Stroller Question...
What stroller do you use or are you registering for?
We started our registry and the salesperson at BuyBuyBaby really seemed to push the UppaBaby Vista but I don't know of anyone who has it. Do you have any reviews on this type of stroller or suggestions as to what we should look into?

Re: Stroller Question...
I have the City Mini and really like it. But it depends on your lifestyle and needs. I would just go back to the store and test drive some. Don't forget to try opening and closing it as well as lifting it. And bring your DH so you make sure it's comfortable for him to push too.

Re: Stroller Question...
we went w/ the uppababy vista, mainly b/c I liked that it included the bassinet AND you can add on if you need to use it w/ two kids in the future. Also it was so easy to use and wheel around. I read rave reviews online and decided it was the one for me :) (for the record I compared it to the Bumbleride Flyer and the Peg Perego Book Plus since those both have bassinet features and you can also switch the baby to face you or out, like with the Uppababy. Decide what is important to you and then figure out which strollers have those features and give them a spin in the store, it's the best way to narrow it down, good luck!! I was completely overwhelmed with stroller research!!

We got the BOB revolution jogging stroller. DH did some research and that was his favorite.

Re: Stroller Question...
Try test driving these strollers with you and DH 'cus even if you like one, your DH might not like it.
I liked the City Mini, so easy to open one handed, but DH hates it 'cus he's tall and has long strides so keeps kick the bottom of the City Mini.
We ended up getting the Bugaboo Bee 'cus it had all the features I was looking for - reversible seats, adjustible bar height, sturdy and light weight.

Re: Stroller Question...
We had the bumbleride indie and loved the stroller. We also have a Maclaren as an umbrella stroller. We were happy with both strollers. They survieved the boys and now will be used for baby #3

Re: Stroller Question...
I have the Vista and LOVE it!!! It is a bit heavier but it is easy to fold and handles so well. I have the car seat adapter which makes life very easy, especially when he is sleeping and I don't want to transfer him out of his car seat. The basket is huge and the canopy and sun shade are great. I also got way more use out of the bassinet than I thought I would.
My umbrella stroller is the UppaBaby G-Luxe. We don't use it as much but it is super light and DS seems pretty comfy it in. The basket is a decent size and it is east to fold and open.

This. We figured if there will be a baby #2 later on we won't have to buy another stroller. Just an adapter and seat.

Stroller Question...
I have the Vista and I'm happy with it. Maneuvers very well, easy to close, may be a lil on the heavy side, but not too bad. I could still handle it at 7 months preggo!
However, when I was looking...it was between the Vista and the Baby Jogger City Select stroller. I was leaning more towards the city select but got turned off because 3 years ago, it had inflatable tires (silly!) so I got the Vista. I love the different combos when you add the 2nd seat to the city select and that the kids could face each other. While the Vista is limited to 2 options? And one kid is stuck on the bottom facing the back of the other seat, which I don't think is such a pleasant sight. I think I would have gone with the City Select if it had the same wheels as the vista.
However, am happy with the Vista, but there may be other strollers out there that fit your needs better? test-drive, test-drive!

Same here, we got the Uppababy Cruz and though we haven't started using it yet, we've heard really good things. It's similar to the Vista- although.... it's less $$, a bit smaller, it doesn't have a bassinet (not something I really cared about for $300 more..) and you can't add on a second seat but I just want a stroller I'll be happy with NOW and if/when I am fortunate enough to have another, we'll figure out then what our situation is. I have friends who got the Vista and felt like it was too big and stopped using it.
I love that you can take out the seat and use the frame as a snap n go

Re: Stroller Question...
I registered for City select. We want #2 soon after and I love that the 2nd seat is the same size! My sister in law has the vista and loves it though. I didn't like that the second seat was different.
