Strollers- have you decided

Mrs_Lady · May 2012

so i just started my research on this...

i totally don't want a huge stroller but at the same time want one that can handle slight rough terrain...

which one have you decided on and why...

mo1012 · May 2012

I'm a FTM so I researched a lot. Ultimately I registered for the Graco Fast Fold Minne Mouse stroller and car seat. They are sold separately but make a travel system. I chose it because the stroller folds with one hand required and the car seat goes up to 30 lbs. I also chose it because even though I'm having a girl I hate pink and I loved that this set was Dark Purple(I know not a real valid reason). I just don't have the budget for a 300 dollar stroller and don't expect someone else to either so I also felt it would be easier to get if we registered for both because it makes it cheaper.

I am almost positive that we are getting the britax b-agile with the b-safe seat. DH and I checked it out the other day and it isn't bulky at all and you don't need a conversion kit for the seat.

I think we are getting a BOB stroller. You can get an attachment for the car seat and I feel like we will use it long term.

I have five strollers -

a double snap n go - that I used during the first 6 months, the SNG's are great to just get around with an infant seat. this would have gotten more use if my son didn't outgrow his infant seat at 6 months.

a maclaren triumph single (love, great lightweight umbrella)

a maclaren twin triumph (hate it, it's cumbersome and something is always wrong with it and my kids don't like sitting in it at all)

a baby jogger summit xc double - awesome jogger, I liked it wayyyy better than the BOB Rev in terms of pushing it and steering it. This is our all terrain stroller. We've pushed it through a foot of soft sand and rocky hikes. ETA: I also run with this jogger between 2 and 6 miles a session and it's great.

and a baby jogger city select - just got this and I wish I would have gotten it before. It's pricey, but if you're planning on having more than one kid it's great because you don't have to buy a double later on, just a second seat kit. It is so versatile, relatively lightweight, has tons of under carriage storage, and is so easy to steer and maneuver (even with both of my kids strapped in.

HTH!

We bought a Quinny Buzz. It's a very sturdy 3-wheeler. It unfolds hydraulically and goes easily from car base to stroller frame.

We decided on the Baby Jogger City Mini, and will also get the adaptor for our infant seat. I liked the weight and maneuverability of it, and with the infant adaptor we'll be able to use it long-term. We don't plan on having our kids super close together, but if we did, we would probably go for the City Select.

jennypasadena · May 2012

We're going with the City Mini GT. It has just a few additional features (and larger wheels) vs. the City Mini. One feature we really liked was the adjustable handlebar My husband is 6'6", so that's important. It was so much nicer and easier to maneuver than the BOB Revolution, which we also considered. Plus it folds super easily.

Rachelilly23 · May 2012

We have a BOB single revolution for DS, so we wanted a double one. I love our BOB and wouldn't really want anything else.

We're probably going with the uppa baby vista. I like that it has the bassinet and the toddler seat, it can face either way, you can add a rumble seat for a second child, the storage basket is big, and it's good on city streets, which is what we'll be using it for. It's also really easy to maneuver.

We're also leaning towards the vista, for all the same reasons. We're considering the Bugaboo cameleon as well. I love the City Mini, and would definitely have gone for that except we really wanted to be able to reverse the seat. The City select is still a possibility for this reason, but it's heavier so I'm not sure. We're going shopping to try them all out in a few weeks, so will make a decision then.

I fell in love with the Stokke Xplory this weekend. I love how high the baby can sit, maneuverability and the look -- since we don't have a car won't need to collapse it often. It is PRICEY though at $950 + $250 for bassinet. Thinking about the Uppa Baby Vista instead and using the extra money for other necessary items.

I think we're going to order our dresser this weekend! So excited.

camillicat · May 2012

I'm pretty decided on the BJ City Versa (not released yet). It seems perfect for us as the reversible seat is a major want of mine. I love the Baby Jogger brand but don't think we need the city select as we aren't planning on having children very close together. The demo videos on you tube sold me...now I'm just waiting and hoping that its release date doesn't get pushed back any more!!

This is what we are doing too.

Samesies here!

This is exactly what we are getting. My husband is a full foot taller than me, so the GT works out great!

RockyMtnMama · May 2012

We already have a BOB stroller from previous kids. We'll be sticking with that one.

Tried to quote the first time...didn't work. We're going with the City Mini GT. :O)

teamsweet · May 2012

We have a bumbleride indie and have been really happy with it. We decided against most of the common strollers b/c we needed one with adjustable handle bars (I'm super short).

dixneuf · May 2012

we're also going for the city mini.

Every single NYC friend has suggested it to me.

Gotta be able to zip around and get down subway stairs!

nickell5 · May 2012

I'm going with the Britax B-ready. All of our kids are older and we have been through a lot of strollers and car seats. I swear by Britax, would rather pay the money and know the quality is there than have to buy something later because it fell apart. I like all the positions on the 2012 model and the new and improved wheels, as well as the large cargo space. Our LO is probably going to spend most of its waking moments in it as his/her siblings all play multiple sports and it has to last through plowing through baseball and softball fields, soccer fields and to swim practice.

I registered for this because I like the idea of not needing a sepearte conversion kit. Plus it's very similar to the City Mini which I was thinking about as well.

sdb421 · May 2012

I am waiting for the BJ City Versa to be released before making my final decision, but I'm between the Versa and UPPAbaby Vista. This is our last child and my twins don't ride in the stroller any more, so I only need a single. My only hesitation with the Versa is that I REALLY want a bassinet option, as this child will be carted everywhere since his big sisters are so busy and I'd prefer him to lay flat versus in the car seat everywhere and while the Versa is compatible, the bassinet is SUPER pricey, which the UPPA comes with one.

12PinkBeach · May 2012

We have a bob revolution and love it. We also have a maclaren triumph for quick small trips since its just an umbrella.

I recommend both or an uppa baby vista.

Were in double territory now so idk

mandapie · May 2012

I have 3 strollers for DS. A lightweight umbrella stroller, a jogger and when he was an infant we got a Graco travel system. I know a lot of people don't like the travel systems b/c they're bigger and bulkier, but I LOVED having it and still use the stroller. It's a good "mall shopping" stroller b/c of the little area with the cupholers, the basket underneath and he just seems more comfortable in it.

This time around I'm getting the Graco Ready 2 Grow stroller. I debated even getting a double, but DS is a runner BIG time!!! Plus with it having the spot in the back for him to sit or stand it will work for us until he gains another 20lbs and there are so many different ways to put the kiddos in it.

Starry Again · May 2012

I think we are doing the City Mini but first we are using a Chicco Keyfit carseat with frame.

We hope to wear the baby a lot but I hear a lot of people say that it isn't as easy as it seems. Otherwise we will mainly use the stroller for our nightly walk in which case I don't think the outward facing is a huge deal.

shlittertoots · May 2012

We plan on getting the BOB Revolution SE jogging stroller My husband really wants one, and I didn't want to spend that much and thought we could find a more affordable one, but my best friend just got one and loves it...so I'm on board for splurging on the stroller. It would be good on slightly rough terrain IMO

wonderwallflwr · May 2012

This is what we've decided on to! Its expensive compared to others but is considered one of the safest on the market AND can has the right stride for jogging. DH loves it because it comes in his favorite college team's colors!

m.nonsrichai · May 2012

We are getting the UppaBaby VISTA (https://www.uppababy.com/products/product.php?id=236) and then a CityMini to throw in the car (https://www.babyjogger.com/city_mini_lp.aspx) since it folds up so easily.
