My mood while writing this blog: Ok

We got our new travel system in yesterday. My husband put it together, and we are very happy with it so far. We had originally looked at one at Babies R Us (BRU) because we needed a jogger and car seat system since we live in the country and will be wheeling over grass, slag, dirt, roots, and such. There are very few jogger strollers with car seats/carriers. The one at BRU costs $199.00, and it was hard to figure out and adjust and get the carrier/car seat off, but since there are so very few and since it was more affordable than the other rare ones, we figured we'd buy it anyway.

After my middle-of-the-night-crying-hook-up-on-e-bay spell, I found a jogger travel system on e-bay, brand new, for only $126.00, plus about $25.00 shipping, which was about $50 less than the system at BRU. The new one, an Acella system, looks better, is easier to adjust, and has two front center wheels as opposed to the one at BRU. My husband and I like this one a lot better. I recommend it so far. They have dozens of this system on e-bay, and we got it brand new at an affordable cost. Also, the seller is excellent in communicating with us and making delivery quick.
