Shine Stroller

I feel like Chico Key fit is the best early car seat. We got extra bases free from friends who also used the car seat. We bought the Thule Shine on sale — I feel like Thule offers good value compared to pricey brands like Uppababy or cheap strollers like Chico, Graco. BabyJogger also seems like good value. We bought the Thule bassinet attachment and car seat adapter for Chico. Bassinet was nice but def optional and short lived. Def recommend car seat adapter. Here’s said stroller on sale https://goodbuygear.com/products/thule-shine-stroller-2023-aluminum-mallard-green-1 We borrowed a Halo bassinet from friend that worked well for the first 6 months and found a deal on a crib we liked — I think DaVinci baby or babyletto. I’d say under $500 is more than enough for a crib — Pottery Barn or the like charge excessive amounts

Thule Shine! Compact, nice small fold for storage and you can just get an adaptor for whatever car seat you want.

Fully agree with the urban glide. We have one as our primary stroller, used the bassinet attachment from birth and begun running with it once we put the standard seat in. I didn’t feel comfortable running with the bassinet as there’s no way of strapping the baby in. However, have been running since 3 months age and did runs up to 20km on a good path and my baby loves it and falls asleep straight away. We purchased a Thule shine for 70% off as our shopping one and it’s been great also.

I have a Swedish Thule in Hungary. I feel like I have the Volvo of strollers.

I have a Thule single seat and honestly don’t love it. I think I’ll get the wagon for when they’re old enough to sit up and look into the uppababy vista thank you!

Hi! I will have two that will be 20-21 months apart and we're looking for a good double stroller. I want: * Pretty big/sturdy wheels. We have terrible sidewalks where we live. * Not too heavy, I like to take it pretty easy postpartum. * I don't want the baby to have to be on the bottom * Durable, we're hoping to have more kids * Inline/ tandem- not interested in side by side * Big basket- I will mainly use this for grocery shopping * Easyish to steer * Easyish to hop curbs. I usually find this requires a bar at the bottom to step on and then you press down on the handle. * Would love access to pockets/storage while standing. With both of our current strollers I have to stop and squat/bend down to get to a pocket where my phone, etc is ALSO * I drive a highlander, so trunk space is not a huge concern * We live in a very hot and humid climate, so snow/ice are not a concern * I use the Graco Modes Nest for errands, grocery, doctor, etc I'm overall happy with it. I find it cumbersome to unlatch and open (constantly breaking nails!). Steering is like a 6.5/10. I end up making a lot of 1,000 point turns with it. It's held up really well, but overall it feels less secure and more shaky than our Thule. I don't mean the suspension, just that the parts fit together with more laxity, if that makes sense. Weight is good, tho! * I don't like babywearing!!! I also ways see something about babywearing in response to these posts. S/O to those who do like it- I think it's really sweet. * \*\* We plan to get the Thule double jogging stroller as well\*\*\* My husband and I both run (I won't until closer to 6m pp.) We currently have the Thule single and love it. So this stroller rec wouldn't be for long outdoor walks. More of an 'around town' stroller. THANK YOU!!

Single! We had 2 under 2, and we still rarely use our (single-to-)double stroller. I occasionally put the older child in the stroller and wear the baby, but usually, the baby is in the stroller while the other one is walking or riding on the ridealong board. Also, I do think more expensive strollers are worth it. We have higher end (Uppababy, Thule) single strollers, a mid-range (Mockingbird) double, and the "fancier" strollers are so much nicer to push even when comparing them all as single strollers.
