So on Memorial Day, when we returned from our trip to the Public Garden, I decided to try out the [Chicco umbrella stroller](http://www.chiccousa.com/gear/strollers/ct06-capri/ct06-capri-alaska.aspx) we were given by my friend, Allie.� I'd always assumed Emmett was still too small to fit into it, but after realizing how big he is for his age, I figured I'd give it a try.� Needless to say, James and I wish we'd decided to give it a go sooner.� Em fits into it just fine, and it's a heck of a lot lighter for when we need to maneuver stairs and the MBTA!� I'm pretty sure Emmett enjoys how his feet are free-hanging.� We went for a test drive yesterday, and he really seems to like swinging his feet.
