Ik ben vader van een tweeling en eenling :) de tweeling hing vanaf een maand of 5 in de infant slings in de voorloper van de Thule (CTS) chariot cougar 2. Ook gewoon over het strand en door het bos. De vering in die Thule karren werkt fijn. De nieuweling zit nu lekker in de Thule CX1. Ouder model maar bijna nieuw van marktplaats, heeft wat meer luxe zoals te openen zijkantjes, ingewikkelde hardloopduwstang, schijfremmetjes voor heuvel af. Ik loop er veel mee door het bos, hoogtemeters ook lekker beuken. Twee dagen terug nog interval 3x3 km mee gedaan. Natuurlijk is het wat zwaarder, maar dat noemen we dan maar stiekem sterk worden! Die oudere modellen gaan genoeg op mp. Mt de vierkante buizen van t frame. Wel even kijken of je t jogger voorwiel erbij krijgt of kan vinden, want die kan je niet meer nieuw in de winkel krijgen. https://preview.redd.it/aanvoea2q6gf1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e059acd7e2d70a63bd1a130ecd8539114593a67d

We have two, LO is five weeks, live rurally. The Bugaboo Fox5 Renew (bassinet mode) is for normal day to day use (lives in the car), and a Chariot Cross for eventual skiing/snowshoeing/biking/jogging/beach trips (lives in the garage). We bought the infant sling so it can be used now for strolling, and intend to use it for getting down our muddy/snowy driveway in the winter (big jogging wheel plus totally enclosed space equals win lol). It’ll also be for LO to have a safe, shaded space around the farm, in addition to the other activities once he’s old enough to use it for those things safely. LO is super comfortable in the sling, and usually goes right to sleep. I love love the Bugaboo, and so far it’s handling the fall mud season fine, but I don’t want to use it for that too often, as it lives in the car (it’s hard enough keeping mud out of the car as it is!. I also wear LO in a woven wrap a lot of the time, if you’re babywearing, you may find your stroller needs change 😊

We initially had the Uppababy Vista with the Aria seats. It was great while it lasted but then it became a headache to lug around and the seats have a limited range of movement. We ended up buying a Silver Cross Jet Double. We love it. It’s so light and easy to pop open when you’re juggling twins. We also have a Veer wagon XL for walks and outings and Thule Chariot Cross for bike rides, jogging, and longer walks. We got rid of a double Bob because it was just way too big.

Agree with all of this! We’re using the Uppababy Cruz as our main stroller, and it’s great for all the points listed above except for lack of suspension and hard plastic wheels. I like it for day-to-day walks, but it doesn’t handle well even on slightly uneven terrain (e.g. I avoid gravel paths unless they’re really packed down. Might be less of an issue when LO is older with better neck control, but currently 7 weeks old and rattles around in the bassinet on uneven paths). We ended up getting a Thule Chariot Cross with an infant sling to go on trail walks, since we’ll use that for running, biking and xc skiing when LO is older. Wouldn’t want the Chariot for daily walks though, as it’s clunky and heavy (Thule does make other models like the Urban Glide that would be good for daily use + jogging, if you’re interested in that). As above, look at your lifestyle!

Ik moet eerlijk zeggen dat ik alleen de thule (chariot cross) overwogen heb, geen ervaringen met andere karretjes. Echt een klasse ding, geld waard. Bijkomend voordeel: je kan eindelijk weer met z'n tweeën sporten, deden wij voor de bevalling heel veel. Wij hebben nooit die baby sling gebruikt, dochter zit erin vanaf dat ze zelfstandig kon zitten.

What a good question. For me, lying flat/newborn compatibility, and the amount of space it took up in the car trumped all other factors in the end. We had a secondhand baby jogger and it was just TOO BIG. Carseat compatibility is like negative important in my mind, and totally irrelevant if you have a lie-flat stroller or bassinet. My kiddo basically stopped wanting to be in a stroller as soon as she could walk at 10 months so now the stroller is a glorified bag/luggage cart and I'm so happy I didn't get sucked into snack trays, reversible seats, suspension, baskets, wheels. We ended up with an Ergobaby Metro+. I will add we also have Thule Chariot single that we use walking in the snow and on the ice. I was hellbent on being a one stroller household but I don't mind this because it's also for biking and will outlive our stroller by a lot. But unless you really live in the country I don't think it's a reasonable sole stroller.
