Taking a load off at the new Buy Buy Baby store in Oakville.
It’s been a little while since I’ve posted on the blog but there is very good reason for that. We had a baby! Benjamin Poschmann was born on December 20th weighing 9lbs 5oz and is doing great at just over two months old. It’s been a whirlwind these past couple of months and I wanted to tell you guys about a couple of the most important products we’ve been using with the little guy.
Before Ben arrived we had done a ton of research into strollers, carseats, bassinets etc. and repeatedly we were told that we HAD to get the UppaBaby Vista Stroller and Mesa Carseat. Our friends raved about them, my followers raved about them, everyone raved about these products so we knew we had to try them out.
We obviously went to Buy Buy Baby to pick out our new stroller because they have the best selection around. We decided on the Blue Melange Vista stroller because we liked the brown leather (this thing had leather grips!). For car seat we picked the Jordan colour of the Mesa as we felt it was super versatile.
Now let me tell you why everyone raves about Uppababy Strollers and carseats, easy of use! The stroller folds up by pulling up on two sections by the handle and unfolds just as easily. The car seat clips into the stroller on the two posts on either side and easily detaches by pricing the button on the top of the handle. This means that if Ben is sleeping we can take him in and out of the car without disturbing him at all, it’s amazing! I also found the car seat base super simple to install in Dara’s SUV. It has a clip on either side that attaches to the anchors in the back seat, once those are attached all you have to do is push down on the base to secure it and you’re done.
The Vista stroller comes with the Bassinet that Ben has been sleeping in (with the Bassinet base that is sold separately) since we brought him home in December. It also comes with a rumble seat that we’ll be able to utilize once he’s about 4 months or so. The nice part about the Vista is that if you have a second child you only have to buy an adaptor to fit both children on the same stroller! I would highly recommend both the Vista and Mesa as they’ve made travelling with Ben a breeze. I’d suggest you check out your closest Buy Buy Baby as the associates at the store are extremely knowledgeable and are more than happy to help you choose your new ride.
