pushchairs



buggies used to be so simple! see that one above, circa 1977? i look quite confident pushing my little sis around!

my friend cath and i went to go for a walk on the beach yesterday, with m in tow. c was picking me up in her car, so instead of the pram i was bringing the carseat-buggy combo. as my husband had the buggy i usually use, a quite old but lightweight model, in the car with him, i got the other one, slightly newer but heavier, (another 'present' not put to use yet) collapsed as it was, and put it into c's boot. in skerries we parked and then proceeded to uncollapse the buggy! how embarassing! two grown women fighting with a piece of equipment on the sidewalk! for at least 15 minutes we were pushing all the buttons, unhooking clasps, pulling, pushing, kicking... to no avail! looking at each other in disbelief, at not being able to unfold a pushchair! in the end we packed it into the boot again, and went for a hot chocolate, carrying the baby in the carseat...

of course it took my husband all of 2 minutes to get the hang of it at home, all that was needed was a little pull and shake! like an umbrella! and i usually pride myself on not being intimidated by any piece of technology! i've heard of pregnancy brain, but is there a condition called breastfeeding brain??

God, yes, there's breasfeeding brain.

IT doesn't get better for a long time.

My friend made me laugh by saying sh was spring cleaning, because it wasn't til she stopped breastfeeding that she noticed the cobwebs in the house :)

I'm better with the buggy than my husband though, I have to say. He usually just carries the babies, but himself is gettting a bit big for that now!

I agree with you.That there is a condition called breastfeeding brain during this condition mother care a lot about baby and their accessories,you were worried about unfolding of push chair.Icoo Pushchairs is very to fold and unfold and very easy to handle.
