Pristine will be turning 5 at the end of this year. She’s no longer a baby and can perfectly walk by herself but I think we might need a stroller for our travel soon. Why I’m making a big fuss about this? 

We have never bought a stroller before. The day she learned to walk, there was no way we could strap her in a stroller/buggy or even in the shopping cart. She loves to walk and we’re happy we were able to save on a stroller.

In short, Mr. Stroller and I are not acquainted. I didn’t even know these thing is so expensive until I went yesterday to check it out!

We’ll be travelling next month, me and my daughter only and I am worried I won’t be able to survive carrying her around the huge airport when she sleeps. She loves to walk, alright, but when she sleeps, I have no other choice but to carry all 16 kilos of her - along with our baggages (I plan to travel really light, even if it means I’ll buy additional clothes in our destination!). I entertained the idea of a simple buggy so she can sit and we can breeze around without me breaking my back.

I went to see strollers in the store yesterday and amazed at my ignorance! I don’t even know how to fold it, which levers to move, to lock, etc. The smiling sales person asked me politely, “first baby, madame?”. If she only know that the “baby” is already almost 5!!
