I have a 7 months old baby and I am shopping for a new stroller. We had a gracco travel system but I hated it ( bug and bulky) and too many ugly plastic parts, I was actually happy when the seat broke.We also have a chicco liteway that we use for traveling. I am between the bugaboo bee, uppa baby Cruz, Quinny buzz, and Quinny zapp xtra. Do any if you have an input on them? I am soo lost... Thanks in advance!!!
We were deciding between the cruz and bee. I really wanted to like the bee, unfortunately my dd screamed both times we test drove it. Also, I found it too low to the ground, and couldn't justify the price as it seemed she would outgrow the bee in a couple of years. We have the cruz and love it.

Get the Cruz or Bee. Both are great but I hear the push on the Quinny's isn't very good so I would skip those 2. I loved my Bee but the wheels are small so its really for smooth surfaces only. Cruz can handle a little more terrain and has a great basket but it's not as compact. It's just a matter of preference.
We were 2 under 2, now 3 under 3!

Check out the Baby Jogger City Versa as well, if you're considering the Bee and the Cruz. It will be hard to find a floor model to look at, because they aren't making them in 2014 (supposedly starting again in 2015), but you can still order the 2013 model on Amazon. It's an AWESOME stroller. One of my friends has the Bee, and when she checked out my Versa she was disappointed that she didn't know about it when she got her stroller.

I agree with this. I love my Versa and I've had many strollers. For the price ($230ish new) it's really an excellent value.

I have the Baby Jogger City Versa. Haven't had the baby yet, though, so I can't speak too much about it. However, I got it because I love the smooth drive, the seat can sit front or back, the stroller can fold with the seat in either front or back position (apparently, not many front/back facing strollers can do this), the price is excellent, it looks stylish, large canopy, the seat cover can be thrown in the washer, there's an adapter for the Chicco infant car seat, and you can purchase the GT wheels (rubber all-terrain wheels like the ones that come on the city mini GT) separately.
It's really a great stroller. I spent TONS of hours researching and testing strollers and, for the price, this one seems to be perfect.
I didn't really look at your stroller choices as they were out of the price range I was looking in, but I will say that I too am pleased with the Versa. I have had it for about 2 months now. Like ebp913 said, the 2013 model can be found for a great price online. I have had people stop me in the store a couple of times to ask what stroller it was. It is heavier than what I originally thought I wanted, but it is manageable since I only have to get it in and out of the car. Good luck with your decision! It took me forever to decide.

@ebp913 , @Elyseberg, do you find that your baby sits very low in the bugabee???? That's what I am worried about...
