Topic Wiki

I am trying to put a list together of the pro's and cons of the main bassinet strollers:

UppaBaby (UB)
PRO:
so easy to push
great basket (HUGE)
the bassinet is easy to take on and off
the wheels are easy to remove if need be
folds in a sinch
handle bar is great for tall and short people
the rumble seat lets the kid sit like a human being (not slide down)
the break is easy to push and doesnt break easily
the lay back position is great for kids who need to sleep on the go
the sun visor is a life savor
option to use with car seat (need to purchase the adapter)
fantastic customer service

con:
its wide but still easy to push
it can be heavy for some
the lock to close the stroller (it broke on mine)

You could always just give up on the graco credit, and purchase another brand carseat.
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

That means I need to buy a maxi cosi seat plus an adapter for my uppababy, totaling ~$250 with tax.

I tried getting them to replace my Uppababy that was purchased off a bed bath registry but they are telling me, and i found it on the site, that **All baby merchandise must be in the same condition/packaging in which you received it and cannot be used.
Anyone successful with this?

My review of Sit n Stroll car seat / stroller
http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=5115.msg1817579#msg1817579
This is very similar to avoid caring a car seat.

They just told me the same thing.
Anyone with a different experience recently ?
Does it pay to try again?
(I have "switched" strollers with them 2.5 years ago).

We have a Mountain buggy duet. looking to attach a board+seat to it
looking at Englacha CozyRider www.amazon.com/Englacha-2-Cozy-Rider-Black/dp/B0194QWCMY

Are they actually compatible? has anyone successfully used them together?
When the seat is attached, can you fully recline the MB seats (to lie flat for newborn)? can you attache the MB bassinet? or do they run too close to the rider seat/handlebar?

a number of doubles discussed in this thread.
Most will need some kind of adaptation of you want newborns to be lie - flat, parent - facing.

Any UBV fans that endorse it for this use-case?
