One amputation should have been enough.

3. We got a Maclaren for my son on his current trip
It's going back to the store. Heard complaints that it was not comfortable and the settings were difficult, etc.

Back to the City Jogger and prayer that the next trip (on Thanksgiving Day) won't damage the jogger.

We're taking the City Jogger to Vegas with us.

He's VERY comfy with it.
