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)

my son has outgrown his Doona & our old City Mini needs replacing

whats the current top one piece strollers for a toddler to grow into

my wife was looking at the Joolz?
How much basket space do you need? Regular / small just for day trips or enough for carrying weekly groceries?

I haven’t looked at new options in the past 3 years, but we got the City Tour in mid 2018 and still very happy with it.

Something easy to open and fold in one go, day to day use, it'll be folded in the car when not in use

I am looking for a bassinet stroller. I do not need the regular (sitting) part. What is a good and inexpensive option for that?

I just got the Joolz aer, it looks great & best thing about it is the way it collapses, one click on the thing folds into a matzah

BB&B has 20% I think. I'm looking for a deal on the Doona. Seems like that is excluded from that coupon code.

On major sale now, plus with stackable 25% sitewide on BB&B (expiring tonight) which makes it a steal of a deal!!

I really don't understand why people opt for the yoyo instead of the Joolz which strolls so smoothly, much nicer designed and is cheaper too.

Anyone have info/experience with the bugaboo lynx?
I see the fox and the bee 6 are very popular especially here in Israel however I don’t see anyone with the lynx and it seems to be the “perfect porridge” not to big and heavy like the fox but the bassinet is still bigger then the bee6

Anyone knows if the Bee 5 seat fabric and sun canopy will fit on the Bee 6?
I'm looking to buy the bee 6 but my Bee5 fabric is still in great condition.
