Jane Rider Stroller Review

My first attempt at exercising after baby was going on afternoon walks with the stroller while Baby Tuesday napped.  Even now, when I'm pushing around a far less sleepy baby, I think back to the early days with some nostalgia.

The first few months, I was clipping the car seat into a very heavy stroller that I will probably review later.  Even as the baby got bigger, I didn't want to eliminate the extra weight of the car seat because otherwise, he'd have to face forward, and I was (and still kind of) not ready for that.

Enter the Jane Rider.

For full disclosure, I am a Jane Brand Ambassador, so I was sent one of these guys to try out.  I really love this stroller because it's light and can face in or out (with adjustable inclines for each mode).  It is made out of quality materials without extra flame retardant chemicals, and I can imagine it lasting through multiple babies if I ever get over the trauma and go that route.  Plus, it folds easily and is shock-absorbing, which is very important for stroller naps!

A rainy stroll.
Mine came with a rain cover -- super useful! -- and a diaper bag, which is currently being used as a laptop bag because our diaper bag is packed for the apocalypse and would not transfer.  It also comes with a bassinet attachment for naps and smaller babies.  We also have an adapter that we can use to put the carseat in the stroller for the few times we do need to do a non-disruptive transfer.  I definitely default to this stroller whenever possible, because it folds up nicely, even in the house.



The Jane Rider retails for $750 (the older models are a couple of hundred bucks cheaper if you can find them), so yes, it's on the higher end of the spectrum.  Thinking back, our lug of a stroller before was over half the price, and I can already tell it isn't built to last like this one is.  As a European company, they are building their U.S. presence, and their products are starting to appear in places like Buy Buy Baby and Babies R Us.

  2. Most oldsters assume that purchasing the proper stroller for his or her child may be a comparatively straightforward task, whereas actually it's not. If you're thinking that will just exit and get a bestbabystrollerses.com, you've another factor coming back. whereas you much will exit and get one, it would not specifically justify the quantity of cash that you simply get hold of it.

  3. Similar to we said on the outset, so long as you are evaluating baby strollers with your child's security as your most important priority you won't definitely have the inappropriate choice. http://tbreviews.com/top-10-best-umbrella-stroller-reviews-and-buying-guide/

Original Post: 3/10/11 Sunday, March 20 2011, the day I will run LA Marathon for the 4th time (and embark on my 8th 26.2 journey overall), will also be very special because it will mark the 5th year since I did my FIRST training run with the intention of running a marathon.  (Check out that life-changing post HERE ). Yep, on March 20, 2006, I went to the track and ran my first 3.25 miles with the dreams of marathon glory (or even half-marathon glory). I think it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.  I was a sprint/track

StyleScience Airfoil Sunglasses

Much too long after the death of my last pair of sunglasses, I managed to get my hands on another pair. This one comes from CVS/pharmacy. I figured that since a more expensive pair blew out on me, why not a drugstore one? So after going to speciality stores, I came upon this one that looks and feels good... StyleScience's Airfoil. I didn't notice until later that this is meant for men, but my large head circumference called for it, I think. Anyway, I like that the sides have some ventilation (via a large triangular hole). I hope not to break this one...

Sharkies Prize Pack (giveaway)

It's giveaway time! On a long run recently, I took a couple packs of Sharkies Organic Sports Chews  with me to keep me going on a hot day.  I got through those 15 miles  eating these, versus normal gels.  I've been opting to eat chews over gels in my running nowadays because I just find them more palatable and easier on my stomach for some reason.  Plus, they do pack a few more calories, which is a good thing in this case. I normally associate cute little chews with candy, but these actually contain natural electrolytes.  Plus, they were light to carry and very tasty, too!  Each pack is about 140 calories.  The only downside I found to the sport chews is that they stuck to my teeth a tiny bit more than my normal choices, and the packaging gave me a fight at times.  This could easily be solved by conslidating them into a baggie pre-run, or eating them BEFORE running would be much easier than during. Want to win the prize pack below?  It comes with these Sport Chews, a neat
