stroller & baby sling

(ekceli aritu nak leave comment kat entry ayu - stroller talk, tapi mcm terpanjangg la pulak, so better buat entry je kan instead of nak komen berjela2 kat comment box org ;p)

bagus jugak la dia buat survey psl stroller before deliver. in my case, saya tak sempat. (ceh, boleh ke alasan camni? haha) ok abaikan, tapi mmg saya tak survey sgt pasal stroller coz i tot boleh beli kendian2 kan.

sudahnya, athirah dah 8months++ baru pi beli ;p

ok ni just nak share my experience using stroller(s) & baby sling.

from newborn to 3months old we seldomly brought her for outing, sbb rasa dia mcm fragile lagi kan, takut senang sakit if pegi to crowded places. then kecoh2 H1N1 pulak, lagi la jarang bawak keluar.
then when she was 3-5months gitu i used to babywear her using babyslings (oh i heart babywearing) but then i hv to stop sbb sakit belakang since jatuh tangga aritu huhu:(

speaking of bbwearing, like it or not, u'll easily get attention from others ;p ada yg terjenguk2 nak intai baby , ada yg pelikpandang2.. besides, u can easily make friends with other babywearing mothers, sbb slalunya kita akan tegur each other when see them babywearing too - like on the position you carry your baby, the sling's brand, or anything related. or at least, "eh, cantik la sling you" hihihi



(ok back to the topic ;P)
so lepas2 tu kitorng dukung je athirah kalau pegi mall etc. ok je coz dia pon tak byk ragam (boleh membina muscles dan membakar kalori juga ;p). in a way, bagus jugak kan sbb takde la nak dok round2 lama2 kat shopping malls which is not good to hubby's pocket
my SIL lent us a stroller but i found it quite bulky, susah nak turun naik sana sini dalam mall. the wheels pon mcm tak brapa smooth, kdg2 terlanggar or tersangkut sana sini ;p

but later then we realized that athirah had gained some kgs (mestilah kan) & impossible la kitorng nak dukung dia forever ;p so pakai jugak la stroller tu. tapi dia mcm tak comfortable dlm tu. its either she tried to panjat keluar, or cried out loud. end up, stroller tu jadi shopping trolley je la, letak brg2 shopping ;p

then satu hari ni masa kat JJ, i saw this 1 chinese man carrying a folded stroller, galas kat bahu je. terus la terkagum skejap sbb tak penah tgk kan (yea jakun i know ;p ini adalah kerana tidak membuat survey earlier ;p) he was carrying a volo maclaren stroller. thennnnn only i knew kenapa la org suka pakai maclaren strollers. ingatkan sbb the brand semata2 ke kan..

tau2 aje few days after that we bought a quest sport hihi. *tq daddy*
volo can't be reclined. as for newborns, i think techno xlr would be great. athirah pon dah 8months++ that time so quest sport pon dah cukup. mula2 plan nak beli triumph je tapi sbb ada lessss byk so amik je la quest :)
i'm soooo in love with it sbb:
-lightweight (sukaaa)
-space efficienttt! (lagi sukaaa)
-compact umbrella fold, + carry strap
-easy to handle
*tapi dia takde two way handling. utk newborn mbbe tak sesuai kot.

mula2 risau jugak ok ke takde bar/handle kat depan tu (ada harness je). tapi dah brapa kali pakai i think athirah lovessss it too! elok je dia dok menyandar dlm tu, selalunya siap tertido lg :) so far tak penah aa dia merengek2 mintak dukung kuar from the stroller.

enjoying her evening ride :)

*note: i'm not saying THIS IS the best stroller ye, just nak share knapa saya suka stroller ni, kot2 ada yg interested jugak :) and oh, i know 1 shop that offers cash& carry price wayyy cheaper than normal market price (for maclaren strollers) hehe.. kalau berminat lemme know ya


on the other note, rasa mcm nak babywearing balik. maybe nak try hip carry or tummy-to-tummy mcm ni:
