3Dmini Convenience Stroller

This is the flip side, but we didn’t like how beat up our Uppababy stroller got the first time we flew with it, so bought a cheap travel stroller. We got the ingenuity (I think previously known as summer?) umbrella stroller, linked here: https://www.amazon.com/Summer-Infant-012914326435-Convenience-Stroller/dp/B07GGHVL64. It has been a workhorse and SO easy to travel with. My only qualm is it’s a little short if you’re tall, but totally manageable. 

3 total with a 13 month old: - Bumbleride Indie All-terrain/Jogging stroller (our everyday) - Summer 3DMini Umbrella Stroller (our travel stroller) - MEC Bike Chariot (can be used as a jogging stroller but we only ever use it on our bike)

i like the chicco one fit car seat too, i have a summer 3d mini umbrella stroller that’s super light, folds easy & compact, has a little carriage underneath & cup holders i have a mockingbird i literally never use bc it is so big and bulky 🤣

Yeah. Another person sharing regret in buying the vista here. I got it at a great discount ( December sales of around 200 plus the 15% registry completion discount ) put it at an incredible price so I had to get it as the nuna was turning out much more expensive . But now it’s so bulky it hardly fits jn the car. I’m pregnant and dread handling it so i just carry the summer mini travel stroller. I don’t even feel like converting it and just think I’ll get a side by side instead of conversion kit. I did love the bassinet though.

This! We started traveling with an umbrella stroller at ~6 mo old. She’s now over 2 and we still use it.  Gate check it- it’s nice to have a place to set baby while at the airport. We have the summer infant one and it’s fantastic!

We’re almost 3 and we still use our Summer umbrella stroller for short distances like the community park if for some reason they want a stroll and are not in a mood to walk. Our “big” stroller is the UPPAbaby Minu V2 although we only find ourselves using it for vacation like navigating the airport, a large resort, or walkable cities. A few times we’ve used it as a way to get out of somewhere faster like a museum where they walked most of the time but when it was time to go we had them sit with a snack to avoid the fight. Most often we’re okay with the walking because it helps tire out.

I don’t understand why they don’t just make one that has pop out wheels and a handle at least so it can be like wheeling a suitcase behind you. They make attachments that sort of do this but I have friends who have had bad experiences with them (the car seat falls off, etc.)

We did this and it was ok. I also bungeed a car seat into a single Summer umbrella stroller for moving around an airport, with baby wearing as a backup for when I was skeptical about stability. Given that this extremely rudimentary method did KIND OF work, it is absolutely remarkable to me that there isn’t a better option. There are some things out there that sort of do the job but they are so wildly expensive I’m not sure if I would even count them.
