Zoe - The Tour Series

Second the Zoe Tour! Better price point and agree with everything said above. I have a new version (bought last Oct), but I didn’t get the all terrain wheels. I may at some point because as @etgetc noted I do have to pop it over some curbs/uneven sidewalks, but it’s so light and easy to maneuver that it really doesn’t bother me. And it comes standard with a parent cup holder as well as child snack and cup holders and belly bar which are extra add-ons for the higher priced strollers.

I also have the Zoe Tour. It’s pretty much taken over as our everyday stroller. Had it almost a year now. Definitely easy to maneuver for public transit.

We have taken our Zoe, with the original small wheels, to Europe a few times. It works fine!

We have the Guava and love it! We had the car seat attachment as well and it worked out great for us. It’s supposedly the smallest of the jogging strollers, and it does fold up nice and neat, but it’s still quite heavy and cumbersome to fold and carry around, so we still ended up getting a compact travel stroller (a Zoe), especially because I don’t think the Guava would be practical for air travel. Just want to point out that you definitely don’t have to get more than 1 stroller to start! You can always get a jogger and see how it works for you, and then add a travel stroller if you feel you need it later. If I had to pick just 1, I’d definitely pick the Guava over our travel stroller for everyday use though. 

We have the Zoe, been using it for months, I did not know about the weight limit and have definitely put much more than that in the basket 🤷

There’s definitely an overwhelming amount of options… You can definitely do a combo one that’s the car seat and stroller like the Doona. I think this is best for people who live in big cities or travel a lot. I personally don’t think they’re worth it.. you gotta buy a new car seat and stroller when they get bigger. You could get a bigger, travel system which is a good deal. Something like an UPPABaby vista or a mockingbird for a more budget friendly option with a car seat adapter is very nice. These also usually have options for a bassinet or an infant insert so you don’t always have to use the car seat! They’re very nice strollers with lots of storage, high weight limits, lots of accessories and can really last you a long time. The downside is they are pricey and often very heavy/take up a lot of trunk space! Another option is a travel stroller. Many people use these for every day!! There’s many options these days.. some top ones are the Zoe line, Buggaboo Butterfly, UPPAbaby Minu.. there’s many more. These sometimes can be used with a car seat, are often under 20 pounds, fold compactly, are great for toddlers, great for travel, more budget friendly! Downsides are often not best for infants unless it’s one with a car seat adapter, have less storage and not as many bells and whistles. So.. I chose 2. I went with the Mockingbird which is so nice and we love it. It’s great for babies with all the attachments. Worked with our Chico Key fit car seat and is a nice push! Adjustable handle bar was nice since my husband is a lot taller than me. But it’s really heavy for my small frame and took up my whole SUV trunk. So I also got the Zoe Tour. It’s also amazing!! It’s 13 pounds, folds flat, takes up a fraction of my trunk, great for travel and my toddler loves the snack tray and being able to sit fully upright. I keep that one in the trunk and the Mockingbird in the garage for walks. Lastly, check out The Stroller Mom on Instagram or YouTube! She does full videos comparing strollers and doing in-depth reviews of the most popular brands! That’s how I picked my two!! Good luck!

Zoe is our main stroller and we frequent Disney multiple times a month. You need to buy the stroller bag and also I don’t recommend overloading your stroller with too much shit anyway because you will need to fold it for transport. But as an everyday it is a dream. We use it for travel all the time. The Nuna having seats that are diff sizes blows my mind. It’s not made for longevity.

Second the Zoe travel stroller. When you’re done with the Doona, you will need something quick and easy for when the baby outgrows it and you’re transferring between a convertible car seat and stroller. It will take you beyond Disney and that’s really important.

Love the Uppababy Minu. The V3 has some nice upgrade features from the first two iterations. It’s so much smoother than my mountain buggy nano or Zoe stroller and the recline is close to flat. Underbasket is a little small but we’ve managed to pack it for two kids under 3-4 for Disney park days.

We love our travel stroller. It’s our main everyday bc folding it is so easy. The UB Minu v1. Considering the V3 once it’s out. It doesn’t meet your price but it’s so smooth and sturdy. Underbasket storage isn’t huge but I learned to pack efficiently. We’ve flown and cruised with it a bunch. Fits in the overhead bin - we’ve always used the branded backpack. There are probably Minu V2s on sale, which are almost exactly the same. Edit: we also have the Zoe travel version which is basically a Minu dupe. It’s held up extremely well and the brake is a little sticky but otherwise we love it. We keep it at my sister’s house in FL and it’s our main Disney stroller.

I really like my Zoe tour for what you’re looking for! It drives nicely, folds up small-ish, and doesn’t weigh a ton. I use it as a travel stroller because we have a Cruz at home that I love but don’t want to lug around when we travel.

Definitely look into the Zoe or the Baby Jogger Citi mini (not sure where you’re located but I can easily find a used double Baby Jogger in my area) Wagons aren’t worth flying with because most airlines won’t count it as a stroller and won’t gate check it for you, and will charge you for it as well. I also highly suggest bringing the baby carrier with you as well.

we used either a zoe or a $20 cosco (not costco) umbrella stroller

my UB cruz won’t fit in my car so we used a zoe as a travel stroller. also have a $20 umbrella stroller for airports. you’ll end up with multiple strollers regardless.

we never used our UB stroller a s defaulted to the zoe or umbrella. sold the UB for a good ROI. it didn’t even fit in my car.

UB stroller (never fit in the trunk), UB infant seat (loved), graco slim fit 3in1 (used 1-5 rear facing). just got another slim graco for forward facing. preferred my zoe travel stroller for the trunk. i have a hatchback car.
