1. Baby Jogger Summit XC Triple Stroller
--------------------------------------------------------
lizzie01 - 8/13/2012 11:01 pm

 I am looking to purchase this stroller...it has been
 discontinued by Baby Jogger but there are still a few
 left floating around. I am wondering if anyone owns
 this stroller and whether they like it or use it. Since
 it's been discontinued, I can't find one in a store to
 take a look at, so before I order it, I'd like to hear
 what other moms have to say about it. Even better, I'd
 love to take a look at one if anyone does own one.I
 have an 18 month old and 3 month old twins, so I am
 going to need this for some jogging and for some
 walking, just so I can get out for some exercise and
 keep everyone corralled. :)Oh, and if you do own one
 and don't use it, I might also be willing to take it
 off your hands, if you are interested.

2. places to stop on I-5 from LA to SF?
--------------------------------------------------------
nodelmonkey - 8/13/2012 7:37 pm

 We're headed back to SF from southern California this
 week and are planning to stop one or two places for
 food and for the kids to run around along I-5. Will
 also have our dog with us so need a place he can get
 out with us since it will be too hot to leave him in
 the car. Looking for a playground or open space
 halfway between LA and SF or anywhere in route along
 I-5. Any suggestions?

 There is a park with trees and playground equipment
 called Keck Park in Coalinga. Coalinga is about 10
 miles off I-5, exit 325, West Jane Avenue. I also
 recommend stopping at Pea Soup Anderson's in Gustine,
 although that is pretty far north. You can also stop
 near Bakersfield, exit 244, Taft Hwy 119 West, and go
 to Lake Webb on Ironbark Road, but not sure if they
 allow dogs.

4. co-op preschool
--------------------------------------------------------
lisamudd - 8/13/2012 3:52 pm

 Hello, I am starting to look into involving my kids in
 a co-op (or at least getting on a wait-list to start). 
 Ideally, I would like 3 days. I envision working one
 day with them at the co-op and then making my own
 personal transition back to work the other two days. 
 Wondering if anyone has worked with a co-op that they
 like? What has your experience been? Are there certain
 things I should be looking for in a co-op based on your
 experience? A little about us: We live in Bernal
 Heights...so would want to stay in the general
 vicinity, our children are 19 months old (B/G), I am a
 former teacher (grade school), and I am looking for
 something that would be more play-based. Thanks!

 The next big step!Almost all coops I know you have to
 work 1 day per child. So with 2 kids you work 2 days
 and get 1 day off. We ultimately didn't choose the coop
 for that reason. Another important thing to ask is how
 many after hours of volunteering are required.
 Volunteering is not an option at coops, it mandatory.
 There is also required training hours.Ultimately choose
 the school with "the director" you get along with best,
 coop or not. Glenridge in glen park is the one we liked
 best. I know of 3 sfpom famalies that are there.

6. convertible car seats: Britax Marathon 70 Vs. Graco MyRide
65, thoughts?
--------------------------------------------------------
nodelmonkey - 8/13/2012 1:24 pm

 We are needing to move to the next level of car seats.
 The belts are on the last notch and are super tight,
 plus we're reaching the height max. Currently we have
 two Graco Snugride 35's and sit them side by side in
 the back of our BMW X5 (to allow a passenger to get in
 and sit easily from the other side). I'm debating
 moving to Britax Marathon 70 or Graco MyRide 65. I
 found a great comparison at
 http://www.raisingsmallsouls.com/britax-marathon-70-vs-graco-myride-65/.
 Curious if any of you have either of these seats and
 see pros/cons to yours? We keep them mainly in one car
 but would love to be able to travel with them as well.

7. SF Vacation Rental needed
--------------------------------------------------------
sfteach - 8/13/2012 11:42 am

 My parents are coming to SF for two weeks in September
 to help me out with my daughter and newborn twins. If
 anyone can recommend a 1BR vacation rental, ideally, in
 USF/Panhandle area, I'd appreciate it. So far, we
 haven't been able to find reasonably priced apartments
 that are available during their stay. Thanks!

 We are on vacation from 9/11 - 10/4 if you are
 interested in a sublet. We're in SOMA (very close to
 public transportation).

9. letting nanny go
--------------------------------------------------------
anonymous - 8/13/2012 9:11 am

 Hi, We had hired a nanny for our twins "on trial" since
 she has no twin experience etc, and the decision was to
 give her 2 weeks notice if we did not want to keep her.
 We found another experienced nanny who we like, she
 cannot start for a couple more weeks though. My
 question is how to handle this situation. I feel
 uncomfortable leaving my kids with the present nanny
 after having told her that we will let her go in 2
 weeks. Another option is to keep her working till the
 end and just give her 2 weeks severance. Is that fair?
 How would you moms handle this?Thanks very much for
 your input.

 Bought boys speedo at sports basement and had the same
 outcome. Maybe lasted 4 months and pretty
 expensive.GedaliaSent from my iPhoneOn Aug 12, 2012, at

 They're great and and great deal, but my daughter's
 last 2 ended up stretching out and sagging. The outer
 layer of fabric stretched out and sagged on both suits.
 Any idea what I may have done to cause this, or is
 this inevitable? Each one has lasted her only about 6
 months or less! Thanks for any input! Susan Add your
