Got a Vista stroller second hand before baby came because of the wheels and bassinet. However, we have a small Mazda cx-3 and the Vista is huge. It can sorta fit in the trunk but the wheels hit the ceiling of our car and it feels slightly too close to the baby seat, as it sticks out. Once kiddo is bigger we'll get a tiny umbrella stroller. I will say, the Vista is so comfortable to walk (mostly road and compressed gravel for us) but didn't do very well in our snow this year. Was hard to push in our long snowy driveway. Got the Thule cheetah and it's also too big to fit in our trunk unless we bring back seat down ... So, all I'll say is that having a small car makes a huge difference and if you can find a happy medium with a comfortable small stroller you'll likely only need one. I almost never bring the strollers anywhere and use a baby carrier simply due to car size and foldability.
Are you looking for a single or double? True jogging or just all-terrain? If a single, the Guava Roam folds a lot more compact than a BOB! I don’t think it will fit in a backseat though if you’re looking for super small. I have a Thule Chariot (single) and yes it does come apart and fold kind of flat but it’s still a huge footprint especially if you’re using the jogging attachment. It’s not terrible to take apart and put back together but I wouldn’t want to use it for regular errands and such. I love it but it is not small especially if you mean the double. It’s also quite heavy to load and unload. This might sound crazy but if you really have to pile into one vehicle with the dog on occasion maybe look at hitch-mounted cargo carriers that you could strap a stroller to or something lol (you would need a hitch on your car though). I could see the Chariot working with that when it’s folded down.
Pushed all the wagons including a veer.. Thule is the way to go
Depending on the type of trails you’re running, the Thule Chariot can work well. Your pace will slow, but it can get over some pretty big bumps and fits on most single track
I used it until they were about 8/9 months. Laying down until 7 months (premature babies), sitting for the last two months. Face forward, cause they loved people watching! Rented the thing. Now I have a Thule bike car that is also a stroller (ideal because we don't have a car, annoying because it doesn't fit through the front door).
I live in a very walkable neighborhood and walk pretty much everywhere. I have a Thule stroller that can be used on its own or attach to my bike, and I use it on my bike in the spring through to fall, and in the winter when the snow is very deep I use it as a standalone stroller to get through deep snow. I also have an Uppa Baby Vista V2 and that’s my daily walking stroller. I love the large wheels (not suitable for chunky gravel, but can go across fine gravel and grass fine and moderate snow) and the huge basket underneath. I find it folds up easily. At his grandparents we have a $20 umbrella stroller that I got on sale at Canadian Tire. It folds tiny.
Two. Minu and Vista. I also have a Thule bike stroller that doubles as a stroller too. No regrets. I use them all.
I 2nd this! I have the single and double Thule and we are ROUGH on things and it’s held up great. I trained for my marathon last year using the double Thule and I bought it used!
