Tell me why you chose

[dearprudence]

Chicco keyfit 30 - small footprint for DH's coupe, recommended by his car forum, and we liked the color.

Baby Jogger Elite - We went in thinking we wanted a BOB, but test drove a bunch and the BOB was big and difficult to navigate so we ended up not getting it. We went with the Elite because:
- lightweight (we've never needed an umbrella stroller)
- single hand fold
- adjustable handlebars (because DH is a foot taller than me)
- "all terrain" (works on trails, the beach, unpaved roads, poorly paved roads, etc.)
- foam tires (so I don't have to worry about flats)

Honestly, if I had to do it all over again knowing we were planning on having more than one kid relatively quickly I would have just gotten the City Select and been done with it. It's fine with just one kid but doesn't becomr completely useless as soon as you have two that you need to push around.

ETA: I really like that it grows with your family. You can face either way and use it as a single stroller with a seat or car seat or a double stroller with a car seat/car seat, car seat/seat, seat/seat whathaveyou.

I love my chicco key fit- amazingly easy install which is nice because we took out or switched bases often

I started off with city mini gt, I thought an easy fold and lite weight was most important
5 months In with DD1, I realized I wanted other features, ability to parent face, and big basket. I sold the city mini and bought the uppababy vista. Yeah it's heavier but all the features and capabilities make it well worth it. I loved the parent facing feature. The basket is amazing. The car seat adapter actually snaps in place unlike the crappy city mini adapter.
When the 2015 ubv was released I sold my 2013 version and bought the 2015 version. I love all the configurations for two. It's awesome for my 3 week old and two week old! I also love having the bassinet option. The new fold on the 2015 version is so much easier and it pushes like a dream, even when set up for 2, it glides like a single stroller. It's $$$$ but well worth it!

I also have the uppababy g luxe umbrella. It's very light weight, fully reclines and has a huge sunshade. I also like that it stands on its own when folded. Once again it's $$$ but most umbrellas with those features are. Also it's plenty tall enough for my 6'7 DH to push. Many umbrella stroller s looked the size of doll strollers.

Another B-safe/B-Agile combo here. It was either that or the Keyfit or City Mini, just based on reviews I read. I wanted a stroller that was easy to fold and on the lighter side, and I didn't want to spend a ton. When I tested them out at BRU, I didn't like the way the rubber handle on the City Mini felt, so I went with the B-Agile. I was leaning towards the Keyfit over the B-safe, but since the B-safe snaps right into the B-Agile, I went with that instead. I bought last year's model for a good price.

Chicco keyfit - I went to BRU and this was the only one that seemed to fit. And all my friends give it rave reviews so done.

Coworker gave me her snap and go. This will go in the car.

But we live in an urban area and I want a stroller that doesn't require a car seat. UBV was my first choice, but I can't pull the trigger, mainly because I see the bassinet as a waste after 3 months. I am leaning towards the Cruz with the infant insert.

Lol dojo at virgin plastic!!

Stroller - uppa baby vista because it had a huge storage basket, could be used with a car seat and faced front and back. Plus it got rave reviews.

We got the uppababy Cruz for similar reasons. We live in DC and walk everywhere. It's very comfortable on city sidewalks. Easy to collapse.

We got the Uppababy Mesa car seat bc it fits easily with no adapter. Good ratings too.

Love them both.

@preppy, I really wanted the Vista bc of the beautiful bassinet! Also want to have a 2nd relatively soon.

The pretty matters to me as well. as does the excellent and thoughtful design. It's just so well done.

We got a Graco snugride and a snugrider elite stroller frame because we wanted the convenience of a lightweight stroller frame/car seat combo for when she's little. The snugride is priced reasonably, pretty lightweight, and reasonably easy to do a seatbelt install on.

For a full size stroller we got a City Versa because we wanted a parent facing option and I found a used one on Craigslist.
