We’re going on a five-day vacation to Singapore in two weeks. This will be Manu’s first plane ride, and I am a bit (ok ok maybe a lot!) anxious on how the trip is going to turn out. We have purchased a stroller two months ago in preparation for this trip, but we have barely used it since Manu just wants to play with it. You see, instead of riding on it, he wants to be the one carrying it around. Take note that he does not want anybody touching it when he does this. He gets irritated and cries when he sees mommy, daddy, or yaya touching it. One time, he even threw a fit when his dad tried “assisting” him in pushing the Chicco stroller around ATC. Because of this, we avoided bringing the stroller to the mall, and just let him walk or be carried by the three of us. Of course we couldn’t do without a stroller during our trip, but the daddy already told me that if Manu makes “inarte” because of the stroller, he would just leave it at the hotel. This made me think of buying a harness for the little boy as an alternative to the stroller (well, and also because my mom keeps suggesting it too). I really didn’t want those types that I see in Rustan’s so I requested Gay, my sister in-law, to buy the Eddie Bauer 2-in-1 Harness Buddy for Manu specifically for our upcoming trip. It was available at target.com but since the Target store is only a few blocks away from where my SIL lived, she just purchased it there. A few days after my request, she told me that she was able to buy the last piece and showed it to me via webcam. Here’s a picture of Manu’s new buddy:
I just hope it arrives before our departure. And I hope Manu uses it! Else, pagod-pagod si mommy and daddy

hi kelly this is a nice idea. Alex hates the stroller too, kaya good luck na lang sa min on our next trip. Nakuuuu, ang bigat-bigat pa naman nya and ayaw nya magpa-carry even to Marlon. aaaaargggggh!

Naku sis, si Bela din ayaw non sa stroller. Kaya noong nag HK kami, we decided na di na lang dalhin stroller nya kse dagdag lang sa dala at for sure di naman gamitin ni Bela. Pero grabe, nakakapagod kse lagi lang namin sya karga.
Hope magustuhan ni Manu and new buddy nya. Ang cute nya. And enjoy your SG trip.
Tc sis.

hi mich, akala ko si manu lang ayaw mag-stroller!
pero mukha ngang ayaw mag-stroller ni alex. i remember sa party nagpapapalag siya nung binubuhat mo 
malikot ba sya for a girl? 
by Kelly , on December 18 2007 @ 10:59 am
hi abie, hindi pala nag-iisa si manu! yun nga eh, ang hirap pag hindi naka-stroller, super tiring! eh sobrang hindi ko na makarga si manu for 5 minutes, ang bigat na eh (kahit payat
) good luck na lang samin

hi..! wow nice naman yang harness! i think its a better alternative sa stroller & sa (manual)karga2x haha.
we recently got back from our HK trip & we brought along a stroller for my 17 month old boy per advice ng aunt ko.
he doesn’t like it rin but sa disneyland he got distracted na so ok na, also when he is napping i have a place to put him when we were outside.
gosh,pagod rin kse tlga if karga always..esp pag lakad2 din lage.
anyway, i know ul enjoy ur trip kahit pagod!:)
happy holidays!

hi vannie, thanks for visiting my site. ang cute ng harness noh? iba talaga pag may stroller so we will still bring it. i’m sure pagod kami ng husband ko but everything’s worth it kasi we’re with our little boy. ayoko ng mag-travel without him. nalulungkot ako

hi kelly! what stroller did you buy? i have to buy one for anton na dahil super bigat sya. pero im not sure if he will use it nga dahil gusto e karga sya lagi. kahit 3 kami nagbubuhat when we go out lahat kami pagod hehe
by Kelly , on December 20 2007 @ 9:17 am
hi maybelle, we bought the umbrella type. i think it’s the london model.
when we go out, we let manu walk na. para hindi kami masyadong pagod
pero syempre, there are times when you need to karga di ba?
