Hello I know this isn't technically a nursery decor question but just curious if anyone has this stroller? DH and I want to invest in one but can't decide on which model. TIA!!!!

I dont have this stroller, but I strongly considered it. We ended up deciding on a frame + car seat for the first couple of months and then a City Mini by Baby Jogger.
I think there are basically the "Frog" and "Chameleon" - the main difference I notice is that the Chameleon has an adjustable handlebar which was important since DH and I are on the taller side. There must be other differences too, because the Chameleon is a few hundred $ more.
Overall, we decided to skip the Bugaboo and Uppa baby type systems because:
1. Our baby is due in November and the weather will start getting cold in NYC so we won't get a ton of use out of the bassinet portion of the stroller
2. A knowledgeable saleswoman at Buy Buy Baby said that most people who buy the Bugaboo or Uppa come back at about around the 1-year mark and want a smaller stroller (i.e. MacClaren, City Mini, etc.) even though the Bugaboo/Uppa fit children up to age 4 or so.
3. We found the City Mini and really liked it - lightweight, compact, folds up in a quick one-handed motion, very suitable for city living
Wow that is great advice. Thank you!! We will def. have to check out the City Mini because DH and I are both on the tall side as well. I felt like maybe the bugaboo was a trend but where we live everyone seems to have them so I thought it was a good fit then. However, a smaller stroller that is more convenient and light weight sounds like a better fit for us. Thank you again for the advice!!!

We have the City Mini too and LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I like it so much I am going to be looking at the double city mini for sure now that DC #2 is on the way!
check out the uppababy vista too.... has adjustable handlebar and lots of the same features with a bigger basket and way cheaper. check out discussion on second trimester board today.....the pros of the uppa vs. the bugaboo
I bought the Bugaboo camelon and I am in love with it. ?I think it is the best money we have spent so far. ?A few of my friends recommended it and I am so glad I listened. ?I love all the features. ?I was in Miami today and saw a few people with them and just figured. ? I would ask strangers what they though about it. ?In order to get some more opinions...Well they raved about it. ?Just as I expected!
a friend of mine got a bugaboo, and has been kicking herself ever since for it. she saw them all over the place when she went to nyc, and convinced herself that she just HAD to have one, and now regrets it.
she said if she had it all to do over again, she'd get a bumbleride indie, fwiw. i'm planning on sticking with a peg perego P3, but i definitely liked the bumbleride & city mini, too.

Check Craigslist. I just bought a used Cameleon last week for $150.
