These things should come with a spare...
...a spare tire that is. Or at least one should be wise enough to pack a bike tire repair kit. As you will soon note, I was not that wise. I was out roaming the swamp lands today with DD in her rather old, garage sale find, jogging stroller - I refer to it as my all terrain stroller - and we were just getting ready to head home as we were wandering through the cemetery looking at the old head stones. When the back right tire blew out! Why couldn't it have been the front tire?! It's not a problem to do pop a wheelies on a jogging stroller. So I had a 35 lb toddler ready to go to sleep and a stroller that had to be pushed sideways so as not to wreck the rims and I was around 2 miles from home!!!!!! So she tried to nap in the stroller as her legs occasionally dropped out and dragged along the ground. Ugh!
On a positive note: I think I definitely built up my arm strength this afternoon and I must have burnt of extra calories with my creative stroller pushing taticts.
I must remember to pick up a repair kit when I get a new tire me thinks. I would rather not repeat this endeavor in the future.

In some ways it's amusing - but just try to push a jogging stroller on it's side for 2 miles with a 35 lb child in it. Total PITA. But - it could have been worse. It could have started raining, another tire could have blown, DD could have gotten suddenly violently sick, etc. To say the least, we were not moving none to fast. It's hard to steer straight that way.

I'm sure it was a sight to see. I got more than a few strange looks since I was going down a busy street.

I've been trying to picture this...
I too have wondered why strollers don't come with spares. The hard tires wouldn't need it, but there are many that would.
I can just see a tiny jack and spare tire and lug wrench...

I would've probably made Carson wake up and walk.
I'm sure it was a sight to see... and one you'll always remember.
