Don't understand it. Even though I had four children, I would rather be crowded in a sedan than drive those tanks. <br /><br />My daughter had one of those big carriages for her girls, and at one time had a double one. The damn thing was so hard to maneuver and drove me crazy when we had to shop together. Many times she borrowed the umbrella stollers that I kept at my house and shopping was much faster.<br /><br />Simple is better.Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-29128218024458290182012-03-26T13:25:48.180-07:002012-03-26T13:25:48.180-07:00I had one of those too - I much preferred it to Ci...I had one of those too - I much preferred it to Citroens.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-47023073492471379242012-03-26T13:24:10.197-07:002012-03-26T13:24:10.197-07:00Dunno.Dunno.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-88996166219303675662012-03-26T12:39:52.999-07:002012-03-26T12:39:52.999-07:00My car was a Renault 4 with the gear handle on the...My car was a Renault 4 with the gear handle on the dashboard - I never did really master changing gear in it.<br /><br />As for the push chair - a hand-me-down.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-24771965369428112282012-03-26T09:34:22.002-07:002012-03-26T09:34:22.002-07:00My babies had a 'push chair" for about 9 ...My babies had a 'push chair" for about 9 months.
