This week started off with Kyle and I purchasing our very first twin purchase! How exciting. The previous week we had gone into Babies R Us to add to our registry and saw different things good for twinnies like a double stroller. Boy were those expensive. The one we ended up really liking was $300 brand new. It isn't a side by side stroller...it is one where one baby sits in front of the other. I like it better since they can easily fit through doors.
Then we found the infant car seats that easily snap into the stroller. Those cost about $189 each. Sheesh. I already felt money flying out of my pocket. Three things for babies and I'm already out almost $700.
Due to the high cost of all these items, we started looking for some gently used ones on Craigslist. Lets face it...babies don't care about new or used. Most people don't use newborn items for extended periods of time, either. So, after searching in the San Diego area for something, I luckily found the exact items we had just looked at in Babies R Us and liked! The lady was selling all 3 items as a set for a total of $300. I couldn't believe it! The car seats didn't match the stroller in color...but who really cares? We went and checked the items out and they looked almost brand new. Score! We went ahead and bought them. So now my car already has infant car seats in the backseat. Its an interesting sight for sure.
That couple we bought them from was incredibly nice and she said she'd email me if she had anything else she wanted to sell or get rid of. Its nice to have found someone out here who is willing to contact me with that sort of stuff. With the need to buy double of many things.. finding somethings gently used and cheaper is a definite plus. Those twinnies are going to buy us out of our home!
If any if you would like to donate or assist in the Twin naugle fund.. we don't discriminate ;-).
