It is another lovely summer day in Hermosa Beach and as a friend and I head down to the beach, with our girls sitting pretty in their duo strollers, I decide to have a little friendly competition to see which stroller is superior... my Mountain Buggy or her stroller.

I know very little about cars; the makes, models and features. My husband notices cars and will point out the interesting ones, but I don't look for them, or at them much on my own. But once I had a child and started researching gear, I found myself being able to differentiate stroller models based on the wheels, fabric or a glimpse of the hood.

School’s out and my walking to school program is at rest until the fall but I wasn’t going to let the residents of Hermosa Beach off that easy, I was going to make sure they continued walking throughout the summer. I had a plan!

We are one of the many families who enjoy... no... LOVE our Mountain Buggy stroller! We live in the Eagle Harbour community of West Vancouver... so, about as far West as you can be in this fair country without swimming.
