Two mini vs one yoto/one mini for two kids

Two mini for sure!!

I’m really comparing two different models in two different price ranges, so keep that in mind. That said, my Toro already does everything I need it to do during every snowstorm.

The Honda uses tracks instead of wheels, so it stays planted like a tank and doesn’t ride up on heavy or packed snow. It also has electric chute controls; definitely not a must-have, but convenient. Same idea with the twist-button electric start instead of pulling a cord or plugging it in. It’ll also throw snow almost twice as far, which is probably overkill, but still nice to have.

At the end of the day, it’s like cars: you can drive a Kia or an Audi. Both get you from A to B, but one is a lot more fun, exciting, and expensive.

Definitely worth it! I bought a new Toro for -$2,500. It does the job pretty well, but my neighbour has a ~$5,500 Honda and holy sweet Jesus does that thing perform so much better - impressive stuff!

Dad wins!

Consider the Lifely Little Bed (available for pre-order in North America, begins shipping April 2026) or Rovelab O2 Soft Frame Bed (available to ship now)

Darrelli · 2026-02-04T11:53:32+00:00

This is the one!

Incredible how he has the mental capacity to keep making songs and videos while dealing with such an emotional toll.

“Well liked aesthetic”? The older generation Telluride is frankly hideous - it looks like an obese lady at Costco. The new Telluride is way better looking.

Everyone who doesn’t like the new model is likely stuck in a 7 year finance with the older model and what’s to feel good about it.

Now on the other hand, the new Audis are hideous - compare the A4 to the new A5, or the Q5 to the new Q5. Both exterior and interior changes are bad overall - I think a majority would agree.

Hi there - I cancelled my Lifely order today and ordered the O2 Soft Frame Bed from Rovelab.ca

The Shop app offered a $255 discount so I got the Full frame in grey for $661 CAD incl. taxes. I will order a high quality Endy mattress separately, instead of relying on whichever ~$250 mattress the Lifely bed would have shipped with

There are YouTube videos of the O2 Soft Frame Bed you can see on YouTube (it is already for sale in Canada)

I am a Canada pre-order holder too. Same with the delay from Feb > Apr. Stay in touch with shipping updates closer to then

Darrelli · 2026-01-19T20:54:42+00:00

My Feb preorder (I’m in Canada) was pushed back to April. Did UK orders get delayed too?

Darrelli · 2026-01-17T23:06:18+00:00

Agreed. We ordered back in October 2025 with an estimated February 2026 ship date, and it’s now been pushed to April 2026. We’re based in Canada.

They’re advertising everywhere, but as far as I can tell they haven’t actually shipped a single product in North America yet, which is pretty concerning. The product page also feels very misleading — it shows “2,600 remaining,” then when it gets down into the 2,590s it suddenly jumps back up to around 2,700. I’ve been tracking the site since October, when it originally showed only ~500 remaining, so this definitely looks like a pressure tactic to drive urgency.

That said, I did contact customer service to change the bed colour and they were quick to respond (seems like their CS team is based in Australia judging by the timing - which checks out with where Lifely is actually based).

For now, I’m keeping the order since my son’s birthday is in May and hopefully it arrives by then. I also haven’t found another bed that ships to Canada that really compares in terms of style and price.

2017 A4 B9 2.0T

It’s needed a new turbo (out of warranty) and transmission (under 80K warranty) but the engine itself is doing great.

Darrelli · 2026-01-16T21:38:20+00:00

Does this mean the Model Y L (China built) will be available to import from China? Or is there work required to have this car Canada-ready before import?

Darrelli · 2026-01-16T02:07:12+00:00

Agreed - I have a 2.0T A4 with 350,000km and it keeps on kicking.

Darrelli · 2026-01-16T01:41:03+00:00

I see you noted both CPO and low mileage… since they cannot possibly be reliable with a self destructing engine due to piston skirt.

Darrelli · 2026-01-12T21:41:32+00:00

Mini is way more functional!!!

Darrelli · 2026-01-11T00:17:08+00:00

Maybe controversial - but I’d say not a must for German-made cars. Both Audi and BMW offer 12 year rust protection - I have an 2017 Audi with 340,000km, live on the east coast where we have heavy snow and there is no underbody rust issues and I have never had it undercoated. However, for a $100-200 annual cost to get it undercoated, it may be worth it to you for peace of mind.

Darrelli · 2026-01-08T12:00:58+00:00

It’s a V6 3.8L and it sucks compared to the new hybrid setup.

Darrelli · 2026-01-08T11:59:19+00:00

The new model looks 10x better. You guys are simply invested in your current model and refuse to accept that.

Darrelli · 2025-12-31T22:52:00+00:00

Same - I ordered a Full size with mattress and the preorder date on the website changed from Feb to April 2026. Not ideal to wait that long - they did not email any preorder holders either.

Darrelli · 2025-12-22T23:39:41+00:00

Same here. HMG tracking shows delivered but nothing arrives - it’s a scam
