Velo

For strollers, check out the mompush brand. They sell direct to consumers so they’re much more affordable! I got the velo and we’re excited to use it when baby is born

3... I got a Evenflo Shyft Dualride (like Donna) which I use as car seat and quick errands. A Cybex Gazelle from neighbourhood walks, then figured out its too big and heavy to put in the car and travel so I just got a mompush Velo as my travel stroller.

I bought this Graco stroller to be used with car seat insert. But later found mompush travel stroller and loved it.

Mine is pretty tall. We used the Mompush to fly to Italy, tour Rome, and cruise all over the Mediterranean. When collapsed it a rolling carryon with handle. It comes with a carry bag, rain cover, and clip on bottle holder that we never used. Loaded it up with a diaper bag and things for four adults. It can lay flat for bassinet mode, but for us that was really a mobile changing table. It has a great detachable snack tray too. I swear my crowning stroller achievement was when we had to get on and off a small ferry across a gangplank that was a literal board on rocky water. My husband had to walk my parents and carry the bags, and I held my son in one arm, and with the other folded the stroller up and and hoisted it one handed over my head and then crossed. Once on ground again, popped it open, loaded up our son and all our stuff and was ready to go. The German couple that was also on the ferry stopped me to ask what stroller it was.

What is your lifestyle? We live in a walkable area so we got a heavier duty stroller (Uppa baby vista v2) and it has been great for the bumpy roads and sidewalks. We use a MomPush travel stroller for quick car trips and travel. I use the ring sling ALL the time, especially popping into places like appts. Baby naps in it too. She is 98%tile so for comfort we switched to her convertible car seat at 5 months. Bucket seat is sitting in the garage. We never used it in the stroller or taking it anywhere except the first week after the hospital for her initial appts. After that, we transferred and she would sleep through transfers.

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!

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.
