Summer by Ingenuity - 3Dpac CS+ Double Stroller

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

Second this! We use it for travel and it’s so easy to get through the airport with. My only complaint is the small basket underneath but my 1 year old does so well in it!

Cheap-ish option: I bought a Summer Infant 3DS and it's held up through daily use year round including winter on city sidewalks (not great rolling directly over packed snow, but I didn't expect an all terrain machine for what I paid). It has adapters to attach a car seat (specific types but you could probably attach any bucket seat) and I used the regular seat daily once my youngest was 3 months old. I still use it with my now 1 year old and 3 year old to roll them 25 mins uphill to daycare. Lots of storage, kids don't mind sitting in it, great value for what I paid.

Here is the link, it seems out of stock right now. It has straps for you to attach a bucket seat on top of one of the two seats) only specific kinds of bucket seats listed in the manual butttt your comfort level may vary in terms of trying to attach a different seat). My kids love to be side by side in the stroller, they hold hands and play together now. It also collapses pretty small for a double stroller. I also put my uppababy infant snugseat on top of one of the seats to make it cozier for my baby when she was really little. [https://a.co/d/bChIeuq](https://a.co/d/bChIeuq)
