Meet Mac

I'd like you to meet Mac, Maclaren that is.

You know me, I LOVE a good bargain! I have desperately been wanting a new double umbrella stroller. I was so sick of hauling around a heavy single stroller and an even heavier double stroller.  Everytime I put Luke in a stroller, Mya decided she wanted to ride too.  My Double Sit and Stand was borrowed from a neighbor.  And although great in theory, it was so horribly bulky and heavy. I dreaded unloading and loading it.  It was sure to be a great workout each time it was put to use. 

So, I was on a mission to find a new umbrella stroller. Most umbrella strollers are made for those vertically challenged.  Obviously, Matt and I don't fall into that category. After doing some research, I found that the Maclaren seemed to be the best fit for our tall family.  The problem was the retail price of the Twin Triumph Maclaren was approximately $300! WHOA! That was definitely not in our budget! I kept my eye out on Craigslist but no luck.  Finally, as I was dropping some clothes off at a local children's consignment store, guess what was staring right at me!?!?! The Twin Triumph Maclaren stroller!!!  I passed it buy for some dumb reason and finally came to my senses once I was back home! I quickly returned and bought the beauty! It is in near perfect condition and is perfect for my babes! Even better... it only cost me $80! PERFECT!
