The Vista isn’t manageable anywhere except for the garage for stroller walks. It really is the most cumbersome, overhyped stroller on the market. Travel stroller vote here too: we love the jet 5 by silver cross!

I got a silver cross jet 5 - light weight (7.5kg), folds up the size of cabin luggage for air travel, I live in a city so I don't really need off roading. Suitable from birth up to 4 years.

Are you bringing her car seat? Most car seats fit into the bugaboo butterfly with adapters that they sell. This is what I did at 4 months w my Cybex car seat on the butterfly. Other option is the Jet 5 which lays flat I believe.

Looked at the Silver Cross Jet 5? We use it with the regular Pipa rx, not sure if the Urbn has different connecting mechanisms. You have to click adapters in that are sold separately, but I like it, it fits in the overhead, and it was under slightly cheaper than $600.

Absolute love my Silver Cross Wave 3, yes it’s big and bulky but I usually have hubby with me when we need to use for large shopping trips or outings so not a hassle and worked out great and as we are now having going to have 2u2 very soon. Biggest regret was getting the Silver Cross Jet 5 as a travel pram. It’s takes me forever to open and close it, it’s damn near impossible and everyday I contemplate selling it for a different cabin approved stroller. At the time I went with it as it was on sale and had a lie flat option but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

My daughter is 5 months so this is all very fresh for me. High chair can wait. I’d buy a rocker/bouncy chair before a high chair. There are really inexpensive option. My daughter likes her $30 Walmart one better than her $200 maxi cost. I actually used my breast feeding pillow with a blanket on top to place her on the couch beside me. Obviously you don’t want to leave your baby alone like that but if my arms needed a break she loved it. Travel stroller, I’d buy now. I very quickly realized I only wanted the main big stroller for walks from my house. It took up my whole trunk and was so annoying to take in and out, especially after a c section. We travel a fair amount so I knew we’d get a travel stroller eventually. I bought the silver cross jet at 2 months because it is safe for newborns. I also bought the car seat adapter and I use it more than my main stroller. Wearable breast pump- I’d have some kind of pump before your baby comes. If you plan to pump regardless of breastfeeding, get the wearable right away. If you’re not sure if you’ll pump I’d get a cheap manual one then determine if you will fact will be pumping or not. Bottle washer/warmer. I would have loved the washer before but I couldn’t justify the price. To be honest, it would have been nicer for pump parts but bottles didn’t take that long to wash. I was given a bottle warmer from a friend. I never ended using it. My daughter has been happy with cold bottles so why make more for myself. Also, the first 2 months she would decide she was hungry out of nowhere an instant after hen scream her head off. There is no way I could have waited for a bottle warmer. It is traumatizing you just wait to feed them right away when that happened. 30 seconds feels like a lifetime. Artipoppe, I was given 4 carriers from friends but really wanted a Mabe carrier. I decided to wait and am glad I did. I know people day the artipoppe is nice but there are also so many really nice carriers that are half the price or less. At the very beginning our daughter was too small for a regular carrier and we had to use a wrap carrier for 6 weeks. I was glad to have it at that age but I hate wrap carriers in general.

I have it and I have another travel stroller. It’s mostly good with good wheels but I don’t think it lies down flat enough like the other I have ( silvercross jet ) also the basket is def big enough but I find the seat just to be too short and not long enough.
