Stroller help

We are only going to buy 1 stroller, and we are looking for a stroller under 200. I need my car seat to fit in it, cup holders, spot for diaper bag, easy to fold and store in small trunk space, nd super easy to maneuver. We will use it for the zoo, walks around the park, and everyday use. The stroller I had with my last child did all of that but I had to fight with the wheels all the time to keep them in the same direction. What do you recommend?

Re: Stroller help

  • It depends on what you want...are you wanting something compact or more full size?

    I use an Uppababy G-Luxe for EVERYTHING.  It does have a cupholder, a great (UV) sunshade, reclines, and is easy to maneuver and fold, and compact.... but it has a small basket. It's currently $189 at Buy Buy Baby.  I also looked at the Maclaren umbrellas & the Aprica Presto.  Both are options that keep it around $200.

    If you are wanting something to use as a travel system.  I really like the new Valco Snap (just got the double) & you can buy a carseat adaptor for it directly from Valco. My double opens & closes very easily plus it's pretty lightweight. It also has a great sunshade. I'm thinking ithe single might be a little over $200 though. Target has a version of the City Mini you might want to check out as well  (under $200) & you chould check out the City Mini as well....although I think it starts closer to $250.  The only thing I didn't like on the City Mini as opposed to the Snap was the basket size.

  • Britax b agile stroller. And if you get the britax b safe car seat, it will just easily snap into the stroller. Otherwise you would need to buy an adapter for other car seats.

    Have the city mini - starts above the 200 budget and cupholder and carseat adapter are add on expenses. What kind of car seat? I agree with pp about checking out Valco strollers. What you described though sounds like a snapngo type stroller.
