Guava Family - Roam Stroller

Love the guava, use it almost daily for the past two years on some pretty rough terrain and it has held up. Airless tires are the best.

Maybe the guava roam? Folds up nicely intact and has good suspension for different terrains. We traded our uppababy for it and no regrets. Our kiddo is 19m and 25lbs, for reference.

Guava roam and babyzen yoyo (now stokke) are what we did and I’m happy with the combo. If we have another maybe we will eventually get a wagon but I couldn’t recommend the roam more!!

We have a babyzen yoyo2 and guava roam and they fit our needs nicely. They both fold pretty compact but the babyzen takes up almost no space so I’m happy having that as a travel option especially.

I was very similar to you and ended up with a Guava jogger+car seat attachment & the infant seat we went with was the Gracco Snugfit Snugride 35 & we just have multiple bases for our different cars. Originally I had a cheaper stroller that was car seat compatible but I didn’t like taking it for walks because it was creeky the moment you hit any bumpy terrain and don’t even get me started about my attempt taking it down some flat dirt trails. Ultimately I decided I wanted to go with something incredibly stable for my off road ventures because I knew that would give me peace of mind and translate well to all other surfaces as well. I’m SO happy with my Guava Roam and I love how I get to hike with my baby!

You can buy a stroller frame that's essentially a car seat holder on wheels for very cheap. There are lots of options.  For myself, I love the Guava stroller for easy travel and slightly more amenities. It comes with a car seat adapter for newborns. Honestly don't bother with the bassinet.

I had the exact same mindset as you and I have a Guava Roam as my only stroller! I use it daily with my 3 month old with the Chico car seat attachment. It’s the most compact of the major jogging strollers. It’s easy to fold up and doesn’t take up that much space. It fits in the trunk of my Subaru crosstrek, and I’ve heard other jogging strollers don’t fit in the back of smaller suvs without putting the seats down. The wheels are rubber so they can’t deflate. Recently we had a huge snowstorm and I was able to push it through some pretty thick slush and snow/mud when I needed too. I haven’t jogged with it yet but another feature I’ve heard people like is being able to lock the front wheel from the handlebar, which is important for jogging on rocky or uneven ground.

I really like the Guava Roam that we got. Airless tires, shocks, easy fold up, can go on trails, durable.

We had a cheap gracias one and I hated it wheels would get stuck all the time it was very frustrating. If you’re looking into higher end I bought the “guava roam” and love this thing. He’s almost 4 and I still stick him in there when I get the chance.

This is the one I wish I would have gotten. I got the guava roam with a car seat adapter. I love it now, but it sucked when I wanted to go on longer stroller walks but didnt want to leave my newborn in the carseat for too long.

Existing backpack until you know what you want out of a diaper bag. Chicco carseat Consistently great consumer report and safety ratings, great materials, great comfort, multiple 360 options (i don't have a 360 one so I can't speak to that but I have their keyfit 35 and just ordered a onefit max). I can say that unless you live in a spot with horrendous sidewalks, tons of gravel, are an intense runner, or plan to do lots of off roading with a stroller, the guava roam is unnecessary. I still love it, our sidewalks and roads are super crappy and i like beingnot on pavenmemt and its sooooo easy to maneuver, but I would have gotten a stroller with a bassinet attachment or full lay flat option if I could do it over again. Bassinet attachment would have saved my sanity in the first several months. I couldn't go on longer stroller walks because I didnt want my newborn in her carseat (with attachment for stroller) for too long. Serious cabin fever for a bit.

I'm a simp for our guava roam. Lighter weight, one hand fold, suspension, airless tires, 3 wheels. We live in an older neighborhood with rough sidewalks and also like to do gravel trails. It is perfect. Before 6 months, we put the baby carrier on it with an adapter and it handled our rough winter terrain just fine. I've also starter running with it and it's perfect.  Pricey but I got ours secondhand. Honestly, it often gets used multiple times a day and I would replace it at full price if I had to. My goal when I picked it was to remove barriers to getting myself out of the house and it definitely does.
