my weekends nowadays consist of running around doing errands related to baby. i've been clearing up our condo to make room for him. so that involves moving furniture around and planning for additional shelves, etc. i also have to look into the stuff we need to get in preparation for baby AND making a budget! on top of all these, i have our usual errands to run, eg, banks, grocery shopping (i have started cooking again!), etc.
the weekend before last, i saw an advertisement promoting strollers at 80% off. so off we trudged to the sale. before we went to this sale, i had already eyed a deal on a quinny zapp travel system (an infant car seat and a stroller). it was being offered at RM1,700. so when we were at the sale, i headed straight to this set to check it out. after going through my list of requirements, even though this set did not meet a few of my requirements, i was all set on it as we are only going to be using it in malls and hence it did not need to be extremely solid, etc. as we were making our way to the checkout counter, i spotted the quinny buzz travel system (this is obviously more stylo and more canggih). i was just looking (with no intentions of purchasing it at all) when b asked me to try it out. so i got the salesgirl to give us a demo. (point to note: the quinny buzz travel system satisfied everything on my list). the moment the salesgirl showed us the pneumatic system whereby the stroller frame pops up by itself, i knew b was a goner. you could literally see his face go "wow, that's so cool!". i was like "oh-oh, here we go.................."
so needless to say, we bought the quinny buzz travel system at RM3000!!!!!!! when we reached home, i asked b if he realised that we spent and additional RM1300 just because he wanted to look cool, his reply - "i'll start jogging with baby in the stroller and baby will not be allowed to walk around because he will be in his stroller all the time". ie, he's going to get his money's worth out of it. (personally, i doubt the jogging bit!)
as the stroller is the only "gadgetry, machinery" baby item, b has left all the other baby items up to me. he wants no part in it. sigh............men and their gadgets.
