I went to Petite Pram today- a little long
I really loved the store and it was not crowded so you can look at any stroller you wanted and get a really good explanation on each. We did look at the icandy apple but it was too heavy and the tires were air filled and she said they had a tendency to go flat a lot of the time. I will have to say the stroller is def icandy though...it's so pretty but i took this one off my list.
So I think I have narrowed it down to two, the city select and the bugaboo cameleon. I love everything about the city select except for the heaviness factor. I also love that you can change it into a two seater if we decide to have another. The cameleon is great because it's light and nice. It might be annoying to take it apart every time since you can't close it with the seat attached and if we do have another lo we would have to buy a double stroller since you can't change it into a 2 seater.
Help me decide, which would you pick out of the two?

I am no help on this because I am getting the Uppababy, but I just wanted to say I went there today too and loved the store! We are probably buying our furniture there!

I was there today too! So funny 
How much lighter is the Bugaboo vs. the City Select? If you need to take the seat off each time and it's only light when you remove the seat, you can always remove the City Select seat before you lift it too.
I am still struggling with the City Mini vs. the City Select.
Love the City Select's features - baby can face you or forward, easy 4 position recline, and amazing basket. Just not sure I'm going to love the basket enough to make up for the extra weight!
The City Mini is much lighter, but the basket looks unusable and the recline looks more annoying.

Re: I went to Petite Pram today- a little long
I liked the Chameleon, we were deciding between that, the City Select, and the Uppa Baby. We wound up going with the Uppa Baby. Did you look at the Uppa Baby, I felt like it had the best of both worlds, can go to a double, good bassinet, and tiny bit better price point. I didn't love the bassinet that was extra with the City Select, however, it had the best folding mechanism.
I looooved the ocean color in the Chameleon and was so close to getting it, but both my cousins that had it complain about having to disassemble to store it. Had it not been for that I so would have gotten that.

That is funny that 3 of us were there today!!
The cameleon is 19lbs and the city select is 28lbs. That is true I could take the seat off, it comes off so fast. I hadn't thought of that.
I do love the city selects features as well. Everything about it is perfect except for the weight. We did look at the city mini too but we felt the same about the basket and the recline. We also did not like that the foot rest did not change positions. But it is really nice and light and very smooth.
I feel like I am leaning a little more towards the city select. The cameleon is really expensive and if we have another baby in 2 - 2 1/2 years we will have to buy a double and that's a lot of money for just 2 years. Whoever knew choosing a stroller would be so difficult?

We did look at the Uppa and we like it a lot too but we like that the city select has 16 different seat positions. The girl at petite pram said that the you can remove the material off of the base for the bassinet on the city select so she said it takes a lot less room to store than the Uppa which is important to us. We live in an apartment right now...hopefully we will have a house soon but that can take any amount of time.
I do love the new ocean color as well. I keep hearing the same that people find the disassemble annoying.
