Lol, yep. Uppababy isn’t even close to in my budget. I’m perfectly happy with my $200 something Zoe!
Yes! I do a lot of walking on sidewalks paved with historic brick and they a bumpy! The bumble ride is amazing, and the company is exactly what I want to support. We also have a zoe for travel or small spaces and that is great as well.
It’s so heavyyyyy..well I didn’t think that till I bought the Zoe and WOW so much lighter. It was great when we had 1. When we added #2 it was very apparent how heavy it was.
Zoe hands down! It is super light weight (can literally pick up with one hand) it folds down flat and turns on a dime. There is also a bunch of room underneath and it reclines on both sides as well so the kiddos can nap if needed.
100%. Our oldest doesn't sit in the stroller much but was enough that we needed up upgrade our Uppababy to a side by side. While I love the Zoe, it's nowhere near as convenient as the in-line one was.
I went through a few strollers, mostly because surprise, twins! Ultimately I decided it was unreasonable to expect 1 stroller to do everything well. But if I had it all to do again, there were 2 strollers that could have taken me through birth to 4ish. A solid multimodal strollers- in my case, the City Select. With adapters, it went from birth up. I had a roller board for my toddler. It was an easy push over rougher terrain, though not quite on level of a jogging stroller. Didn’t tip easily. But it was heavy. A lightweight travel stroller- for me this was a ZOE. Loved how light it was, had snack cups, and the deepest sun shades for napping kids. Could steer the double with 1 hand, which was necessary with a toddler in tow. Quick fold, sturdy for how light it was. But didn’t work from birth (I think they have a model that does now) and wasn’t great on uneven sidewalks or over grass at the park or something. Most umbrella strollers are too short for me to push comfortably (5’10”) much less my husband (6’4”). The ZOE was perfect for me, but my husband did have to stoop a little. We travel a fair bit, so it really was worth it to me to have a really good travel stroller. If I was living in the suburbs and didn’t travel much, the city select could have easily taken us from birth to preschool, kid 1-3. Maybe you’re a runner or live in the country and a jogging stroller is a must. If you take public transit a lot, you’d want something narrow and super easy to fold. You really have to take into consideration what your lifestyle and priorities are.
