2nd Trimester

Finally made the stroller decision

I have been aggonizing over this for months.  I just couldn't decide.

First it was the Kolcraft Contours 3-Wheel Option and the Graco Metrolite.  I wasn't thrilled with the look of the Metrolite, but love the weight of if.  And the Kolcraft didn't get great reviews and I wasn't sure if it would fit in my trunk, but I loved the look the the rear facing option.

Then I discovered the Bumbleride Indie, but was choking on the price.

Last weekend I was at BBB with my friend and came across the Baby Jogger City Mini. Price is a little high, but not nearly as bad as the Bumbleride, easy to fold and folds up small, light weight, will easily fit in my trunk and I love the look of it.

I feel like such a weight has been lifted to finally have the decision made.

  • I put the Baby Jogger City Mini on my registry as well ! In all black..I am hoping one of the grandparents feel the need to buy it so we don't have to LOL

  • I've got my eye on the green and black one.  DH likes the orange and gray one.

  • I put the all black on our registry, too!  I am so in love with that stroller!  I actually first saw it on Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane...and I was so impressed! 
  • We registered for this too!  A friend of mine told me she loves hers and even jogs with it. Baby Bargains rates it high.  Another friend rented one in Disney and is going to buy one when she has her second.  I really hope someone gets it for us :)  Ours is red and black.  We registered for some of the accessories too because it doesn't come with them.
  • I have the City Mini and LOVE it!  It's such a great stroller.

  • I've finally decided on our stroller and picked the City Mini as well!! I saw the Crimson/Grey colour in person and it's my favourite so far... so probably going with that one.

    The Bumbleride Indie was in the running, but the main thing that made me decide against it was the fold. When you fold it, it ends up lying on the ground and where I live we actually get snow/slush/slop in the winter time and that's NOT something I want to be lying an expensive stroller in! Yuck.

    The City Select and City Elite are great too, but I just knew that despite all of their great extra features the added WEIGHT would result in me grabbing for a cheapy umbrella stroller everytime I have to make a quick trip with the baby... which kind of defeats the purpose of having a sweet stroller like the Select or Elite. Either one might be our second stroller if I find I need something either all-terrain or that can covert to a double.

    I'll like you for always,
    As long as I'm living my baby you'll be.

  • We were looking at the City Select last night.  DH really liked it, but it was just too heavy for me.  i want something that I can easily pull in and out of the trunk.
