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!

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.

I’m not going to deinfluence you from a jogging stroller because I love mine, but I will suggest you look at FB Marketplace for a used one because they are pricy new. I got a used Bob all terrain for $55 and it’s amazing for walks.

Yeah, I actually haven’t seen too many Guava’s probably because it’s a newer stroller. But I have seen a ton of Thule’s (also very good) and BOB’s. What I like about my BOB is that it’s really smooth and lightweight to push on all kinds of terrain (even gravel).
