Bugaboo v. UPPAbaby

SFESQMOM1

I would love some input from anyone who has actually used either of these two strollers.  DH and I are stuck between these two.  We both really love the bassinet accompanying both and price isn't really an impediment.  We test drove both today and are just stuck in a deadlock.  Thanks ladies for your help.

I bought the Bugaboo on craigslist for a steal (stroller and all the accessories would have been over $1300 new and I got for $250) and love it. I wasn't really looking at the UPPAbaby but was between the Bugaboo and the Baby Jogger City Select (which doesn't have a bassinet option but does have a doubles option). Something to think about that is a plus for the Uppa Baby is that it can become a double if you plan on having another kid in the next couple years. The features seem to pretty much be the same, so I think it would come down to which one you think looks better and if you would want the option to add another seat and use it as a double.

Wow, that's a pretty damn good deal!!! I didn't know about the dual feature with the UPPA, that's definitely good to know. Thank you for your input.

By the way, I just double checked myself, the Baby Jogger City Select does have a bassinet too. There are a lot more seat positions with that as a double and the full second seat can hold more weight than the UPPAbaby rumble seat, so if you are considering the UPPAbaby more to use as a double, definitely check out the City Select. The only reason I didn't go with the City Select was because I found such a steal on the Bugaboo Cameleon and it took us awhile to conceive and I don't know if our next kid will be close enough in age that I will need a double, but if I do then I figured I can always sell the Bugaboo on craigslist.

We went with the UPPAbaby because it was more reasonable (got a 2011 model) and has a bigger storage pouch underneath.

Thank you. I appreciate the storage capacity in the UPPA than in the Bugaboo.

I, too, was struggling to decide between the bugaboo and the uppababy and ended up going with the uppababy (and I'm so glad I did!)

1.) Reviews on amazon were extremely favorable, there were very few (if any) negative feedback for the uppababy, whereas with the bugaboo, there were more than a few negative comments (mostly related to how much they spent and how little they felt they received).

 2.) Uppababy can fold with the seat still in place, with the bugaboo, you have to remove the seat in order to fold (or at least, thats my understanding).

 3.) The undercarriage storage space is huge, I can fit the diaper bag, my purse (which is abnormally large) and still have room for a shopping bag or two.

 4.) Tires never go flat

5.) Amazing customer service.  I managed to get the seat stuck (putzing around with the stroller) and I called to find out how to get the seat unstuck...They said, no worries, we'll send you a replacement stroller!

6.) Price-I got my 2011 uppababy brand new from zulily for under 400.

(can you tell I love my stroller?)

This is VERY useful, thank you.  I'm leaning towards the UPPAbaby now after further research and reading reviews and input.
