Peg Perego Skate

Dylan officially has a new stroller & car seat! Mark & I drove to Newport Beach this afternoon to get our hands on this good deal. The stroller is in the 'Black Bubbles' print & is in mint condition; it came with the Peg Perego Viaggio SIP 30/30 infant car seat & base (in orange) & the sellers gave us extras such as a rain cover, car mirrors, bag holder, and car seat adapters for the stroller. She had a really amazing deal on the stroller & car seat that I couldn't turn it down. I don't care if it's used just as long as I know they're in perfect condition & they've never been damaged or involved in a car accident (which I trust since the seller 'told' me). They have such a beautiful home in Newport; sheesh, makes me wanna hustle even harder. And seeing that beautiful maroon Range Rover in their driveway--AHHH! lol. That's the car I've always wanted. But whatever, back about the stroller. It's in really awesome condition & I love all the features about it. I researched on it before so I know most of what it can do, and I've even watched YouTube videos on how to put it together & what buttons are for what, etc. Mark was pretty amazed (since he never listens to me when I tried to show him the features online). Once we brought it back home, we tried to show Mark's mom & the rest of the family how the stroller works & what not. We were confused the entire time trying to figure out what button releases so & so...we were going a little crazy, and the instructions manual wasn't much help because it's all in pictures & in Italian. But we finally figured things out. Later on during the day, I decided to take pictures & I got a hang of what to do with it so I got it now. It seemed pretty complicated when we were watching the sellers show us what to do, but it all made sense to me once I tried it out myself.

I absolutely love the features of this stroller. When I first "drove" it at USA Baby, I was in awe. It runs so smoothly! It can change from bassinet to stroller seat just by releasing a couple straps. There's no need to take it out & change it with another like the Bugaboo Frog would. I love the 3 different ways of reclining (up, half-way back, flat), and the different height adjustments (either lower or closer up to me). It's perfect because we could even use it as a high chair at restaurants because Dylan will be sitting at the right height. The bassinet/seat can also be placed facing forward to back towards me. The handles are also adjustable, and if Mark is pushing the stroller, he can make the handles longer so it works with his height (and shorter for me, of course). When Dylan's a newborn, we'll be using the car seat for a while, and I love how that works. We just take out the bassinet part, put in the car seat adapters to the stroller & click the car seat in. Amazing! The bar in front of the seat is also removeable so we can easily put Dylan in the seat or take him out. There's also a lot of room underneath for any bags that I want to place there; there's a little netted basket to hold it all together. And one thing I didn't even know was that there was an air pump for the tires located underneath the stroller. So handy. Only downside: pretty heavy (even the car seat). Mark was like, "Wow! It's so light!" And I said, "Oh no Babe, if only you knew. This stroller is actually considered heavier than others." But seriously, I love this darn stroller! Everyone in the house loves it too. Baby Dylan is one lucky baby (: So many many thanks to Mark's momma for getting it for us (well, technically for Dylan). I can't wait to use this stroller to go on walks at the park or beach (or mall) with my lil man :D

I know there are a bunch of pictures, but I wanted to keep memories! "The day we bought Dylan's first stroller!" (:
