"its a brand Im familiar with (my sister has two a single thats 12 years old and a double thats 9 years old ) and they’re still in great shape and in use so we plan to have this one for just as long hopefully."
"It’s not precious because it was only $50 and it is very sturdy. We’ve gate checked it about 10 times with no damage."
"Honestly my advice to you is get something that is a workhorse like a battered old second hand BJCM ... Take it up to the plane gate, let 3yo stand on the cross bar at the back or sit both kids in the stroller at once."

"I expect the city mini *could* be used for an infant. The real issue is that their body wouldn’t be big enough to secure in the straps, and they can’t just be free in the seat to lay down bc they’d fall out with any slight bump."
"My only complaint is the seat is a little big for small babies so use and insert or car seat adapter"

"The Babyzen and City brands don’t really have much adjustment capacity for the the steering handle, so if you’re too tall or too short it may be extremely uncomfortable for you to use something if you need to constantly hunch over."
"I don’t like that you can’t adjust the handle."

"My only con is that it can’t parent face"
The uppa baby cruz is not convertible for two fyi. I also wanted the Triv but with the tariffs is got way to pricey, my compromise and have LOVED so far is my baby jogger city mini air. The fold is just a single pull fold is super small to fit easy in my trunk the canopy is better then the triv and all for a fraction of the price! My only con is that it can’t parent face but for the price and better canopy I was okay with losing that one feature. Plus its a brand Im familiar with (my sister has two a single thats 12 years old and a double thats 9 years old ) and they’re still in great shape and in use so we plan to have this one for just as long hopefully.
Hell no to the Graco. Did it with my first and hated it (live in Mtl so used it daily) Tried a few others. My recommendations are Baby Jogger CT Mini or... Uppababy. Yes Uppababy is expensive but you can resell it. I recently bought the Ridge stroller on sale for maybe $500 approx. Then bought everything else (car seat + adjusters/adapters, bassinet, bassinet stand, ganoosh, rain cover etc) from a Mom in a local parenting FB Group and paid half the cost (in good condition too). Even now those second hand items are still in good condition and could probably be resold again. A Mom friend bought Uppababy used from FB Marketplace, everything for about $700. Used it for 4 years straight (daily) and now passing it onto her friend. Uppababy seems to have a long shelf life!
City Mini. Turns on a dime, slender frame good for shopping, lives in my minivan but fit nice in a car trunk. Mine is used (3rd lady to use it in the friend group). Doesn’t fold completely upright, but it has a following among moms.
I'm just a mom who never left this sub with a 5 and 7 year old. I've had the Citi Mini jogger since my daughter was born. Now admittedly it never got particularly heavy heavy use. But it's still holding up. I just used it in Universal with my 5 year old. I thought the wheel was busted but turns out im dumb and it was just locked. I personally used convertible carseats from the start; but there are adaptors you can use to click into this stroller. It lies flat so I just kept it flat when they were tiny; i may have used some kind of cushioning when they were peanuts but I dont remember. Solid stroller, not crazy expensive.
Jogger is the way to go when your baby is a little bit older!! I use it as our everything stroller. It fits in aisles for shopping, has storage in the bottom, comfy for my now toddler, super easy to push!! It also lasts for many stages after the little baby stage. Gravel or trails are no problem either. I wanted one stroller that fit every need and found it in a jogger.
Definitely look into the Zoe or the Baby Jogger Citi mini (not sure where you’re located but I can easily find a used double Baby Jogger in my area) Wagons aren’t worth flying with because most airlines won’t count it as a stroller and won’t gate check it for you, and will charge you for it as well. I also highly suggest bringing the baby carrier with you as well.
Citi mini. I actually purchased one after renting it at Disney
I like to use scooterbug or kingdom strollers and rent one. the citi mini was the easiest to fold up and it was nice not to have to try to fly with it. We don’t use one at home anymore but we use one at Disney because it’s so much walking, so this way we don’t buy something we won’t use.
Omg the citi mini folds so great. Even the double which we just used last week. We didnt even need a double lmao. But the baskets arent great so I wanted the second seat to dump stuff. The ease and compact of fold was worth it to us.
Purchase a used citi mini from Facebook marketplace or any second hand store. It will be cheaper than your rental and you can use it for future trips. We purchased one for 40 bucks and took it on 7 trips easily. Another tip, make or purchase a sign to put on the handles so you can identify your stroller quickly. At some point it will get moved so you can't depend on just knowing where you parked it. We always drive so it makes it easy. We were about to sell it but a relative just had a kid so it's going to them.
