Hey there... I know,I know.. I have been a bit of a slacker.. I have been so busy these last couple of days, trying to get back in to the swing of things before we started the whole school routine again. With regards to the stroller.. There is a foam padded bar that comes with the stroller, but we did not use it the entire time. If you choose to keep it attached, you have to pull kinda hard and it will come off. I thought it was more of a pain. My kids are 5 and 2, so they can get in and out pretty easily. If you had younger ones, it would definitely serve it 's purpose. It also came with a bug net, which we didn't use. For some reason, there weren't any bugs..Being from the south myself, we have tons and tons of bugs and mosquitos.. I know we have stated that it would only be polite to wash the stroller down before we handed off the stroller. I will take the blame for this one.. My kids were not allowed to eat or drink in the stroller, so we had no stains when our trip was over, however I washed the fabric down with soap and water, so that parith would have a brand spankin new stroller.. Well when I washed it down at night I didn't see any water marks left on it, well when I opened it up to roll it over to the bell service at the hotel, I noticed that there was a water mark. I called parith to let her know, and also see if she had any problems with them locating the stroller. She said it took them some time but they finally found it. By the way they don't ask for reservation numbers. Just make sure that you have the first and last name. So back to the water stain. I felt bad turning it in like that, but just know, it is simply a water mark. Parrith didn't seem to mind, as besides that it was in impecable shape. Maybe I am just strssing out over it for nothing..

Maybe she tried to re-wipe it down. Now for tip time... The stroller is a bit on the wide side..To make it easy to get into the gate, you will need to go in at an angle, and make sure 1 of the back wheels is in before you try to get the other wheel in. If you try to push the stroller right through, you won't have any luck.. The same applies to the hotel rooms.. That's my tip of the day.. We had an absolute blast using the stroller.. It pushed really well. Oh one more thing, if you don't have enough weight in the front, the front wheel will bounce all around.. There were times that I just had my 2 year old in it, and I thought there was a problem with the wheels, but once my 5 year old would sit in it , it would push like a caddillac!! I think that is pretty much it.. Let me know if you have any questions, I would be glad to answer any that you may have. Now to write a post trip blog.. By the way, we stayed at the CBR, and had an awesome time.. The room was great, and all the people were super friendly. Lots to do at the resort.. TA TA for now!!
