The Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller (in the most playfull, bold red and chocolate brown colors, a.k.a.: The Bombay Pattern!)

March 11, 2009 0 Comments
As a mom of two boys (Beckham is 3 and Holden is 6 months.) a necessity of mine was to have a decent stroller with all the bells and whistles that made my life easier. I know, I know, I should have gone with "inexpensive" or "weighs a mere 17 pounds", but being that it's our first major stroller purchase, and it was Tax Return time, I went for the best. Top of the line. None other than Graco. We decided on the Graco Quattro Tour Duo. It is the smoothest riding stroller we tried out. Beautiful, bold colors. I loved the red. Instantly fell in love with the red/chocolate brown colors. There are so many things about the stroller that I love, I could type forever! Let me just share with you a basic break-down of my favorite features:

• Easy to unfold/fold
• Comfortable, cushy looking seats for my boys
• Smooth rolling wheels
• Easy to assemble (it took me no more than a half hour to have the whole thing put together, in the babies r us store at that!)
• Large storage basket. We currently bring with us on our stroller-using-trips: 1 large orange backpack. One rusty-colored mama's purse. One black good sized camera bag that has my Nikon in it.
• Good-sized storage pouch, cup holders, and tray. Perfect for all the random things we have with us: pacifier (Holden's), Blistex (mine), keys to the car, the iPod, Hubby's phone, my phone, sunglasses (usually dads, occasionally mine), various trucks or cars (Beckham's), drink (sometimes all three of us have one), bottle (Dad's Holden's).



So... in a nutshell, I love my stroller. My boys love their stroller. Even my hubby loves our stroller. The only downfall that I have, the ONLY negative thing I have is the fact that it's heavy. 45 pounds heavy. That's about 20 pounds too heavy for my 5' 2", 80 pound frame. :)

Haute Mamma!

Have you ever been at the park, clicked with a woman who's children happen to be newly-made best friends with your child(ren) and wanted to exchange information? Then you also, have probably dug through half-eaten tootsie rolls, 2 diapers, a pacifier, 3 toy cars, a snot-covered baby wipe and 1 chewed piece of gum in your disorganized purse-gone-diaper-bag only to come up with a Kiddie Kandids coupon and a dead pen. Well, never again will that happen to you! Once you own a set of the cutest, funky and totally fabulous mommy calling cards from hautemammas.com. Made of high-quality cardstock (with rounded corners too!) these cards are sure to impress.

Tiffany at Haute Mammas sent me a package full of all sorts of fabulous goodies to try out. There are SO many products available from Haute Mammas, you're bound to fall in love with even just one of the items on the site. I fell in love with nearly everything! They're completely customizable, so they're YOUR creation. Can I just tell you I cannot WAIT until 2011! Why, you ask? Well, that's when my son, Beckham will be in Kindergarten. I'll be able to send him to school with the cutest, "hautest", absolutely unique permission slips! Can't wait! The gift labels are so fun too, that your gift at the next party you attend will stand out among the rest of those boring "Happy Birthday!" cards!

Whether it's a Thank You card you're looking for, or some truly special and oh-so-unique address labels, Haute Mammas is the place to go!
