Why is buying a new stroller SO hard??? Please help!!

BugLuvBugLuv
in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Seriously - I can't make up my mind.

My criteria are - it is smaller then my travel stroller.

More importantly it is able to go on gravel and handle curbs better than my Piece of crap.  (I do stroller pilates twice a week too, so need a nicer stroller for that)

I don't want an umbrella

It would be a bonus if K could face me.

 

I am looking at and really like the city mini - but worried about the tires not being ok for some unfinished sidewalks in our area. so maybe the elite (but that is near $400!  which is pretty high for me)

I also looked at the Kolcraft contours 3 wheel.  But folded down it is still kinda a beast, and Kellan is already at the top of it..

I looked at Baby Trend Jogger Expedition - but am not in love with it,.

Is there something I am missing?

 

I also don't really want to spend an arm and a leg if in two years we will need a double stroller.  I looked at the city select for this reason which is pricier but we wouldn't have to buy another later - but the wait on that is til the end of May (maybe later) and I would like something sooner.... Not a fan of Phil and Ted Sport..

Any thoughts please?

    I'm impressed with the way our City Mini handles with plastic tires.  I love it.

    My only legitimate input is to NOT GET THE BABY TREND STROLLER no matter how much the price is nicer than the rest!!

    Is it okay on gravel too?  Or grass?

    Haven't tried the City Mini on gravel, but grass it's ok. The handle isn't my favorite.  I am short, so it's kind of at an awkward height.  I wish it adjusted and wasn't rounded.

    Otherwise, I love the fold and lightweight design!

    We have the City Elite and have been incredibly happy with it. I live in the city, and it handles tough, beat-up sidewalks, cobblestone street, and the woods great!

     

    One issue is it feels kind of wide. I constantly underestimate the size when going through doorways, and will often hit the side.

    Does the Elite fold the same as the mini?  Is it a pretty compact fold too?
