BOB Gear - Wayfinder Jogging Stroller

We have 4 strollers currently and will be reassessing our strollers shortly with the arrival of number 2! We will likely get rid of a few.  We bought the Vista V2 when it still came with the bassinet. We live in the PNW and it was really important to my mental health that I could get out on the trails. The suspension on the Vista is awesome. I can handle almost any trail (without stairs or sand) easily without the handle shaking my hands. Uppababy (UB) stands behind their products and the strollers also hold a lot of resale value. They replaced parts that broke during air travel. I wanted a stroller that I could add another kid onto because we knew we wanted more. It was amazing for postpartum because of the bassinet and how easy it was to push. I got the cozy Ganoosh and was still able to get outside on cold days. It was annoying to get out of the car and it had major pros and cons while traveling. The storage is also incredible. I can grocery shop, go on long adventures, and basically do a whole road trip by using the basket beneath. We're using it a lot less during the toddler years because she's walking. We use our travel stroller a lot more. We will likely keep this for our second so we can have both kids on the trails. However, we may also reassess, sell this, and get a side by side or wagon instead because I have heard this is hard to push and maneuver with two kids.  Baby Jogger City (old version): this came from a buy nothing group. It is okay, a little tough to fold, and seems not to have held up well for a second child. When I have the energy it will go back to the Buy Nothing Group. Misleading because it's not actually a jogging stroller.  Bob Wayfinder Jogging Stroller: bought this for my husband. He likes it a lot and uses it all the time but I find it a lot harder to handle and steer than my Vista. I'm also short so I find this is too talk for me.  Travel stroller:  Bugaboo Butterfly: I bought this and the Minu v3 at the same time. I returned it and kept the Minu v3 The butterfly is great. Now that we've having two I wish I had kept both because it is now so much more expensive with the tariffs.  Minu v3: We have switched to this as our everyday stroller. I really love this one. It has a nest for newborn compatibility so I won't have to carry a bassinet. It folds up so small and it pushes great. It is light enough to carry up and down the stairs but the push isn't nearly as smooth as the Vista. The basket is also tiny. I have to pack a different diaper bag when I use this stroller. I agonized over the choices and  We will definitely be getting a double travel stroller for two but will likely keep most of the others as there will be times when I want to have just one kid with me or be able to jog or tackle trails.  There are tons of cheaper travel strollers (the Bombi is one I'm super interested in) but I am glad I splurged.  Strollers are a big "quality of life" changer. Yes, you can get a cheap stroller. A Graco will definitely get the job done. But if you're doing a lot of walking it is much more enjoyable with a higher quality product. Using my sister's Graco is annoying and stops me from wanting to adventure when I have to push it. 

First, decide if you want a jogging stroller, or not. That cuts down your (many!) options. Then look at the reviews: what are people saying is durable, easy-to-use, safe, etc? Cut out anything with less-than-stellar reviews. Then look at your price point. What's the max you want to spend? Are you interested in second-hand, or want brand new? Any colors you like? What brand carries those colors? Ask friends and family if they recommend any: sometimes first-hand experience makes all the difference! For what it's worth, I wanted a jogging stroller so I got the BOB Wayfinder travel system. It's around $800 but you can find deals and sales on Amazon (I got it for $400). I HIGHLY recommend this one if you're looking for a jogging stroller travel system: been using it for a year now and it's been fantastic.

Used for almost everything, the only thing worth splurging on is a BOB. Everything other than a jogging stroller is the same basic design. The move is to buy them used/cheap as possible, then you can buy multiple strollers that each meet a certain need for the same price as a new “jack of all trades” stroller that won’t be. We have a BOB all terrain (the big purchase, because we run with him) and then an ultra compact one for travel, we also had what was essentially a Graco cart that his car seat clipped into (but didn’t have a seat otherwise) for when he was <1 year.

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!

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).

Ich kann dir zu diesen Beiden Kinderwagen nichts sagen, allerdings den folgenden Rat geben: Die Zeit, die dein Kind in der Babywane liegen kann ist sehr kurz, nämlich bis es sich dreht und aktiver wird. Das kann bei manchen Babys schon nach 6 Monaten sein.  Daher empfehle ich, lieber nach einem leichten Geländegängigen Buggy oder Jogger zu schauen, die sich im Ganzen Zusammenklappen lassen. Das kann zwar auch unser ABC Design Kinderwagen, ist dann aber sehr schwer beim einladen. Wir konnten gerade im Urlaub kostenlos einen Britax BOB mit 3 Rädern ausleihen. Sehr leicht, sehr wendig und auch leichtere Wanderwege, die angeblich nicht Kinderwagengeeignet wären, waren damit kein Problem.

Thr Bob (The big wheel tricycle stroller) was great for us. Super maneuverable and easy to break down and throw in the car. Loved it.

I got one of these for free (the benefit of being the last of my siblings to have kids lol) and I find it good for shopping. I have an SUV though so getting it in and out isn’t much of a problem. I wouldn’t even bother on our Canadian sidewalks with it though. Especially in winter or spring with the ice salt and gravel on the roads I don’t think we’d make it far. I got a second have BOB stroller… I freaking love that thing. I take it on forest paths all the time, and through the snow the other day lol. but nothing will ever outdo the ergo baby carrier. I have 4 different carriers (I didn’t buy any of them) and my child still lives in the ergo baby. I used it to fly internationally and I’m so happy I didn’t bother with a stroller.

Come to my place in North County and you can try and buy our two BOBS for cheap lol

We had a Nuna that was good, but then I rented a Bob jogger on vacation and fell in love with it. I ended up buying a Thule Jogger which is going strong with kid number 2, but the Bob is a great choice too. Joggers are just better with different terrain, hop curbs easy, and are simple. The Nuna was great if you're on a smooth sidewalk or something and had too many plastic parts

I have 3. Uppababy Cruz is my everyday stroller, a BOB from fb marketplace is my winter/snow stroller, Mountain Buggy Nano is my travel stroller (has gone all over Canada, US, China, and Portugal). Love all three.

Personally i don't think there is a stroller that will fit both 1 and 2. Usually strollers that are good in snow will be jogging strollers or at least strollers with larger wheels. Even uppababy vista will get stuck in the snow and slush. Personally I have an everyday stroller that's easy to fold (in my case I have a Cruz) and a secondary stroller for winter (i bought a BOB on marketplace for $100).
