Although money may be a problem, the truck should've been kept. The Jeep wouldn't be suitable if you need to bring the baby along. There would be way too many bumps and noise in the Jeep than it would be with the truck..
This product reminds me of the "AS SEEN ON TV" product that was recently on commercial. It is a square tool with the same blade that cuts these darn packages. It was selling for about $25 (S+H included), but it came in 2 pack and 2 bonus things.
bless!
