Summer by Ingenuity - 3Dlite Tandem Convenience Double Stroller

Summer infant 3dlite tandem stroller! Its footprint is so compact, I'm surprised I don't see more of them in the city.

I hate to provide an opposing opinion because I know how overwhelming the ftm situation is but here we go: the Uppa stroller is really big and heavy. I put a Summer 3D stroller on our registry and bought an uppa with a rumble seat and bassinet used for 100. In the first 3 months, baby lived in that bassinet and it was handy to be able to pack them inside in the warmth and click them into the stroller outside (October baby). That was also the bassinet we used for sleep. BUT the frame of the uppa didn’t have to go up/down stairs or in/out of the trunk much. And it was the newborn stage so no one was letting me do any lifting. When it was in the trunk of our sedan it took up almost all of it. Don’t get me wrong, it’s lighter and easier than other systems. But as soon as baby was done with the bassinet we only reached for the 3D stroller because it’s more compact and easier to maneuver. I used it for daily walks on sidewalk and indoors. If you plan to do your daily walks on grass or trails this advice isn’t for you. But if you’re staying on even ground or mall walking then you might want to consider something more compact that can temporarily accommodate the car seat in the first months. The bassinet will be even more short lived, but most seats that accommodate a car seat can take a bassinet too

2. We had a Thule Urban Glide 2 which we used for daily walks and excursions. We also had a Summer 3D lite (umbrella stroller) for travel (international).

Loved my City Mini, we used it for all our World & Land trips until about 2.5! I got mine for cheap off Facebook Marketplace from someone whose kids had outgrown it. Now that my girl is bigger I like the Summer 3d Lite

Definitely older. We went on a cruise last winter with a 12m and a 2.5y, and it was great but could’ve been better. 1. The biggest sticking point was our youngest couldn’t walk. We basically had to carry him everywhere since they recommend no crawling on any carpet outside of the our room. 2. If you can swing it, GET A BALCONY ROOM. It made it still feel like vacation during nap times and early bedtimes. We would switch off who stayed with the kids and who hung out with family, but the person with the kids could sit on the balcony and read/suntan/etc. it was fantastic. 3. If you want to do any amount of daycare while on board make sure it’s your first stop on boarding day. Slots get filled up quick in the baby/toddler room. It was glorious to get a couple hours to our selves. 4. We got a double stroller that the kids sit back to back on and it was wonderful. Folded in on itself like an umbrella stroller and fit under the bed. And was narrow enough to fit through cruise doors. I can find the brand if you’re interested.

It was a Summer Infant 3Dlite Tandem, and the kids sit back to back. But it might not be for sale anymore. My brief google shows a lot places out of stock. Sorry! Maybe it’ll give you a good jumping off point though.
