To the one like martemom, sorry I couldn't phone you, as the title implies, we had NO phone covereage, save for spotty coverage near the highest point in town, which was just enough to get voicemail ( Read more... )

OK, well if it's all rusty and faded then um.... I'm not positive but definitely still interested. Does it have the stroller attachment so I can walk with it?

We got a huge (but the most fuel efficient in it's class) SUV so the size part doesn't matter. the wheels making noise? can that be fixed? Ignored?

We will be at the parade tomorrow. Maybe if you're not busy we can swing by afterwards or something. I did return the one from Target, but if yours is too crusty, I will just re-buy it. ;) *crossing my fingers that it's not*

My main use for it will be pushing the girls down the bikepath in my rollerblades, as I don't have a useable bike right now. Thank you SOOOOO much for thinking of me!

hahaha, I guess I made it sound _too_ bad. It's not rusty, and it is possible the stroller wheels could be made quieter, but we never tried. our main complaint is it is overkill size-wise for just Scout, but again, I think the best thing will be for you to see it, and possibly load the kids in it and take it for a spin. It has the stroller attachment, and despite what you heard from someone else about ones w/o the attachment, as far as I know it was a standard feature. In fact, we never take the stroller bar off, as it functions fine as a trailer with it in place.

Now that I think about it, I remember priceing them online and seeing people who sold it sans stoller attachment, but I think they were shady types actually removing the stoller part from the box, as the manufacturer only sold it one way, and I had confirmed that by calling them.

haha this would be easier on IM....

It sounds good to me. I saw the same one you have with the stroller attachment on it. maybe the trailers I saw online sans stroller were Burley or something. You might like the Schwinn one I got at Target. It folds really nicely & easily and it's pretty nice. It doesn't have mesh windows on the sides, only in the front and back. The compartment is small though and I didn't like that the girls had to sit pretty much with their legs out straight. I believe that yours has actual seats so their legs have a place to go besides out straight, right?

My friend has one she got at Target a couple years ago on clearance for $50.... if only I could be that lucky to find deals like that!

oh anyway, the bigness of it is what I want because otherwise the girls will kill each other smooshed in there together. I will come over tomorrow if that's cool with you. I am a really impatient person and waiting these past few days has been killing me! (my problem not yours). So if it's not too much of an imposition & or you really need some cash ASAP I will come by tomorrow.
