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)

Does that mean you don't already have a double?

Just sold our Donkey Bugaboo (didn't love it) to maximize the retained value and buy a cheaper double + kickboard.

If you're ok with the rumble seat idea than ub vista is your best bet.

Thanks.  Big fan of UB Vista, looking for a cheaper stroller though.

Check the returns at BuyBuyBaby, a lot of times they have great deals on used strollers that are actually just open box.

Any recommendation for a stroller that can lie flat? I'd prefer one that can face both ways if possible. Biggest consideration is to be small when folded so it can fit in my tiny trunk.

TIA
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Like I posted before, try open box from BuyBuyBaby. We got a brand new GT for $130.

Haven't seen it online. Most of them that I've been to have a section in the back of the store with a whole bunch of stuff. It's hit and miss but if you live near a few of them you'll probably be able to find something good.

Just got the UB Vista. The main attachment for car seat/bassinet/seat seems to wobble a little. Is that normal?
