New (registry, 180$), mompush nova. Needed a stand-alone stroller because I panic bought a car seat that stays in the car/isn't a part of a travel system really early lol. This one was light for me and easy to fold, and fits in my trunk. Doesn't have a bassinet-type flat position, but has one close enough for infants and that was fine with me because I knew I wouldn't be bringing him out like that in the early weeks. We are a pretty homebody type family, I don't think stroller choice was super important for us but who knows if that'll change (baby is 4 months)
I'd do the Nova if I could do it over. The Lithe is fantastic but the smaller wheels make it super bumpy while on rougher roads and the small under seat storage is annoying at times.
I got a "mompush" brand compact stroller on Amazon and my daughter used it from 1-3 when we didn't want to take our super expensive rugged stroller out. It was PERFECT for the mall!! Def fits in most fitting rooms!
Diaper bag- Brand: skip hop, it’s a great size, has diaper inserts, a changing pad, and two cupholders pockets (I use one for sunscreen) Car seat - Brand: Evenflo, we got the shyft dualride because it converts from car seat to stroller quick when you are on the go running quick errands (I don’t like grabbing a stroller from the trunk every time and pulling a sleeping kid out every time we get out of the car), but they have a revolve 360 that you might like because you said you want something that swivels. Stroller - Brand: mompush, get a stroller that can go flat like a bassinet so that baby can sleep on their back while going for walks and errands
My $160 mompush hasn’t done me wrong yet. We live in a suburb where we take walks on evening as often as the WI weather allows. It’s a very smooth ride over all sorts of sidewalks and paths. The bonus is that I love that I can take it apart and store it in our car or a closet easily. That being said, we do still have an even smaller, umbrella style stroller that we plan to use now that babes can sit up on her own.
Oh I get it!!! So in that case maybe it might be easy to have the convertible car seat since me personally never really took baby out with just the car seat. Baby wraps and Carriers are easier to keep the baby comfortable and all. And also for walks and so you really don’t need the big stroller, a compact travel one does the job just fine, that’s what I used the most when had one kid and takes less trunk space. I have a Mompush one that I got on sale for under 150.
