Peg Perego - Selfie Plus

Of the options you listed, the Cruz V3 will easily be the best for going over rough ground, but the same elements that make it so great in that respect also make it the largest and heaviest (26 lbs, I think) - you likely won't be able to gate check it. Unfortunately, the lightest/most compact strollers tend to have little/no suspension and smaller wheels as a consequence, so you may have to decide which feature you think is more important. Aer2 and Minu v3 apparently have good suspension and relatively large wheels for their class (i.e., ultracompacts), but will still have the most trouble going over rough ground. Hub2 is somewhere in the middle, although the suspension is a little firm and I don't love the fold (I think you have to reverse the seat first, and the seat removal wasn't super intuitive to me.) An important question here is whether you want baby to be able to face you while you push. If so, that automatically eliminates Aer2 and Minu (and almost every other compact stroller). Some other lighter reversible-seat strollers that still have decently sized wheels are the Nuna Triv Next, Bugaboo Dragonfly, and Peg Perego Veloce. Cybex has the Mios, but the wheels are much smaller (so it will have a tougher time around rough terrain). The Dragonfly is very tall when folded though (even taller than the Cruz), so it may not work that well if your trunk space is limited. If you don't care about a reversible seat, the Nuna TRVL/TRVL LX, Cybex Beezy (latest model), Uppababy Minu v2, Peg Perego Selfie Plus, and Guzzie and Guss Oxygen v2 are all lighter than 20 lbs, have a one-hand fold, and have larger wheels and more substantial suspension than the Aer2/Minu v3 (or any other ultracompacts, for that matter).

I didn’t! I was able to find a few comments that said it’s so light it almost feels wobbly. I ended up getting the Peg Perego Selfie Plus. It is a one handed fold and you can carry it on your shoulder which I like a lot. I can’t decide if my girl looks fully comfortable in it though. She isn’t sitting 100% independently yet and just looks kind of slouchy in it? I also strongly considered either the Tour or the Traveler from Zoe. I’m actually kind of regretting not going with one of those because they are even lighter and a great price.

Our primary stroller is a peg perego selfie. Primary decision factor is that it can be folded with one hand/in a single motion. It doesn't weight much and is compact, yet it's not super rickety like most other travel strollers. I find it offensive how much space most strollers take up even when they're folded, and also how many steps there are to disconnect and fold everything. If something is going to cost $1000+, it better be made of carbon fiber, weigh nothing, and fold up to nothing at the press of a button.

Peg perego selfie? It lays flat, and the foot rest folds up to also be flat. The maximum incline is like a 45 degree angle though. Which for a baby sounds like what you want, but for a toddler mine likes to sit a lot more forward. The mechanism to change the angle is a drawstring/slide thing so you can have it anywhere between flat and 45 degrees.

Where will you stow your stroller with the truck? Throw it in the bed and hope it's not raining? Also you will hate constantly having to lift things up. IMO a smaller car with kids seems counterintuitive, but it's just so much easier to get in and out of.

Diaper bag? Doesn't matter. Get one that's fabric instead of pleather because it'll be washable. I have a skip hop one and it's fine. car seat/car: We thought we'd need a big family car for a baby, so we got a porsche cayenne. It's not practical though. It's too high up, hoisting carseats and baby up all the time isn't fun. It's wide so all parking spaces seem too small and it's often hard to open the door all the way without touching the neighboring car. So IMO you want a sedan or station wagon, not a truck, not an SUV. I "downgraded" to a subaru legacy and even though it's not as "nice" as a porsche, it's more practical and comfortable. Stroller: You want something that folds and stows as easily as possible. We got 2 strollers, assuming the big heavy tank of a stroller would be our main (stokke), and then an auxiliary lightweight foldable travel stroller to have in the trunk of the car (peg perego selfie). And well..... the lightweight one gets used so much more. The big one is such a hassle to fold, transport, and assemble so it only ever gets used if we go for a walk around the neighborhood. But the travel one gets used daily, in and out of the trunk of the car no problem.

Currently have 3: * peg perego selfie. We bought this. We like it, except the basket underneath is annoying and hard to get things in and out of, but otherwise this stroller is perfect. Even in snow despite just having dinky compact wheels. * Stokke xplory. Given to us. Hate it, too big, too hard to disassemble. it sits on our porch and collects dusts because it's too difficult to use for anything beyond walking around the neighborhood * mountain buggy nano. Given to us. Meh. Dont love it, but also don't hate it. Too hard to fold (needs 2 hands), doesn't steer as smoothly as the other strollers, but reasonably sized so we have it in my husbands car ad use it occasionally.
