opinion on gender neutral stroller

we need a gender neutral stroller and having difficulty picking a stroller and need advice.  This is the chicco cortina  one in blue and one in purple. We initially picked the silver/purple. Both strollers have a geometric design but the one on the purple is more subtle. I thought the purple was a nice color and somewhat unique.  My husband now thinks he likes the blue better. He's concerned the purple is too feminine and the blue would be more gender neutral. I did think the blue is overall darker and would hide stains but I'm not sure I like its more obvious geometric pattern. We normally have no problem making decisions but we are both very torn.

sorry I don't know why the link isn't clicky. It is the exact stroller just different colors

  • I definitely like the 1st one better. Second one seems dated.

  • I can't get the 2nd link to work, but the purple one is kind of feminine IMO.

  • the purple is called Gemini and the blue is called azura if that helps

     I agree with this.  I initially thought that the purple one would definitely be too girly (before I saw it) but since it is darker I think you could make it work.

  • We are having a girl, and actually bought the purple one (Gemini). It was between that and a pink one. Just to let you know, out of the box... it's obviously purple to me. I don't think it matters either way though, it only matters what you like. It's the same thing with getting a blue stroller since it can be a "boy color".

  • Here's some clickies:

    Option 1

    Option 2

    FWIW, I like the purple better.  The blue does seem a bit busy/dated.

  • I like the blue slightly better. I'm thinking its not so shiny/contrasting IRL.

  • I like the purple.  Seems like it would be pretty dark, but I've never seen it in person.
  • The Gemini. It looks dark enough.
