What Stroller do you have and why?

TIA I never thought this would be like car shopping

Re: What Stroller do you have and why?

The baby bargains book really helped me decide with this.

I did the snap n go with infant car seat for DS first few months. I like that if he is asleep after a car ride I can pick him up snap him into the stroller and be on my way. A stroller like say the uppa baby I would need to take him out of infant seat and put him in bassinet this did not make sense to me.

Then when he outgrows infant seat/gets to heavy to carry around I got the City Mini. it is light weight, had a strap that goes right over your shoulder, is so easy to fold etc. Parents rave about it.

We also got a Schwinn jogging stroller for when we want to go for long walks/runs.

Re: What Stroller do you have and why?

I have a snap and go for using with the infant seat, that I bought used.
I registered for the Peg Perego Pliko Switch. Of all the strollers I tested out in the stores, it was the one I liked the most. And I like the way it folds, like an umbrella stroller, not in half.

Re: What Stroller do you have and why?

i got the city mini and a snap and go. after using the city mini with the carseat adapter for a few weeks, i actually returned the snap and go. the city mini is just so easy and convenient that i saw no need for the snap and go since i never even opened the box.

Re: What Stroller do you have and why?

i got a snap n go for the infant seat, and a lightweight stroller - peg perego vela. this is what my sister (btdt x2) recommended. based on our lifestyle she was admant that we wouldn't need a regular (heavyweight? lol) stroller. i trust her on that.

Re: What Stroller do you have and why?

Baby Bargains helped me. Im in love with my stroller- obsessed with it!!

City Mini- it's very lightweight...you can fold it one handed so easily! I was so impressed at the store...easy to move...compact..i love all of its features!

Re: What Stroller do you have and why?

the snap and go is a must for the beginning. I didn't have it with my first, but did with my second and it was AWESOME!


We have a BOB Duallie that I'll most likely be using after the Snap and Go and then a Peg Perego umbrella.

Graco Literider - has all the conveniences of a full size without the bulk or weight. Its like our 5th stroller with DS bc I couldnt find one I loved - I LOVE this one.

Re: What Stroller do you have and why?

Graco Metrolite. DS's graco infant seat snapped right into it.. Perfect for everywhere we went. Didn't have to worry about storing another piece of baby equipment when he was done with the infant seat...

Re: What Stroller do you have and why?

We have a Bugaboo Frog and a Maclaren Quest. In the beginning we used the snap n go because I felt it was easier to open then the frame to the Bugaboo. I LOVE the way the Bugaboo handles and DS likes being in it. The Maclaren is just so easy to open and so lightweight. Now we use the Maclaren for quick trips and the mall, and the Bugaboo for walks and the beach.

Re: What Stroller do you have and why?

Thank you for ur input ladies! Very helpful!s

Re: What Stroller do you have and why?

We purchased one ourselves already ($500 stroller at half price- could NOT pass up).

I analyzed this section of the baby bargains book and decided on the I'Coo Pacific for us to use in the neighborhood(I take long walks with the dog). I love that it has great suspension, a reversible seat so I can face the baby (very important to me for first 6 months), great canopy and the seat converts to a pram. I'm in love with it. Also- VERY imporant. The I'Coo comes with an adaptor to use the Graco carseat. So I can use the carseat in it and wont need to purchase a separate snap and go...but the handling is much better.

I registered for the Joovy Kooper, a lightweight umbrella stroller to keep in the trunk of our car. It was voted a great value, has 4 wheel suspension and fantastic canopy. Will be used at the mall ect.

I also registered for a City Mini which will be kept at my Mom's house- baby will be there twice a week and my Mom LOVES taking long trips to the park and around the neighborhood. It's lightweight and very easy to fold. Grandma approves.

Hope this helps! My advice, do lots of research online and consider what your lifestyle needs are. We live in the City and strollers are a big part of life here.

Re: What Stroller do you have and why?

I did the snap-n-go & then city mini.
It was the lightest-weight, easiest solution. I drive everywhere, so a heavy stroller was out of the question & I liked the height of the snap-n-go for itty bitty infants (plus it's cheap).

Will see about #2.

Re: What Stroller do you have and why?

We're buying the Peg Perego Pliko stoller (and the Primo Viaggio car seat).

We don't have a lot of space for a stoller in our mud room and I really like the way this stoller folds like an umbrella stroller. Also, it was the only stoller at BBB that wasn't made in China.

I also registered for a Maclaren Sport Quest for when our baby is older.

Re: What Stroller do you have and why?

I plan to register for the Snap and Go for the first couple of months and then the City Mini for when the baby is a little older.

Re: What Stroller do you have and why?

We registered for the Chicco Cortina travel system, including the keyfit 30 car seat

we really liked the reviews it got and the price was right for us as well
