When we had Noah, husband just HAD to have a jogging stroller. We used it quite a bit and have really enjoyed it, but man is it big! It's heavy (which was one of my arguments against it....and that I'm not in any way, shape or form a runner!) and takes up a ton of room both in storage as well as in the trunk. In fact, to get it to fit in the trunk of our car we have to remove the wheels which is a pain. So now that we have baby #2 on the way, I told hubby that we needed a lightweight alternative to the jogger. As I always do, I researched all of the available umbrella style strollers in our price range and weighed out the pros and cons for months before finally making a decision. I had some credit built up to Walmart from their "Savings Catcher" on all of our receipts (which if you don't know what that is and you shop at Walmart, you need to ask me about it NOW cause you're missing out!!) and that helped sway our decision towards the Urbini Reversi stroller at Walmart. It didn't have a ton of reviews yet, but I decided to go ahead and give them a try. We love the stroller and I'm so glad we got it! It's got so many fun features and was a great price, even if we didn't have credit to use towards it. I did a video review on it today that I'm posting through YouTube, so if you're curious about it, go check it out here -----> https://youtu.be/a_sdVCOpEl0
One of the downfalls to this particular stroller is that it doesn't really have any space underneath for a diaper bag. The jogger in comparison has a huge compartment, so it's been a slight adjustment. However, I was given the chance to review a #AngelBabyStrollerOrganizerDiaperBag and it has easily solved our lack of storage space issues! While I also did a video review about this diaper bag, I wanted to quickly review some of the great features of it here too.
Angel Baby Stroller Organizer Diaper Bag:
Pros:
- easily attaches to all strollers, whether you have two handles (umbrella stroller) or a bar across (jogging stroller)
- the velcro that attaches it to the handles is wide enough to give a secure grip, so you don't have to worry about it randomly detaching and falling to the ground
- has an external wipe pouch for quick and easy access
- has a zippered pouch that easily holds 2 flat diapers (size 4 is what I've tested it with), or even more of a smaller size and rolled up
- has two insulated drink holders to keep your beverages/bottles cold or warm
- has an inner pouch that can hold snacks, keys, phone, wallet, etc and has a flap that folds over the top to hide the contents from plain sight
- has two small mesh pockets that holds pens, snacks, keys, etc
- has a shoulder strap that attaches near where the velcro is, making it easy to remove the diaper bag and carry it on your shoulder for diaper changes, keeping the diaper bag when you leave the stroller in the car, etc.
Cons:
- the insulated drink pocket is just slightly too deep to easily retrieve a standard size sippy cup
- the mesh pockets could be slightly bigger which would make them more useful
Obviously, the pros faaaaar outweigh the cons with this handy, conveniently sized diaper bag. It can't hold toys, changes of clothes, burp cloths, diaper ointment, the kitchen sink, etc like a regular diaper bag can, but it's actually a really nice change. Especially as Noah has gotten older, our need for a full sized diaper bag has decreased significantly. This can carry everything we'd need for a trip to the zoo without issue. When baby #2 comes along and we need to constantly carry more things with us, the compartment under our umbrella stroller could hold all the "just in case" items that we wouldn't need easy access to and then keep the essentials within easy reach in this diaper bag. It's really an awesome addition to our "child item collection" that seems to never stop growing.
