When I had my middle daughter in 2011, I spent 350/400 for a bumbleride QueenB on sale(org price ~5/600)...that was pretty spendy, although there were 1k strollers back then too, they had $2-300 strollers too.
For us, I had/have MS(balance issues), walked daily, visited uneven terrain often with the older kids(fairs, festivals, etc), so felt the "upgraded" stroller was worth the spend(its a pram style, sturdy with larger wheels)
As she got older & we had 2 more, we got a wonderfold...same reasons, but now it held everyone-plus the autistic child had a "pod" for when she became overwhelmed(we also got the 35% off for medical)
HOWEVER that was a me decision/me want & therefore a "me spend"
I cannot get over how many young people want these things with no way to pay for them-then expect everyone else to do so 🙄
Yes! I do a lot of walking on sidewalks paved with historic brick and they a bumpy! The bumble ride is amazing, and the company is exactly what I want to support. We also have a zoe for travel or small spaces and that is great as well.
Joie is the “budget” sister brand to Nuna, and one of the main cost cutting measures is that Joie uses flame retardants and Nuna does not. The standard they are referencing is the bare minimum to be sold in the US, so I wouldn’t put much trust into it. I’d personally rather a secondhand stroller that I know is FR free (Bumbleride, Guava, Nuna). For car seats which should always be brand new, Chicco and Britax make relatively affordable FR seats.
It depends on the weather in your area and your lifestyle.
I love my bumbleride. She’s a beast in the snow, slush, mud and grass. Full suspension and oeko-Tex certified. There’s also adapters for the infant seat.

Travel-friendly, city-nimble, but tiny storage and struggles off-pavement.
