I noticed that I have no tolerance for anything heavier than our umbrella strollers or a carrier now that LO is almost 9 months and never take the Cruz out. So I'm planning to purge but I was curious if there are circumstances when I'd really need it. FWIW we'd still have a BOB for terrain situations.
-
LO is 27 months and we still use the city mini nearly every day. It's just so much easier to push around than the umbrella stroller. But I do use the umbrella for riding the subway.
-
We have a Britax bagile and I used it several times a day with my almost 2 year old. I like that it rides smooth and has places to put things so it's worth it to me. It stays in my trunk though so I just pull it out when I need it. Now that we have a newborn I see myself using the wrap and putting lo in a cart instead when we are running errands. ...the double stroller is nice to have but it's a beast.
-
We use ours almost every day (ub vista) but the ride is much smoother and I love the storage vs our umbrella. However I think many ppl switch exclusively to an umbrella once the kid is old enough for one.
-
Yeah because it has a basket underneath to put the diaper bag etc.
-
We still use our Bumbleride Indie quite a bit getting to the park and such.
-
I use it all the time but we live in a city and the stroller kind of functions as my car. I like the storage space, one handed steering, and smoother handling. I admittedly have an "upgraded umbrella" stroller (a Babyzen Yoyo) that is pretty convenient in the summer, but the wheels of that can't cut it in the snow at the moment.
-
I ditched my stroller for an umbrella shortly after LO turned 1. Wish I had started out with the umbrella to begin with because a regular stroller was too big for my needs.
-
I rarely use either of my strollers (Bumbleride Flyer and BOB). I'm thinking about selling the bumbleride and keeping the BOB for the times when I want to run with the baby.
-
We walk for our commute and I much prefer using the full stroller--more storage space, smoother, etc--but on daycare days we use an umbrella becuase there isn't much room to store the stroller at daycare. But we use the Cruz on other days when we go out, unless we're taking the subway/bus or going somewhere where it'd be easier just to wear her. But, I prefer the stroller so I can carry more (too heavy to wear her and the diaper bag!)
-
We have a Cruz and an umbrella (G luxe) and I can't remember the last time I used the Cruz. We use the umbrella for everything since most of the time DD loves to walk so we just need something light to push around if she wants to rest. We do have a BOB for exercise/trails. I'm keeping our Cruz for DD#2 though...I want to use it again with the car seat adapter.
-
we have the g-luxe, and it's all we've used since she was 6 months old.
-
We had the car seat frame then switched to the umbrella when LO went to a convertible. We never used a big stroller and honestly, LO hated the umbrella stroller so much that I either carried him, put him in a shopping cart, let him walk, or used the toddler Tula.
-
I actually upgraded our stroller when LO was around 12 months because we use our stroller every day (when there's room on the sidewalks...right now snow is making it difficult, but it is a weird year). We went from a city mini to a city select. But we live in the city and have a walking commute to daycare so it was worth it to us. We also have a lightweight umbrella stroller for travel and I anticipate we will use that more when she is older.
-
She'll be 3 in a month and we still use our City Mini. Not often, but we do. I purposely bought a lightweight stroller from the start, though.
-
I use our Bugaboo every day. But we don't have a car, so it's like a car for me. Our Maclaren is now for travel only.
-
I use our UBV daily and she is 27 months. But we live in a city and walk everywhere, plus we need the big wheels to get through the snow and the big basket for groceries.
-
DD is 26 months and we still use our Cruz. Love the big basket underneath!
-
We rarely use the b-ready these days and prefer the b-agile. I'm not sure I could ever go full on umbrella stroller as our only stroller though. But I'm really glad we got the b-agile - it's so much lighter and easier to maneuver.
-
We use our CityMini daily. I'm glad a bought a syroller that is so easy to fold!
-
I think it depends on where you live. When we visit family in the suburbs we don't really need anything more than an umbrella stroller. We live in the city though, so I need my full size to handle the bumpy sidewalks and carry all my stuff.
-
I still use our City Mini or Select. I don't like the umbrella one enough to use it unless we're traveling.
-
I do, but I have the b-agile which is a fairly light full stroller.
-
We go back and forth between months of using our umbrella and months of using our bumbleride flyer. I think they both have their place depending on what we're up to and the stage of life ds is in.
-
All the time - we live in an urban area and walk everywhere (in fact our car wouldn't start yesterday because it has been so cold and we haven't driven anywhere to let the car warm up - battery died!). We use our G-Luxe just for trips where we know we might have to carry it up stairs or it's going to be really crowded.
-
We use our UBV everyday when we take our dog for a walk. We don't really use it for target trips now that he can sit in the cart, but if we are going to the mall or something on the weekend then we use it. LO just turned one.
-
I still use ours. I actually still have her in the bassinet option. Because I love it.
-
We still use a big stroller with our 21 month old.
-
We use our Bugaboo everyday.
-
We have the b-agile and use it at the mall and get ther crowded places at 16 months.
-
We use the double when we are at the childrens hospital or doctors. Otherwise we use an umbrella and a carrier. Our diaper bag is a backpack so easy to stow. Our double is huge and heavy but nice.
-
I've only ever used an UBV. We don't use it that often
-
I have a 1 and a 3 year old and we use our City Select almost daily. But, we live in a walkable neighborhood and that's what we use it for, day to day activities walking around the neighborhood. I could probably count on one hand the number of times we have taken it in the car. If you know how you use it and the umbrella is more functional for you, purge away!
-
We live in suburbia, so the only times we need a stroller are for traveling, outings (zoo, etc.), or all day shopping. In all of those circumstances I prefer the "big" stroller because of the basket. We can't walk to anything from our house. If we go for a walk in the neighborhood, Sadie prefers to walk/run.
-
We had one that my parents bought (it'd been at their house out of town for a long time) but we barely used it. We had a snap n go, a BOB and a Maclaren umbrella stroller that we used much more often. If we had had a nicer regular stroller we would have though. If this pregnancy goes well I think we'll get a standard stroller.
-
No, once we packed it up at age 2, it has been away for good...but we also moved, which meant that I went from living in a walkable city to the suburbs with a car. Had we stayed where we were, I am sure we'd still be using the stroller, because it acted like my car, even if I was pushing it along empty.
-
No. We stopped using it at 6 months once we were done using the bassinet part of the big stroller. We use our Maclaren all the time now.
-
yes, i have the UBV and i use it for when i am out for the day without a car. It hold all my stuff and then it gives LO two choices if he doesn't want to walk or if i need to get somewhere quick and i don't want him to walk! stroller or be worn. I use it much less in the winter though.
-
We use our city select daily with DS (2.5) and DD (4 months).
-
If you still have a BOB, then I'd say you're set. We use our BOB as our everyday stroller. LO is 2.5 now and we haven't used it since he was 2 except when he wants to go for a run with us.
