Plus...it's only 10 dollars so if someonelse walks off with it...eh, no big deal.

Why have two full-time daycare bills if you can avoid it? The stroller thing is just an added benefit.

I can't imagine any woman - working or not - wanting the 'frazzle' that goes with having two or more babies/toddlers. Heaven help 'em!

We push our personal tandem double, and rent a side by side double park stroller. I don't know WHAT I will do when the next baby arrives in May!!!
