Alterrain Jogging Stroller

Controversial opinion: don’t get 1 do it all stroller. Get several “specialty” strollers, optimized for a specific purpose and buy them used/cheap (unless you have 1 type you want to splurge on). Example: We bought a used graco click-lock that worked with his car seat. It lived in the car. We did some travel, so bought a significantly cheaper knock-off version of the Bugaboo Butterfly. Finally, we wanted a really good jogging stroller so splurged on a Bob All-terrain. Had an adapter for the car seat until he outgrew it. All three of those combined NEW (even if you max out with the BOB All-terrain Pro) come out to less than the Bugaboo Fox 5. And you may not need all of those and/or can buy in stages.

With very few exceptions, all our baby clothes were used. We had a local consignment store that would do a “bag sale” to clear out inventory…fill a standard plastic shopping bag for $10. We also had a neighborhood sale and free porch pickup group we sourced tons of stuff from (and passed along things we outgrew). Some stuff is worth splurging on…we both love our BOB jogging stroller and it’s a tank. But so much stuff is going to basically be expendable, so buy it with that mindset!

Don’t get a single, do-it-all stroller. Instead, get multiple specialized strollers and buy them used (FB marketplace, etc), unless there’s one you need to be high-end in one area and is worth the investment(BOB jogging stroller, etc).

Tall parents and tall baby here! We got a used nuna mixx next and it is great. We don’t use the car seat attachment anymore but we were able to use our EvenFlo infant seat with adapters in the nuna stroller. We also just got a BOB alterrain jogging stroller and it is perfect for our height, in case you want recommendations for a jogger!

We went with the BOB Allterrain so can’t speak to those two strollers specifically but we love the jogger- we’ve even taken it golfing. Just popping in to say I would absolutely still plan to get a smaller stroller for travel. We do frequent indoor spaces a little more frequently and for shopping, so I actually have three strollers 🙃 (important to note, I only paid full price for our travel stroller, the other two we got at KILLER deals otherwise I think my husband would leave me for having 3 lol). We have an Uppababy Cruz for day to day and then the Graco Ready2Jet for traveling - it’s light weight, folds easily, and has a decent under basket - not as big as the uppa or bob but still good enough and much easier to travel with. We got it from Costco for like $100. The jogging stroller is so big even when folded and takes up a majority of the trunk space in my jeep. It would be a pain IMO for air travel and I would be very annoyed losing half of my cargo space on road trips.

My only stroller is the Bob All Terrain but we have it because we live on the Pacific Coast and my neighborhood is full of rocky beaches, forest terrain and no side walks. We love the stroller but I've never packed it up to bring it downtown or anywhere else in the city because its so large. I bought a cheap like $30 fold out stroller for that.

I thought I had to have one where the car seat easily attached and detached. I only ended up using that combo 3 or 4 times before he outgrew the infant bucket seat. I ended up getting a second BOB all terrain stroller on marketplace (honestly just get a stroller from there and don’t bother with new) because my guy loves stroller walks and the plowing on city sidewalks this year was terrible.

My baby is almost 9 months. The bucket seat is useful but not an absolute must have. I carried my baby around in the bucket seat itself a lot more mainly for in and out for appointments. Grocery shopping I would carry him in a wrap or carrier. Actually clicking in the seat to the stroller though I only have done it maybe 3 or 4 times ever. Most of the time I’d use the bassinet attachment. I’d say you have a good pick in stroller. I originally got your standard 4 wheel city style stroller and by winter got a BOB stroller because of the snow and the terrible job at plowing my city does. My baby loves stroller walks and if you are an outdoorsy person a 3 wheel all-terrain stroller is fantastic.
