Our double is back and working again! We have been six weeks without it after one of the wheels burst while Jimmy was disassembling it to pack for the flight, only days before we left Lodi. The brand is from New Zealand, and for replacement parts you have to order them from the manufacturer, so we ordered the new wheel, which would have to come to CA, then be shipped on to us in Santiago. No time to get it before leaving town. Well when it arrived in Santiago we realized that it didn't have the axle needed to connect it to the stroller - not sure if that was our mistake or theirs, but we had to order that piece too. It arrived on Monday, and Tuesday morning we were finally able to use the double stroller!
Caleb has gotten used to walking much more this past month, and we can get our basic errands and outings done with minimal protesting, but now that we have the double, we can hopefully venture further, and at the very least get places like the grocery store and back faster. Today we went to the store and were able to get there in 9 minutes, compared to 15-20 minutes each way (depending on Caleb's mood and willingness to keep pace). A world of a difference, and better exercise for mom since I'm walking at a speed that will give me more of a workout! Its nice to let Caleb have a chance to relax while we are out, too.
