Need opinions on reversible strollers

digwriter

Hi all. Just wondering if anyone has used or has found any good reviews on the various reversible strollers on the market. I decided from pretty much day one that I needed to have the option of baby facing me in the stroller, but now it's just a matter of choosing the right stroller.

At the moment I'm trying to decided between the Quinny freestyle 4xl and the Graco? Quattro Tour Reverse Travel System. I'd originally been interested in the Graco Flip it strollers, but every review says that it's hard to push once the handle is flipped.

Just wondering if anyone here has any recos they'd like to share.

I just bought the uppababy vista yesterday (end of year sale) and I LOVE it. It's great for me because I'm very tall, but I also love how baby can be forward or rear facing, reclined, and in the included bassinet. For the money, I think it's the best one on the market.

We didn't wind up getting it, but the Graco Quattro Tour was a frontrunner for us when choosing our stroller.  I loved it and have a friend who has it, so I used it with her a few times to get a "real feel" for it outside a store and it was great.

We just bought it last week,but so far we are very happy with our Uppababy vista.

Thanks for all of the opinions ladies. I'll definitely be researching the brands you've mentioned.

I have the b-ready, and I love it!

The most important thing to look at is if it's the handle that flips and not the seat, is that all wheels are able to swivel.  It makes it hard to push and steer when the back wheels are permanently fixed and can't be unlocked to swivel because when you flip the handle they become the front wheels.

The Bumbleride Flyer is another good reversible option.  I'm not sure what your price range is, so a good budget option is the Kolcraft Contours Options 3.

The new Baby Jogger Versa would be my top pick for a lightweight, reversible single stroller. Not sure if it's in stores quite yet, but it would be worth waiting for. It's amazing. Truly. Just get it. 

Here's a review: https://www.ratedbymom.com/2011/09/new-from-baby-jogger-for-2012-video/ 

I love my Britax B-Ready which also has a reversible seat, but it's quite big and heavy. I kinda miss my Baby Jogger City Mini, but I needed to have a stroller that I could add the second seat.

We love our city select.  Baby can face either forward or back.

I think reversible seats are far more valuable than reversible handles. The handle puts the non-rotating wheels in the wrong position when flipped, which is useless. Except the Bumbleride Flyer which allows you to lock your wheels, so either direction is the same.

I'd suggest:

Bugaboo Cameleon, Orbit G2, iCandy Peach, Teutonia T-Linx, UPPAbaby Vista, Baby Jogger City Select, Baby Jogger Versa (Feb 2012), Quinny Buzz, Stroll Air is coming out with a new one too in February that looks good and so is Valco Baby.

We had a Kolcraft and loved it. You can't flip the handle, though. You have to pick the seat up and flip it. It's not hard, but I just thought I'd mention that.

The Zapp Xtra is also awesome. I have the Zapp and wish I had the UK version so that I could upgrade to the Xtra (the US versions have different frames and can't be upgraded, grrr).

I also have a UBV.  Favorite baby purchase ever.  Love it.  DD loves it.  DH loves it.  Family loves it.  I rarely use shopping carts anymore because the basket is so big and DD is so comfortable and safe in the UBV.  We live in CO with rocky terrain and snow so I wanted an all terrain stroller and it does the job well.

We just got our Quinny over the weekend and it looks pretty great. Very easy to switch the seat front/back and adjust to different positions (reclining to upright). The wheels and brakes work well, and I think my only complaint would be the lack of storage underneath. However, my diaper bag's strap fits around the handlebars, so that should work.
