We finally broke down and bought a stroller, since Griff is a few ounces short of 20lbs now, and long walks with the mei tai were becoming not fun. We’ll probably reserve the stroller for walks and places like the zoo and whatnot; the mei tai is still working fine for the grocery store and other shopping trips, and will be fine until Griff is able to sit in a cart comfortably.

It’s a pretty inexpensive “Dream on Me” model, but it’s very nice so far. The ride is very smooth, the height is great, and I don’t kick the back of it while walking. It’s pretty lightweight as well; we wanted something more substantial than an umbrella stroller, but smaller than one of the giant “SUV” strollers. Griff fell asleep in it on our walk this morning, so it’s apparently comfy for him, too. 🙂
