There comes a time in child rearing where a family must let go of certain things. Things that wear out, break, or become obsolete due to new technology or the age of a child.
Our Combi double-stroller has become a casualty of time
This stroller got us through the first few years of our life as a family of five with two infant/toddlers.
It survived malls, beaches, the tourist trap that is Waikiki, restaurants, and New York City. Alas, though, a few months ago the death throes began. The cup holder crossbar broke off. Then the joints began to crack. The final straw was when one of the supports that hold it open snapped.
We gave her one more romp though NYC and decided that we’d now be better served with more mobile, lighter umbrella strollers.
Honestly, at times, we were close to tears. It’s hard to let go of things sometimes, and it’s amazing exactly what items one can become emotionally attached to.
So goodbye Combi. We’ll miss you.
