Bugaboo - Bee5 Complete Stroller

Doona then bugaboo here, found it easier to collapse one handed than the yoyo

Once you get into the price range and brands you're looking at they're all very much the same. At that point it comes down to personal choice/fashion choice. I have the bugaboo :)

We were given a hand-me-down (baby jogger) which is very appreciated. However if money was no issue, I would have gone bugaboo. The user design is just so good. And one hand folding/unfolding action is just so nice. When it’s a stroller and folded it also doesn’t take up much space which was key for us in the city.

just spent a month researching. my takeaway: Nuna - loved this one the most (mixx or trvl xl) but all of the carseats/accesories make it extra pricey. my fav uber premium option uppababy- i found these all to be kind of rigid and too large. didn't like the vibe but its obvs popular mockingbird - decided on this one and so far love the balance of quality and price point. truly feels strong but also premium, while not being huge, and almost all the features feel obvious instead of buried silver cross - if you really want to go with the most premium it is indeed very nice. graco Modes nest - solid budget option. felt a little on the light/fragile side for me but if lightweight with versatility is important, this one isn't bad at all bugaboo - maybe the one i tried was a janky floor model but i didn't think it was smooth at all. nuna/mock crushed it

I just bought the Minu v3 today!! The local baby store had literally just gotten it in. We currently have the Nuna triv and wanted a travel stroller to keep in the car. I brought my 13 mo son and tried out the bugaboo, joolz and the minu V3. The minu was the best one out of all three. Easiest to fold up, has a flap on top to be able to see down to the baby, and easiest capability to expand the seat up/down. it was super helpful testing them out right beside each other!

I’ve used the Minu V2 with UB Mesa car seat as my stroller system since birth, and my husband and I both love it. We use it every day. I was weighing between the Bugaboo vs Minu. Compared to the Bugaboo, the Minu feels sturdier and was a better option for my tall husband. (The Bugaboo’s wheels are a bit smaller/narrower so he would kick them. The handlebar is also lower on the Bugaboo.) I’ve taken the Minu to Disney, down cobblestone, and short grass and it does fine. Obviously it’s not going to be as smooth of a ride over uneven terrain as a full-size stroller, but it doesn’t give you issues/get stuck on terrain. My friend has the Bugaboo that seems to get stuck more often.. but overall they’re both such high quality with very similar folds, etc.

I have the bugaboo 1 and it was very hard to fold in the beginning. I even wanted to submit a ticket online but by the time I was ready the mechanism loosened up and it worked well. I hope that it gets easier for you as well. I still want to get the minu 3 or bugaboo 2 because the seat of the 1 creates sacral sitting which is not good for baby's back.

Personally, I’d gate check both for ease of access/peace of mind. Most airlines (at least in the US) allow you to gate check one car seat and one stroller. The Doona is your car seat, and the Bugaboo is your stroller. You shouldn’t have any issues.

We have 2 strollers and 2 carseats. We have the Uppa Baby Vista V3. We went to a stroller store before we bought it and the guy was directing all city parents to the Uppa Baby and all suburban parents to the Nuna. He was absolutely right. We lived in NYC and the Uppa Baby had these big wheels that could navigate terrible uneven sidewalks without launching the kid out. The Nuna is equally a high-cost brand, but it doesn't take terrain and abuse like the Uppa Baby. When we travel or as our kid got older, we bought the Bugaboo Travel Stroller. We liked it because it could fit in the overhead compartment, could open with one hand, and the canopy didn't bang against your hands as you pushed it (which the Nuna travel did and annoyed me). Both those strollers are compatible with the Nuna Pipa Lite carseat which is hands down the best carseat on the market. It's so lightweight and yet sturdy. Remember, your kid packs on lbs quickly, so even the Doona becomes a serious pain to lift in and out of your car. When he aged out of the Pipa we got the Evenflo Revolve 360 Slim and it's been awesome. Toddlers are messy, so I'm glad we went with an affordable convertible car seat option instead of the Nuna or a similar expensive brand.

Joolz Aer+ is 10/10. I spent hours researching different ones. Bugaboo was my runner up. Avoid the Nuna Trvl, I had it and returned it, it has a hole in the seat structure and a very low back, which became uncomfortable as my child got bigger. Grew out of it before even turning one.
