Bugaboo Frog Stroller

So I found one on our local craigslist for $200 in excellent condition in red with all of the accessories and can pick it up tonight but I am going back and forth on it.

I had wanted to spring for the baby jogger city select b/c it converts to a double if we have another kid before the first one is out of a stroller. However, it took us a year of trying to have this baby and I am not sure how long it will take us to have the next one so needing a double stroller could be a non-issue. Also, I can find the city select for $400, but would need to buy the bassinet kit (another $90), a belly bar is another $30, a cupholder is another $20, the second seat if I want to buy it now for this year's model is another $160, a car seat attachment for $60 and any other accessories like a rain cover are extra as well. So I would be spending about $760 for a double that I may or may not need in hopes of only having to buy one stroller over the next several years. If I buy the bugaboo now we would have more money in the short term to put towards other gear we'll need to get set up, but will have spent $200 towards a stroller we may have to get rid of in a year or two and could have just put towards the city select in the first place. (As I am typing this, I am realizing how little $200 actually is and think I am answering my own question)

Anyone have any thoughts on this? We live in an incredibly walkable area where I can walk to parks, the post office, our church, the library, restaurants, etc. so I plan to use my stroller a lot and it could be my one splurge. Does anyone have either of these strollers?

I say buy it, and if you need to , sell it again to buy the other, you can always sell on craigslist, or ebay

Get it!! I bought a Frog on craigslist also for $200 with all the accessories, and we are totally obsessed. Ours is in excellent condition also, and I feel like the price is so good that it really doesn't matter if we don't like it, or even (god forbid) if something were not to work out with the pregnancy, I would be able to sell it on CL for at least what I paid if not a little more. I also live in an incredibly walkable area.. can't wait to use it

As with PP get it.  If you do have a second baby sooner than later then just resell the Frog and get the double stroller.
