OK, today I'm going to feature two of my favorite baby items right now...
Mountain Buggy Urban Double Stroller
I was really wanting to start running again which I haven't in a few years but what was I going to do with the kids... I'm a huge babywearer and enjoy going for walks with them but it's not safe to run and babywear at the same time. What to do... I searched high and low for a jogging stroller that would suit my needs. I wanted a side by side that was all-terrain for the Arboretum but narrow enough to fit through doors. I wanted something that would be easy to push since I knew it was going to be hard enough starting to run again after so many years. I had narrowed it down to two strollers and in the end it came down to price but I have to say that I'm so happy with the one I ended up with. It's been so great to run again and I love taking my kids along with me for the ride.
Mommy's Touch One Size Pockets w/ Snaps
I've tried many different styles of cloth diapers from prefolds with covers to all-in-ones. I found though that my favorite are pocket style diapers. It's like a cover with a pocket to fill with absorbing inserts. When I figured that out I tried several different brands too. The ones that seem to work best for my children are the Mommy's Touch brand and I LOVE all the many colors. Of all that I've tried this is the only diaper I haven't had any leaks with and they clean up really nice. I've also tried both velcro and snaps and I find that I get a better fit with the snaps. The other issue I have with velcro is that Isaac figured out how to remove his diaper pretty quickly, lol. They really aren't that much more care than with disposables and I love that I'm not filling up the landfills. I do a load of laundry every day so I'm finding that I'm washing the diapers every 2-3 days so I don't have to buy so many diapers and I don't have any problem with smell that way either. I love how gentle they are on my baby's bottom w/ no chemicals like you have in disposables... I could go on and on about the benefits of cloth diapering... I started cloth diapering when Moriah was potty learning and it was also a trial to see how much I liked it. I was pregnant with Isaac at the time so I got mostly gender neutral colors... other than the one Hello Kitty diaper... so, now I'm able to use them with Isaac. Because they are one size diapers I just snap them up to fit from newborn to potty learning.
(sorry no pictures... the diaper is usually covered up with shorts or onesie to keep Isaac from taking them off, lol)

I wish I was a jogger. Good for you!
I always thought the MB was not a jogging strolling anyway, but an all-terrain stroller which could tip if you run with it. It probably doesn't make much of a difference if you're not running fast though.
LOL, I'm pretty sure I walk faster than I run, but wanted to let you know that there are 4 tires on the MB double, two up front and two in back... pretty impossible to tip, that would be some pretty wild running, lol.
