I would go to a store where you can try out strollers. I liked my Chicco bravo bc it worked with my infant seat. I then got a double and it was great but a tank. Pita to set up and put in my trunk. I now have a chicco travel stroller (folds so small it can go in the overhead of airport bins) and it’s so light and can break down in one hand. It doesn’t have a huge basket underneath though. You need to consider what you value.
I spent my big stroller money on a high quality jogging stroller (BOB) and then went with a Chico travel system. It has been perfect for us.
I had a Chico travel system that came with a great stroller. The only problem is my child hates the stroller. I can count on one hand how many times she actually sat in the stroller after 6 months. I just carried her or put her in a shopping cart when out.
FTM and everyone around me were buying Cybex or Inglesina, since we knew we didn’t want a 2nd and didn’t want to spend a fortune on it we bought Nea2 from Kinderkraft. Best choices I love it and we have a Chicco We for travels cause the nea take so much space in auto even if I prefer it 100 times
Chicco has amazing safety ratings!!!!!!!!!!! (We bought a $750 system from them plus the rotating one for when our boy is older $330ish and two chicco boosters for our adopted children) As someone who experienced infertility for 8ish years before having our miracle… Wanting the best for your bundle of joy is nothing to be ashamed of! You are not responsible for feeding or clothing your coworkers. Your only responsibility is that sweet baby you will be holding and cuddling up with very soon! If they hit you with the “you’re spending too much” simply tell them in a very sympathetic voice, “we understand times are hard. Don’t worry about buying anything, your presence at the shower is special enough.” It will make them uncomfortable and shifts the narrative from you “spending too much” to them not having anything. And if we know anything about adults that will make them feel icky about themselves. As they should! This is your MIRACLE and you deserve to splurge! Congratulations and I wish you the best in the happiest moments you will soon be experiencing! The sleep deprivation is worth it! ❤️
Lovevery playmate for sure, thankfully it was a gift, I can not believe it was 140 for some fabric and a wooden arch I literally could've made at Michael's or Hobby Lobby. I actually love our Nanit. We do the love to dream swaddles and 10/10 recommend, and we have the Chico key fit stroller and carseat combo, also 10/10 recommend, super light and easy to fold. Hatch is so far useless. Honestly Muslim burp clothes, as many as possible, and the mylicon gas drops have been the absolute best.
Don’t get a combo. Look for a system. We did the Chico key fit system. As an infant the car seat clicks into the stroller. When they are bigger then the car seat is replaced with a standard stroller seat and you need a new car seat.
When we had our first kid we went with a Chicco travel system and it did the job without costing anywhere close to a grand.
