Our firstborn was born in 2010. That is, with a quick math almost 12 years ago, I had my first contact as a future mother with the wonderful world of children's accessories.
I remember very well when my husband Kalle and I went together to buy carriages. Even then, our choice was Lastentarvike store and Emmaljunga strollers. It has always been difficult for me to make a decision when there is a selection for every departure, but Kalle had a very clear vision of the wagons, or rather their colour... And that's where the idea came from...

Okay, I'll admit. I absolutely fell in love with Emmaljunga's white Mondial Duo Combi when the seller presented them to us. Aah, such beautiful strollers!
When my firstborn was due in May, I could see myself pushing the beautiful white Emmaljunga on Espoo's waterfront streets and cafes. In my images, there was absolutely no sleet, dirt, sand... let alone stains of corn flakes or other food-like caps. There were only sunny summer days, gently smiling passers-by, a kindly sleeping baby and... beautiful white strollers.

Well, everyone understands how delicate the color white is. And still in the family with children! Apparently, the 25- year-old mother-to-be didn't understand it. And when my husband almost swore in front of the seller that he would keep them clean. Wipe regularly so that no dirt pinty and blah blah blah blah... I was therefore convinced that these white Emmaljungas really belong to us.

I do not regret the purchase at all, although you can believe that the carriages did not stay bright white for very long:D AND THE MAN DID NOT WASH THEM! But they served perfectly. It was wonderful to walk leisurely along the beach streets in the sun, but also the sportier “power walk” - the runs went great. And when winter came, and snow fell on the ground, so the wagons ran like a train on rails!

And the same Emmaljungas also served brilliantly for the next child just over 3 years later. Over the years, I couldn't even remember how white they really were back in the spring of 2010.

Don't you think the third time is true?
Now that years (and wisdom!) I have accumulated here since my last cart purchases, so let's start with the fact that this time I went ALONE to explore the selection. Still into Children's Accessories and still first love Emmaljunga mind.

Lovely and super professional Vilma presented me with Emmaljunga's new NXT collection. Oh my gosh, how much the stroller (and assuming all the other baby stuff) has evolved in this over the years.
In my opinion, one of the great things about the NXT range is that now you can get the body of the stroller and the baby booth at the beginning, and only then when you move on to the gear part, you can get it later. I ended up with the Emmaljunga Lounge NXT90 frame model and I was left thinking about the Outdoor collection between olive green and beige... Again, such a typical, difficult decision moment for me.

At home later, I presented the designs and colors to Kalle. It went without saying that the white wagons have already been experienced. So now we ended up with beige.<3 Maybe the gear part will be green... or lounge black will also be really stylish. You'll see it after the summer:)

In addition, I paid special attention to the tires. Thanks to the swivel front wheels, the carriages move very smoothly. We live close to nature and I do a lot of trolley runs along the seafront and on footpaths, so one important feature is that it is effortless and as agile as possible to travel with the trolleys. The tires in the Outdoor collection are still unnecessarily “groats” for my taste, because you also have to visit shopping centers and the city with the wagons.

The telescopic lady is great because the proud big brothers also like to push the baby. That is, it can be easily adjusted depending on who is pushing. And did I already mention my mother-in-law, my mother, my friend... i.e. hopefully These eager chariot pushers can be found then when I myself would dream of taking though a nap;)

And still the third must be mentioned adapters!! Hallelujah!
How convenient it is when you move by car, for example, to the store and move the little one in the safety trough to the body of the trolley and nothing but go.

Vilma, by the way, taught Kalle how to stack the wagons. Personally, I don't really bend over in such bad weeks anymore... But from my husband it goes like a dance! Or to be honest, so much better than dancing;) Hah!

So you can conclude that I am really excited about our new pram and I have to admit that I have missed the stroller loops!

I'm looking for more trolley loops on my instate @joannakuvaja so get an account for tracking <3
I'm sure I'm going to do a lot of other things... because it's pretty awesome! And thrill!
