etenkin autoillessa eniten käytössä koska niihin saa britax turvakaukalon kiinni. Näppärää, mutta edelleen se lumi: meillä siis Britax b-agilen matkarattaat ja noilla renkailla ei kyllä yhtään huvita tarpoa eteenpäin lumessa. Keskimmäistä varten niissä on seisomalauta, joka olikin kesällä käytössä mutta jotenkin nyt säiden kylmettyä 3v tahtoo istuimen. Mountain buggy duet tarjouksessa 499,90€ Sen takia olen taas pohtinut tuplaratasasiaa suuntaan ja toiseen, ja melkein jo päädyin ostamaan käytetyt Mountain buggy duet v3 Sisarusrattaat hintaan 350€.
