Mompush - Wiz

The bassinets are only nice for a maybe the first couple months? 4 months at most in my experience but it will depend on your baby and lifestyle. My sister’s stroller doesn’t have a bassinet mode but instead lays flat and her daughter still took great stroller naps a few times a week. We had a Momcozy Wiz for the first 11 months and didn’t use the bassinet mode once he could hold his head up when buckled. We recently upgraded to a Joie Kava. The biggest downside for me is that there’s no way to face baby towards you but again that’s a nonissue after 4/5 months. You could also see what you could find on Facebook marketplace!

I could not justify the Uppababy or Nuna price tags. I went with the MomPush Wiz from Amazon because it was cheap, looked nice, and had attachments for our car seat. I never saw it talked about in any forums but had good reviews on Amazon. You know what? It works really well for my needs. It’s light, had the bassinet for when the baby was a newborn, now the seat works well. I think I’m an outlier but I spent more money on a nice jogger (Thule urban glide during the Nordstrom sale) and bought the MomPush as our everyday use. It’s working great and I get compliments on it.

I got a Chico Bravo (used) with the plan to use it with the carseat. I also bought the caddy stroller (used) to use for in/out of the doctors office, store, etc. Then I realized my baby was so uncomfortable in the car seat especially before 12 weeks. I love to go on walks and hated putting her in the car seat. I then realized there is no bassinett attachment for the Chico Bravo or caddy. I would have never thought before actually having my baby that I would need this. I then bought a Mom Push Whiz (bought an open box on discount from Rebelstork) and used that but the Keyfit 35 carseat is not compatible (they do have an attachment for the Keyfit 30). Long story short I ended up with 3 strollers that I used at different times lol Now that she is 6 months we are back to using the Chico Bravo because we don't need the bassinet anymore. If I could do it all over, I probably would have just bought a more expensive stroller that does it all. The wheels on the Mom Push Whiz are way poorer quality than my Chico Bravo. I think I would look into UppaBaby or Mockingbird as much as it pains me to say it because I thought they were just trendy and overpriced.

I got a $99 MomPush one on Amazon (during a sale). It starts as a bassinet then adjusts to a seat. Kept it pretty simple - it’s good for outdoor walks and I didn’t really care if it got dirty or a little banged up. The canopy is UPF 50, which was nice, and there’s a cold weather cover you too. The bassinet/seat detaches and it folds up well. No way was I going to spend more than $150-$175 on a stroller! Now that we’re about to have two we’re considering leveling up, but I really just don’t think it’s necessary to get something super fancy.

We have the mompush because we also didn’t want to spend an arm and a leg on a secondary travel stroller. Comes with lots of accessories and a snack tray. For the price, we’ve been impressed. “Best” travel stroller on the market? Probably not. But as far as quality, it’s a good bang for the buck without breaking the bank. I see it lasting a long time.
