My biggest advise to anyone when looking for a buggy is to consider if it has a good one handed push. The compromise for me is that I have to take the wheels off to get it in my boot, but I’m happy to do this each time and it honestly only adds like 10-20 seconds extra to do this and get it in the boot. Some parts of the park are really uneven. I also go walking in my local country park several times a week and it handles that amazingly. I went into Manchester City centre yesterday with it, it was smooth on the uneven ground, handles going up and down the curbs nicely, not to big to get anywhere. Yes it’s a big buggy but it was perfect for many of the things you have just spoken about in your post. I have a Vista and live in the uk and drive a VW polo. If you get the same model of kiddo that I have, then you'll have saved yourself $500-$1000. If they like strollers, then buy a second stroller for situations where the Chicco doesn't work as well. It'll work while your baby is tiny and it won't break the bank. If I were you, I'd start with the Chicco Bravo as part of the Chicco system. When we go do things like picking fruit or nature walks, I used our backpack carrier until she walked. Instead, I used the baby carrier for pretty much everything for the first year because she tolerated it a lot better, and I've literally NEVER used our stroller in the city because it's such a hassle. But my kid hates it and we only use it for neighborhood walks. We have a Babyjogger City Mini GT2 that we got on sale. We live about an hour outside of a major city with cobblestones and often do smaller things around our local area like walks and festivals. My main recommendation is don't buy expensive stroller(s) until your kid is born and you get a good idea of what works for them as little people. Is there anyone who has a similar lifestyle or good advice for our situation? My mind is on the Chicco Bravo or Corso or even the Uppababy Cruz then something like the Bugaboo Butterfly or Babyzen Yoyo2. The more I look the more it seems we'll need 2 different strollers but I still can't figure out what to get. We also routinely go to outdoor malls and indoor malls as well.Įssentially, we have a mix of all sorts of things and everytime someone recommends a stroller it's either super lightweight which doesn't work at all for city walking on uneven ground (or nature walks) or it's the Uppababy Vista which is massive and bulky and would be tiring moving that thing in and out of a car multiple times per day/week. The majority of our time is spent using our car to get places but we like to go for 'nature walks' (dirt roads in the woods) and things like apple picking. The city is very very uneven pavement, brick and such roads. My wife and I live about 45 minutes from the city so we only go into the city once per month for the day. I've done all the research I can but I'm still stuck.
