Yesterday this story was not funny, but now looking back this was hysterical to me. I love my husband he is the greatest. He is the biggest sweetheart ever and he makes me laugh so much. Well this past week I went to Babies R Us and was checking out the car seat travel systems and I found one on sale! So I figured I would bring Josh there this past Saturday so that we could finally buy the car seat.
Well, I brought him to Babies R Us. It was his first time there and it was as overwhelming as it was to me. I showed him the stroller and car seat and Josh wanted to take it off the shelf and play around it with it. So we are playing with it and he collapses the stroller. Then he tries to put it back up. And no luck. Two store employees come over and they can't do it either. Literally, it took ten minutes to put it back up. So then we take out another one and Josh collapses that one too. And again can't get it back up. But this time no one came to help. He kept playing with it and shaking it and trying to pull it really hard apart. It was so frustrating at the time watching him. I asked to try and he told me to "go look around." Such a guy. Then after like an hour (ok 10 minutes) he finally sees a little latch and yay it works!!
We end up buying the car seat and travel system (we got an awesome deal $70 off)!! So we get it out to Josh's car and we try to get it in the back seat and it wouldn't fit through the door so we tried the truck and no luck. So Josh decides to take the whole thing apart and put pieces in the car and in the trunk. And again we are totally frustrated. I went to put the cart back and I am walking back to the car and he is struggling with the box trying to collapse it to get in to the car. I am giggling as I watch this but he is pretty ticked off at this point. We get it all in and get in the car to leave.
Now maybe this isn't funny to anyone else but watching him struggle with that box and struggle with the stroller has been making me laugh all day. The best part is we didn't argue even after being so frustrated. He is so cute and I love that he came with me to Babies R Us and I love that he wanted to see how the strollers worked and I love that he got every piece of the one we bought in the car. But seriously, I can't stop laughing today picturing everything that happened!
Your blog made me laugh!!
ReplyDeleteStrollers are the most frustrating thing! I used my sister's once when I was watching her daughter. I didn't have any problems unfolding it but when it came time to fold it back up and put in the my car again I couldn't figure it out. I tried and tried and tried. I finally had to call my sister on a pay phone (no cell phone at the time) to have her instruct me on how to do it. And let me tell you-once she told me it was so easy I was even more angry with the dumb stroller!!
So frustrating!!! I still have a hard time getting it into my car, wish I would have bought the stroller frame, it is just a frame that holds the car seat, has small wheels and isnt very heavy.. I found out about this long after I had struggled with the huge stroller.. I love the car seat stroller combo, but they are the devil! haha Makes me laugh, when me and Mike went to babys r us, he had to go outside for a few minutes he got so overwhelmed! Soo cute. :)
