I feel like I have not blog in a long long time. I have been extremely busy with work and being pregnant and shopping and shopping and shopping. Yes, when you are 33 weeks pregnant, you do need to do a lot shopping, honey. Unless in case of an emergency pop out (touch wood), your baby is forced to use your lefteover Kotex pad from your last period 9 months ago as diapers; simply because you didn’t get around to buy Mommy Poko.
Among the earliest thing that we purchased for our kid is the baby jogger. We bought a jogger instead of a normal stroller because when having a mum like me a dad like Azman, you just don’t know what kind of activities readily lined up for you. Before I turned preggie, we have spent much of our free time with activities that range from playing sports to jungle tracking and from mountain hiking to tree climbing. Now we just can’t wait for the baby to be old enough to join mummy and daddy for our favorite pastimes. Pastimes that we have neglected for so long; I am pretty sure those mosquitoes at the park cannot recognize the smell of my armpit anymore.
When we were browsing around for the perfect jogger, there was a few that I thought to be pretty cool. The first one is of course Quinny Buzz/ Quinny Zapp. We went to try it out at Planete Enfants, and what seems stylo to me in the beginning makes me feel like a very motherly farmer ploughing her field with a baby sitting on her mesin pembajak.
Then we checked out the award winning Stokke Xplory. Not only that it costs a fortune but also looks so technologically advanced, it just got to be more suitable as an anti-gravitational device used for transporting rocks speciments on the surface of the moon. Or Mars. By astronauts.
At Jusco we saw a wide variety of strollers with the brand name of Sweet Cherry. They look very mainland China but they are also extremely cost effective. However we are having a boy and for us to give him his first ride something called Sweet Cherry, might as well we dress him in pink tutus and tie his head with lacey ribbons.
So at last we settle for Maclaren MX3 2007. Why this model you may wonder, well it’s the tyres! They are almost as big as those on a Kancil and that got me hooked.
We found this model on the internet and have searched high and low all around Klang Valley but couldn’t find it. I guess it is simply not available in Malaysia. So we didn’t have a choice but to purchase it online from MyStrollers.com
When you are buying something from as far as New York city, you might as well combine shipping costs, so on top of a Crimson/Black MX3, we also bought a baby carrier and universal stroller organizer for putting my makeup baby’s stuff.
The shipping costs were US130.00. Don’t worry, no wallets get torn, no credit cards over limit, and there is also no Along trying to tolong us; Azman and I are not crazy kiasu ladies and gentlemen. Our entire baby’s stuff is paid with the money earned from this blog. Hooray!
emm..emm..sungguh canggih! =P
waaaa…best!
😀
wah..boleh tahan..USD130 for that baby stroller, kalo convert RM baru 400++, kat toysrus, pattern2 canggih cenggini bawak sampai 1k ke atas..
di bagusnye hang bli barang anak online, ko tau ape yang aku bli online?aku bli benefit makeup…aku sungguh teruk….uhuk uhuk
eh sat aku silap bace ke?shipping cost je ke 130USd? blom masuk rege barang lagi?kalo mcm tu tesedak gak aku..
Besnyer shop barang baby kan.. so kiut of baby dress and things.. comel comel..
I do suggest that you keep the receipts & claim it with market-base interest rate when ur boy turns 18 (or if ur feeling generous, when he starts work) 😀
Congrats on your new purchase! It’s normal to splurge on your firstborn, really. Coz i do too! 😀 How far long are you now? Cant wait to see the baby!

Thank you for coming to visit my website. Luckily my aunt simpan her stroller, kalau tak… foo yooo a lot of money to be spend around. I’m in my 28 week today, starting to count baby movement (Dr Miriam Stoppard; Conception, pregnancy and birth).
Byk gile benda nak dibeli, lucky for me some my aunt bagi so at least I don’t have to buy a lot.
lol…so funny the kotex part!!
Congrats, the stroller is very nice 🙂 I didn’t know they shipped overseas. Good eh…next time I know ler..:-)

diyana..let me know if u wants to ship sumting overseas in the future. i give u 70% fedex staff discount excluding duties n taxes..heheheh
salam
nak tanya la…do u any uk web based site utk beli2 stroller2 ni yg blh ship ke msia?
coz usha dlm ebay…the price is waaaay cheaper than jual kat sini…but of course unsure shipping cost pulak
and time beli stroller tu…x kena thn dgn kastam utk cukai ke?
if x kena…mcm mana x kena ye..usuallt klu bulky item and price yg di-declare for sure kena thn dgn kastam nya.
need ur advise
also mana lg better to buy…on9 stores in uk or us? coz duit uk skang tgh low sket drp dollar and then i think uk to msia is more cheaper (penah xperience beli baju2 dr uk n post ke msia…mmg uk lg murah shipping cost)
email me back myzeti@gmail.com
tks!
zeti,
tak sure la pasal UK website yg boleh ship stroller ke malaysia.
try ebay pun ok sbb ebay offer buyer protection up to 2000usd.
shipping cost depend pada berat dan service la. shipping cost UK dan US lebih kurang sama saja kalau compare antara UK royal mail dgn USPS.
tapi kalau nak cepat dan selamat ..guna servis UPS, Fedex etc. tapi mahal la sket.
stroller masuk malaysia kena tax ~10% dari harga declare kat kastam. kalu tanak kena tax, mungkin bleh minta seller declare sebagai gift.
i minat sungguh mx3 ni..harga barang skali ngan shipping dr us brape?1300++ ????plz reply
We absolutely love the Dreami. Our baby girl is now 4 months and because she is very tall she is almost out of space. We not only used the Dreami for shopping trips or walking a couple of miles, we also used it as her bed while we were traveling and sleeping in hotels. She is very comfortable in it.
You may think it is not worth the money because you only use it for a short period of time. It is totally worth it. She is our first baby and it allowed us to stay active and go everywhere because she is so comfortable and we never have to worry about her needing to nap.
baby strollers with high traction rollers should be much safer to use compared to those with plastic wheels `*;
