Baby's 1st Schwinn

It’s hard to believe that I have a 9 month old on my hands. Thinking back a year ago I would of laughed if someone told me I would be a mom. My life is constantly changing. I find it hard to believe that my daughter doesn’t fit into 9-month clothes. It feels like just yesterday I was boxing up the 6 month old clothes and stocking her dresser with 9-month clothes. 

I’m discovering that my daughter’s favorite pass time is being outside in the jogging stroller. Whether we're out gardening or running it's a perfect addition for my active family. I find it fitting that our first major baby purchase was a jogging stroller. I had my eye on several, but the winner of my thorough investigation was the Schwinn Turismo Stroller.

The pros:

+ Baby Trend car seat was able to snap in.

+ Wheels are real thick tires.

+ The front wheel can swivel for walking and lock for running.

+ The jogging stroller has a spring suspension. (This really helps when sidewalks are cracked      and uneven. Especially with a newborn.)

+ The stroller’s frame is made of a lightweight aluminum frame for easy handling.

The cons:

- It is not compact when folded. (I would advise having a big trunk or backseat)

- Built-in MP3 speaker isn’t really loud. (Not a feature that was a must-have for me.)

- No strap to have for a break.

Overall the stroller is a winner. I know it’s not a BOB, but it’s a stroller that is easy on your pocket. I’m just starting back up with my jogging schedule. It was an adjustment to find time to workout with a baby while juggling work and breastfeeding. I’m finally getting a handle on it.

I’m excited for summer and many jogs with Izzy Mae to come.
