SANTA BABY: Kolcraft Stroller

Hello, my name is Cassidy and I have an addiction.

While it is NOT harmful to my health,
it is harmful on the wallet.
What is my addiction?

I am addicted to strollers.

I now have three... and my mother has one. :)
Mind you, they all have their purposes. My Joovy Kooper is lightweight for quick trips or small packing space. My Safety 1st travel system was great when CBug was a newborn... but now too bulky for everyday use. The newest one, Kolcraft's Contours® Options® 3 Wheeler, is my favorite

.

Caden has gotten to the size where he looks just plain silly in his travel system carseat attached to his stroller, but Mommy isn't ready to not be able to see him at all times :) I hated the thought of putting him in a forward facing stroller, but all the strollers that switch to face the handle are SOOO expensive. I couldn't afford to spend $500+ on one stroller.

Then I found the Kolcraft Contours® Options® 3 Wheeler. It was love at first site. It's seat switches to face me while I push him, it's not difficult to operate, and is definitely affordable! It even comes with an attachment for baby carriers! I wish that I had found this stroller BEFORE I got my travel system. It is beyond perfect.

(The handle height is great for both me (at 5'3) and my 6'0 husband!!)
(PS that's Marina from The Mommy Homemaker in the background! She's my IRL BFF!)

One thing that suprised me is how little this three wheeled stroller folds up compared to my travel system 3 wheeled stroller! One of the reasons that I traded in my VW Bug was that I had to put the stroller in the backseat with Caden, losing all my passenger room. I wish I had my Bug now to see if it would pass the test. The Kolcraft Contours® Options® 3 Wheeler almost folds up into a square. It's not long like most strollers. I can even fit the Joovy Kooper in my truck with the Kolcraft!

(lol, Caden's Monster costume filled out the bar!)
