Delta Children - PowerGlyde Stroller

I have the uppababy vista and the jeep power glide. The difference is so noticeable. the vista is smooth af. It also has a lot of storage space underneath. I would use it all the time but we take the jeep to baseball games since it folds up really small and fits underneath the stands. But when we sit in the grass we’ll take the uppababy. I also like that it grows with your family. We’re planning on having our second soon and it can carry a toddler seat and a newborn car seat at the same time. Or you can have two toddler seats and they sell the extra padding to fit a smaller baby in it.

We have 3. The one we use the most is the uppababy vista. We got a jeep powerglyde because we go to a lot of baseball games and that one folds nicely under the seats. We also have a jeep scout double stroller because my friend has a baby one month older than mine and we babysit her frequently enough to use a double stroller. I think I have 3 due to unique circumstances but I’m sure you could get away with one

I will say if you can either try something out/look at it in person first, or get it either free or used for cheap, I would do that. We’ve tried so many and none feel perfect. We got a used Uppababy Vista with all the bells and whistles for cheap. It has been extremely modular, allowing us to click in the car seats, or newborn bassinets, or regular seats. It is also huge, heavy and not very portable. We got a snap n go for free and used it once, because it is huge and difficult to maneuver. We have a free Babyjogger City Mini and it’s also quite a beast. And a tiny jeep umbrella one that has no storage. I’ve been eyeing the Zoe Twin in my ongoing search to find our ideal double stroller…

I have three kids and we now have every type of stroller I can imagine and we do actually use all of them. 1. When we were having our first, we bought a Graco "travel system" with an infant car seat and stroller. LOVE this for babies up until they can walk basically and we've used the infant seat for all three of our kids. Super convenient to be able to just plop them in the stroller if they fell asleep in the car or vice versa, plus the infant car seats are lighter and easier to carry around with baby in them than the all-in-one car seats that are designed to stay in the car. Once baby could walk/outgrew the infant seat, we got them a convertible car seat that could grow into a booster. At this point we could still keep using the stroller as a normal stroller without the car seat attached to it, but we had #2 on the way, so we bought... 2. ...the Mockingbird single-to-double stroller! And we gave the travel system stroller to my mom who watches our kids a lot so she could have a stroller at her house. We got the car seat adapter for the Mockingbird so that when #2 was a newborn, we could keep using it just like we did the travel system, but we could also have #1 in the stroller too. Highly recommend this stroller. It has all the features of the more expensive double strollers, but a much lower price. The storage basket underneath is huge and we've had nothing but great experiences with their customer service. It's so great that it can be used equally well as a single or a double (great planning for siblings in the future!) 3. Then along came #3, and the older two were getting too big for the double stroller. So, we used the Mockingbird mostly as a single stroller with the car seat adapter for #3, but now that #3 is older (11mo), we got a Jeep umbrella stroller from a consignment sale and love using that on trips or just keeping it stashed in the car as it doesn't take up too much space and is small/easy to maneuver around. 4. We also got the Radio Flyer Voya Quad Stroller Wagon recently and LOVE it for things where we need to keep all 3 kids contained as it still fits the older two in it. Wonderfolds are really popular right now for stroller wagons, but honestly the radio flyer voya double or quad is just as good if not better. It's easier to fold up, lighter, smaller, less expensive, and comes with more accessories than the Wonderfold. All this to say - I would personally recommend going with the Mockingbird single to double stroller and just getting a car seat adapter for an infant car seat. That would give you all the benefits of a travel system but also more versatility for the future.

If you turn the lids too tightly, the “seal” will crack and they’ll leak forever. There’s no fix. People think tighter is better, but for Dr. Browns it’s the opposite. Snug, but easily undone. I encourage parents to invest in a bottle washer (In like the momcozy brand). It sterilizes & dries them as well saving a ton of time. It’ll pay for itself (especially if they’re going to have more that one kid) and you don’t need to get a separate sterilizer for the infant bottles. I love the Dr. Browns, they are my most recommended and are fantastic for kids with reflux, gas pain etc. I love the uppa baby stroller system - it works great for me! The best umbrella stroller I’ve used was by Jeep of all things and I’m not sure they make them anymore. Obsessed with the Snoo baby crib/thingy. There’s probably more but current baby is getting yelly.
