I got the Chicco Bravo 3 in 1 travel system at my baby shower and love it! I keep it in the car since the car seat attaches to it. I also got a barely used Bugaboo Ant off Facebook Marketplace to keep inside the house, and I love it as a compact & lightweight travel/short errands stroller.
Can you find a bugaboo ant on fb marketplace? It’s the model before the butterfly so doesn’t have the one hand hold but it is cabin approved. It also lies flat in parent facing mode and sits upright. We’ve travelled with it and a buggy board, when kids were 2 and 6 months, and 3.5 and 1 (different trips, we don’t have 4 kids!). The eldest is happy on the board and loves chatting to the youngest if the pram is in parent facing mode.
You don't *have* to buy a travel system. Get the stroller you want, the car seat you want, and get adapters for A to fit B You will also need a travel stroller but two paths to take here, Doona for an all in one for the first 9 months to 1 year of life or get a newborn ready travel stroller (Bugaboo makes one). Vistas are popular for a reason; they act as your car here around town and they do a good job of it. Things that also matter are storage for said strollers. if you live in a walk up etc. Don't think about "getting a stroller in case we have a second". Get what you need for now; you can always sell it easily on Hoboken Mommies.
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.
We replaced the minu which I hated with the bugaboo whatever small travel sized one is and love that. $140 for a playmat is wild. I think we had a $20 wal mart one. Agree with Chico car seat and now the cosco one. I forget the model but inexpensive
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 :)
Bugaboo and yoyo for travel for us. Friends didn’t get on with the silver cross, difficult to fold down without losing a finger!
I’m a mom and can sympathize, but when the frame of my very expensive [stroller](https://www.bebeconfort.uk/pushchairs/brume-trio?color_swatch_id=5995) became bent beyond repair after only nine months of use, and there was no way to repair it, I had a re-think about the worth of buying a new and expensive “travel system”. My husband bought the next stroller from Mamas & Papas outlet at Dubai Outlet Mall, and that stroller was a nightmare: difficult steering, difficult to fold down into car boot and unfold, etc and no way to get exchange/ refund. Then I put the search terms “Maclaren” (folding stroller), “Romer” (fabulous car seat brand), “Britax” (great car seat brand) and “Phil & Ted” (stroller for 2 children) in Dubizzle and bought some amazing gear for good prices. With my last child, I received a family friend’s secondhand Bugaboo stroller, which was amazing. Once baby was a bit older, I bought a new Giggles folding airplane-approved stroller during a Baby Shop sale (a copycat babyzen Yoyo), which was very sturdy and lightweight, easy to steer, and very easy to fold down into car boot and unfold.
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
Bugaboo is great, had one for both kids, if you wish we have one for sale, all black only used with one child. Dm if interested
