Spring

I use my bugaboo butterfly or Thule spring for Disneyland days. I can’t imagine having to bring a big jogging stroller to the parks and trying to maneuver it through crowds.

I think it really depends on your lifestyle and what you’re looking for, what kind of car seat you have, etc. I love my stroller but you might want something different. The resource that helped me think about what features I wanted in a stroller was the series of articles on Wirecutter recommending different strollers for different types of purposes. I decided I wanted a three wheeled stroller that isn’t tiny but also isn’t super huge for navigating narrow city sidewalks, that works with our car seat with an adapter, and has a true one handed fold. The one handed fold was really important to me. The Thule Spring checks those boxes for me and we still use it every day at 18 months old. She could sit up in it without the car seat from about 6 months old. We never got a bassinet attachment but next time I probably will.

We love our Thule Spring for navigating our city. We used it with our Chicco car seat with an adapter until our daughter could sit up fairly well in the main part of the stroller.

Yeah I almost never see other people with this stroller but we have loved it!

Also it doesn’t sound like my stroller is the type you would want, but just for context we have a Thule Spring. We used it with her car seat clicked in until she could sit up in the stroller. We live in a walkable urban area so we needed to prioritize being able to navigate narrow sidewalks and fold easily to carry the stroller upstairs. It’s a three-wheel design. Lots of parents in my neighborhood have various Uppababy designs but lots of people get them used.

We bought the Thule Spring. It has car seat attachments you can purchase separately and then when old enough they can be forward facing. We’re pretty active so a three wheeled stroller worked well for us. Bonus is that it’s not super heavy and easy to fold! I looked at BOBs but couldn’t lift them myself. We’re currently using ours with our 3+ old and it’s practically still new!

take a look at the thule spring 2. I have the original spring stroller. The newer version is bassinet capable. It’s not a jogger even though it looks like one but I’d argue the push is even better on grassy park terrain 😂. I don’t think there’s anything that is lighter weight that can handle all terrain very well. If you’re willing to not use a bassinet and just a lie flat seat, bombi has larger all terrain wheel accessory while being a bit lighter and folds small (and automatic)

Depends what you want. Ultimately, I think kiddo will fit in a BOB longer so that may be the way to go at this point. That being said, both strollers work great for walking my neighborhood with bumpy sidewalks and no curb cuts. Kiddo can climb in and out by herself. The sunshade comes down farther on the Thule. I will say my BOB is 18 years old and has been used by many families (got it used for $50). So it’s not particularly comparable to a brand new one. But that is a testament to how durable they are!! Bob is a smoother ride because of the air tires, but they require more maintenance than the compressed rubber tires on the Thule. I have put many hundreds of miles on the Thule with almost no maintenance whatsoever and all it has is a bit of sun fading.
