On Monday I will be flying to Southeast Asia with Jojo and Deeds.
It is a really long trip and we have four connecting flights. Hometown to Atlanta, Atlanta to Japan, Japan to Bangkok, and Bangkok to Laos.

When Deeds was an infant, I purchased a Baby Planet umbrella stroller that I thought was the greatest.
But now that I have reviewed the Inglesina Trip Stroller, I have a new love.

This stroller kept Deeds contained during Jojo’s music program.
The [...]

I got the blue model, and have really enjoyed filming hither and [...]
