SIT & STROLL BY LILLY GOLD

I'm sure you remember how I raved about the Orbit G2 stroller and I'm still in love with it. (I'm actually about to buy the 'Next Step' system now that my little one is not so little.) Anyways, I bought the Lilly Gold 5-in-1 stroller because it was recommended by my mother-in-law (she used it with all 5 of her children) for traveling purposes; this is a FAA-certified stroller which means that airlines will allow it onto their planes!

Let me tell you, this stroller is so versatile and I LOVE it! It has a wide seat and neck support pillow attachment so baby is comfortable even on long trips. The wheels tuck into the bottom of the seat and release with the simple pull of a lever. The steering handles slide into and out of the top of the stroller just as easy as the wheels do. The picture below was taken off the Lilly Gold website and shows how the stroller/car seat can be used.

Now that my household has two strollers, one stroller is in my husband's car and one is in my SUV. The Lilly Gold stroller is an excellent purchase (it will run you back about $350) if you plan on traveling with your little one or just enjoy the simplicity of all-in-one type products. 

Happy Strolling! 

THE ORBIT G2 STROLLER IN ALL ITS GLORY

While I was pregnant, I became a frequenter of baby blogs and a loyal reader of parenting magazines. After seeing the Orbit G2 stroller on nearly every 'Must Haves' list of 2012, I decided "Well, I MUST have it!" Let me tell you, this stroller is amazing! The idea that you can rotate the car/stroller seat any way you'd like to suit your situation is a luxury that I, now, could not do without.

I took RJ on a 3 hour drive without my husband (yikes!) and when RJ woke up and started crying, I thought I was in over my head. Luckily, with the Orbit G2 car seat, I was able to turn him around to face me every time I was stopped by a red light. The fact that he could see my face was enough to calm him down until he fell back asleep & I never had to get out of the drivers seat! This is just one of the many stories I have that give praise to this car seat. The stroller frame is a little wide on the back end (I have hit, many, a corner and table leg) but that is a small price to pay in exchange for all the perks, in my opinion.

You can buy this stroller from the actual company here and at pamperedtot.com here There are also plenty of store vendors that are listed on the Orbit Baby website. F.Y.I Pampered Tot is an AMAZING website. The customer service is awesome; their team replies to emails quickly, if you offer a phone number, they will call -- it's not some automated machine you will deal with. I highly recommend them if you're a parent that likes to shop online for your little munchkin.
