For example when loading up to go or leave some place. There is a whole routine --or circus act--in trying to get shoes on everyone...heck some days just basic clothes are a battle.
Last week, picking CJ up from school, I went through my mental check list.
Glance around the van, correct number of kids accounted for? CHECK
Are said kids strapped down? CHECK
Purse, diaper bag, backpacks etc? CHECK
Keys? CHECK
Start van and pull out.....wait was that a CURB CHECK? I didn't think I parked that close to the curb. Slowly pull ahead and check rear view mirror.....oops that was a STROLLER CHECK.
While it was still standing...it is not usable. Poor thing has a stretched out malformed leg. The very next day I missed it. I have another stroller, okay I have 2 more strollers and a wagon. But this one was wonderful. It folded up small, light weight, fit through doors, and easy to manage in a crowd. Oh well, I was thanking my lucky stars that I had done the kid check first and that the stroller was empty!

If I didn't have a back up camera that beeps if I get close to ANYTHING...I would be right there with ya!!! Bobbie
I don't think the back up camera would have helped in this situation...1. I wasn't backing up, I was going forward, 2. the stroller was next to the side door. but I do think the beeps of warning you get are nice, I just don't have that.
haha, I have hit the garbage can a few times....and the potty breaks...now those are fun. I ended up buying an extra potty chair that sits in the van. We have used it so many times. And sometimes we have found that it is easier to have them pee in the van than to get out and truck everyone into a nasty public restroom....we all have our own little sanity keepers and mine is a frog potty in the back :)
