DEMI Next vs. DEMI Grow Comparison:

Nuna has delivered several key improvements for the DEMI Next when comparing it to the first-generation DEMI Grow stroller.

DEMI Next comes with new Rider Board included
The clever new Rider Board creates additional flexibility and travel options for growing families. Included with the purchase of the new DEMI Next Stroller, the Rider Board easily attaches to the stroller and provides a safe riding platform for little passengers up to 50 lbs. With two swivel wheels for easy maneuvering, the Rider Board easily folds with the stroller and can be flipped into the stroller when not in use.

Larger Storage Basket
Making the most of your family journeys can often mean having enough room for all your essential goodies. The DEMI Next more than doubles the underseat basket capacity from 10 lbs. to 22 lbs., providing some serious, next-level space for all your essentials while on the go.

Redesigned Canopy
The updated Aire protect canopy™ now boasts ventilation panels and a full privacy cover all in one product. The built-in, airy mesh privacy drape and ventilation panels in the canopy provide for optimal airflow and sustained comfort.

New 4-Position Recline
Easily adjust the recline with one hand to one of four recline positions available with the DEMI Next. Provide maximum comfort for the little one with an upright backrest angle for comfortable, just-right rides.

New Footrest Design
One-hand adjustable calf support and the new footrest design provides optimal comfort and accommodates growing little ones.

Larger Front Wheels
The front wheel size has been increased by 1 inch to 8.5 inches on the DEMI Next to provide for optimal maneuverability and flexibility. The wide, swivel-lock front wheels are tough, foam-filled and ready for any terrain.

Usage From Birth
Furthering the DEMI Grow usage recommendation, the DEMI Next can be utilized from birth to 50 lbs.

DEMI Next Stroller Modular Options:

With the addition of the included Rider Board, the DEMI Next is arguably the most versatile stroller on the market. With an incredibly flexible and adaptable design, the new DEMI Next can be configured into an amazing 25 possible modular combinations in both single and double modes. The Nuna DEMI Next is also compatible with all Pipa series infant car seats and works seamlessly with the additional DEMI Next Sibling Seat and Bassinet.

Stroller for One Child: Enjoy different strolling modes with the little one depending on the desired activity or mood of your passenger. Utilize the Stroller Seat or your Nuna Pipa series infant car seat in either parent-facing or forward-facing mode, or simply pop on the handy and super comfortable Bassinet, to let baby enjoy a snooze on the go.

Double Stroller for a Toddler and a Newborn: Expecting a new bundle of joy? The DEMI Next is easily transformed from a single to a double stroller to make way for the new little one. Simply add a Sibling Seat and you are ready for adventures with double the fun. You have the flexibility to position the newborn in the upper seat closer to you to provide added attention, while your toddler can stroll comfortably in the lower seat while they gain independence.

Double Stroller for Twin Babies: Preparing for twin bundles of joy? The DEMI Next has you double-covered. Stroll your twins in style with either two Pipa infant car seats or two Bassinets and accommodate both your little passengers comfortably and safely as they grow and their shifting needs change

Tag-a-long with the Rider Board: Create additional flexibility and travel options for your growing family and provide a cool ride for a toddler up to 50 lbs. The Rider Board easily attaches to the back of the stroller and gives a safe platform for your older tag-a-long passenger.

A story about what's left behind after death, both emotionally & spiritually - oh, and evil puppets
Format: Kindle
It takes a bit for Grady Hendrix's How to Sell a Haunted House to get to the "haunted" part of that title, but that's okay, really; what Hendrix is interested in here, as much as anything, is haunting in terms of the literal things left behind by death - the traumas that are left for those who survive, the guilt, the shame, the baggage, and all of the other things left behind by those who went before us. And, in the case of Louise and Mark Joyner, puppets. Lots and lots and lots of puppets. Oh, and one of them might be alive and malevolent, turning all of that metaphorical trauma into a very real presence (and, without getting into spoiler territory, all without losing that symbolic weight) - and one that allows Hendrix to bring real horror into the story of an estranged pair of siblings forced back into contact in the weight of their parents' death, and the reckoning that they have to go through as they deal with painful memories and a nightmare puppet. The end result can feel a little cluttered at times (although, by the end, it turns out to be a lot more interconnected and structured than you might realize along the way), and it doesn't help that it features some very fraught family interactions that cross from "painful" to "infuriating" very quickly. But as ever with Hendrix, there's more heart and emotion here than you might expect, and while it's all handled in his usual slightly off-kilter and unique sensibility, it still knows how to deliver the goods both on a horror front and a character one. I'd put it among the weakest of Hendrix's efforts overall, but there's a caveat here, and it's that I don't think anything he's read has ever been anything less than entertaining and solid overall, so even a weaker entry? Still a good time and a good read.

Exactly as advertised
Format: Hardcover
REVIEW: How to Sell a Haunted House by Grady Hendrix If you've enjoyed Grady Hendrix's previous books, you're probably going to like this one. It is Grady in typical form - witty, entertaining, slightly spooky, grounded characters who contrast over-the-top characters, and drenched in South Carolina charm. Now, if you're not the biggest Grady fan, I doubt this will be the book that converts you for the same reasons mentioned above. I tend to fall in the middle. I enjoy his storytelling abilities and scenarios enough to keep reading his books, but there's nothing horrific about them, nor any lingering effects. To me, they are entry-level horror, and that's perfectly fine. There's a huge market for that as his success reflects. This book doesn't try to be anything other than what it is, and I respect that. The story begins with Louise getting the news that her parents were killed in a car crash. She travels from California back to her hometown of Charleston, South Carolina where she reluctantly reunites with her cousins, aunt, and her brother, Mark. Louise and Mark resent one another, so they butt heads at every decision that needs to be made in light of the tragedy. Louise sees herself as the reasonable one and looks down on her brother as an embarrassment and a failure. While trying to come to terms with selling the house, the siblings soon realize that there's another presence in there with them, and it has something to do with their mom's homemade puppet collection. Overall, this book was enjoyable. There was nothing groundbreaking about it, and I got exactly what I paid for. Check it out if you're into spooky stories about complicated families and southern settings.

Disturbing and Hilarious
Format: Paperback
4.5/5 I LOVED this book! The characters are frustrating, complicated, and loveable and hateable at the same time. It somehow walks the fine line of being hilarious and genuinely disturbing. For me, the entire puppet thing was hard to take seriously at first because, I mean, how much damage can a PUPPET do? But wow it soon took a dark turn and was truly scary! If you find Mark to be really aggravating at first, just hold on because it gets better. The character arcs in this book are awesome. Overall, I found this novel to have really unique events that I didn't see coming at all and was excited the whole time I was reading.

Awesome Horror Comedy!
Format: Kindle
This was a fun book to read. I'm a massive fan of horror comedy in terms of movies. Didnt realize that's what I was in store for with this book before reading. The premise: A young woman loses her parents, her and her brother have to get their parents house ready to sell. Only they discover the house doesn't want to be sold. I dont want to give any spoilers, but the book on the surface takes itself seriously, as if it's really spinning a horrifying tale and there's nothing funny about it, but what is going on a lot of the time is so absurd, it's comical. And most of the creepy things are actually creepy, there are parts of this book I legitimately wanted to look away or stop reading or skip ahead but couldn't stop reading. This book is very reminiscent of the type of horror comedy you get in Evil Dead 2. Though a little less bloody. Hopefully Sam Raimi or Bruce Campbell read this and decide they want to bring it to film, it would be amazing. My only complaints about it and why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5... One is the author sometimes (maybe 3 or 4 times through out the book) describes things in a confusing way that cause you to break immersion, go back and read it 5 times to make sure you're reading it right. For instance, at one point he describes the dark as looking through a cloud of flies. It's not exactly clear immediately if there is literally a cloud of flies or if that's just how he decided to describe the dark. There is another part where it describes someone reaching a hand up to catch something but only returning a claw or something along those lines(I probably butchered the wording), and you're left wondering if someone lost a hand or if this was just another weird description... again you only figure out what it's saying by reading ahead and seeing that nothing significant came of that. Another complaint I have, is I feel there is a bit TOO MUCH character building. The book really delves deep into some of the characters and goes way back and rambles on for a while about them. However, it is all interesting and keeps you wanting to read, a lot of it, in the end you realize wasn't really necessary reading and could have been omitted. There was a couple of times I found myself getting slightly exhausted and just wanting to get back into the main story, but kept reading anyways. Also there was at least one seemingly major detail that was set up and then left flat.. One of the characters main drivers for doing something(joining a certain group), a potential love interest, but thats literally where that stops. They get in this group and there is literally no more mention of their love interest in this person. The characters are mentioned, but the initial interest the character had is never mentioned again. The detail is just left hanging. It's not a big deal and doesn't have any affect on the story and I only realized it after finishing the book and pondering it, and just happened to remember it, and thought "wait, what happened to that?" And after pondering it, this detail could have been a powerful thing that would have made this part of the book a lot more impactful, so I dont really understand why the author just dropped it like that. To anyone that's read, I'm referring to Mark coming across a certain street performance and what happens after.
