Veer - Switchback System

I agree with all of this but on the stroller note— I doubt you’ll want to get another expensive stroller but if you’re considering one instead of the Vista I HIGHLY recommend the Veer strolller and/or wagon. I was considering the vista but after hearing so many mixed reviews from friends I started to explore other options. The Veer switchback stroller is made for outdoors and has two chassis’s to choose from- a normal one and jogging version. Both have built in shocks, dampeners, suspension so it can handle different terrain and best of all the thing can be hosed down if it gets muddy. The stroller seat itself can be used as a booster in restaurants, or with an attachment be put on a bike or added to the wagon by the company. It can convert to a double stroller (with the capability to put the bassinet in front and second child seat on the bottom (this is something the vista can’t do and it’s SO STUPID. Like obviously you’d want eyes on your newborn and not the infant who would get more of a kick out of seeing the world. This alone convinced me not to get the vista) On a funner note, the same attachment you can add the second seat you can attach a cooler for roadies… errr breast milk 😂 Also not essential but they have color kits so you can change the color of your stroller/wagon. I made mine pink and it is SO CUTEEEEE When I was looking up strollers I went down the rabbit hole of every possible option- weighing out pros and cons and convenience and price and size and features and I couldn’t be more pleased with the Veer stroller I sound like an infomercial but I LOVE THIS STROLLER SO MUCH it is so elite. And I can’t wait to get the wagon version once my daughter is older! I knew that I was going to want a wagon down the line so the fact that the stroller attachments all fit on the wagon was such a huge deal for me. I swear if the people considering getting the vista knew about the veer they would get it instead and love it 1000 times more [Veer stroller link](https://goveer.com/pages/switchback-system)

I have the switchback! There's soooo few reviews on it so let me know if you have any questions! I'll outline some of my thoughts here tho. My girl is 6 months and we've been using it daily since birth. - overall I love this stroller. It tackles terrain SO WELL. - the bassinet is great- I love the bug screen built into it. We actually used it as a nap space on our floor a lot when she was a newborn so it was multi purpose for us. Downside is the sun shade on it isn't huge and doesn't flip sides, so they're in direct sun 50% of the walk. - we used it with car seat adapters a lot when she was 2-4 months - basket is huge. I can do a lot of errands as it as the cart.  - it's heavy but not brutal. Thay said, I did purchase a joolz aer+ for my day to day now that she's 6 months and can sit upright because hauling it in and out of the trunk for every stop isn't fun - I bought the leather handles, leather bumper bar cover and the beige seat color pack. It makes it look wayyyy nicer and feels great. Such a nice sun shade on the lux switchback seat - I haven't ran with it yet as shes not old enough, but I plan to and have no concerns it'll hold up well - the company is awesome. I bought the stroller second hand and didn't get the straps that turn the seat into a booster seat for restaurants from the previous owner. I emailed veer and asked if I could buy new straps (explained I bought used) and they shipped me new straps for free! - overall I really recommend if you're looking for an active outdoor stroller. The suspension is awesome, I love how we can hose it down, customer service is great, I love that the bassinet was multi purpose for us, the switchback seat is awesome as it can be used as a booster and face both ways, and the veer add ons and accessories are so good. I'm totally getting a veer wagon and adding the switchback seat onto that once she's older and we are doing things like zoo days, park days, beach etc. That said, I have 0 knowledge about Thule so I can't say which is better!

We have a Uppababy Vista V2, Bugaboo Butterfly, Doona and a Veer jogging stroller. Looking back I would never get the Doona again. The Uppababy with a car seat adaptor should be the standard or granted any stroller with a car seat adapter. The Doona gets really heavy quick and it’s a lot to hoist into a tall car (Tahoe) with a shorter wife. We got car seat adaptors as well for the Bugaboo butterfly and flew to Utah using that approach and it worked great. The one handed fold down of the butterfly is awesome and it’s super light weight. There is a leg rest handle that can be left out or tucked away so carrying around is easy. We had a Thule jogger but the Veer blows it away. The suspension on it is adjustable and great for the dirt / rail trail. The seat they have is called the switchback and is adjustable and moveable like an uppababy seat. The leg rests also fold back and the seat can be turned into a chair. If you need an all terrain stroller this is the way to go hands down. Uppababy because my wife is the typical white girl.

These are exactly the two we were deciding between as well. First I’ll say that we likely would have been super happy with either choice. We ultimately went with the Thule for the following reasons: adjustable handlebar (we are short and Thule is more ergonomic), comfortability with fixing air tires (husband cycles and has all the tools if a quick fix is needed), the switchback seat on Veer is smaller and if LO is anything like his dad, he is going to be too broad shouldered for a smaller seat. We prefer aesthetics of Thule’s bassinet accessory. At first we really wanted the Veer switch back so we can transfer accessories to the beach wagon. But ultimately decided the beach wagon from Veer is not going to fit our currently beaching style. I think Veer has the bigger lower basket if you think you’ll be storing a lot. That’s all! That’s how close the two decision were and it really just came down to minor details.

Adding in that based on your terrain preferences, I would do Veer because you can hose it down outside and done. The Thule you’ll need to take off and wash. And the air tires on Thule might be an issue if the gravel punctures the wheel.

Veer &Roll system. About to upgrade to 2 kids. Same comment about Uppababy, it’s heavy.

You should check out the Veer Switchback Strollers. Perfect for what you've described! They are all-terrain and luxurious at the same time. Tons of accessories to customize. You can use with your car seat and they have a bassinet option as well. You can ship it for free to see if you like it.

I have the VEER jogger - Worth every penny from infant to toddler.

Depends on your lifestyle. I lived in a big Metro city then moved to Las Vegas with an abundance of trails, so I swapped my LA stroller for a Veer Switchback and haven’t looked back. Also bought my Switchback second hand from a Veer enthusiast Facebook group. My mom loves it too.

We love our all terrain Veer wagon. We have the toddler insert and extra basket. We also used our car seat and bassinet with it until baby could sit with the harness. Both kids love it and it was easy to take on a road trip (took up less space in the car than the stroller). We have a 5yo and 8mo.

I love our Veer. It’s definitely a splurge but especially for a big age gap it has been amazing. I can pop the car seat on for my infant while my 4 year old sits in the wagon. Push pull has been great. We also have a ride along board on our stroller but I don’t love pushing it when my older kid is on it. The Veer takes some getting used to to push because it ends up being rear wheel drive. But once you figure out it’s a breeze. We haven’t traveled with it yet so I’m not sure how easy it is to fold… but I know it doesn’t

I have a Veer 3yr old and a 4 month old. Costco trips are great, heavy af though.. takes up a lot of space. Could do without and just stick with the Uppababy stroller with the double seat attachments
