The filters are cheap and easy to replace and the tanks stay clean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/humidifier-that-is-easy-to-clean#post-2814097 Tue, 03 Apr 2018 19:19:25 +0000 SweetiePie 2814097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also hate the crane. Just got this for baby 2 and will probably get another for my 3yos room when he’s sick.<br /> Has a filter and tank can be put in dishwasher. Or has a very large opening if you want to hand wash.<br /> Can get on amazon or jet.com. </p> <p><a href="https://www.honeywellpluggedin.com/humidifiers/shop/honeywell-cool-moisture-germ-free-humidification" rel="nofollow">https://www.honeywellpluggedin.com/humidifiers/shop/honeywell-cool-moisture-germ-free-humidification</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/humidifier-that-is-easy-to-clean#post-2814095 Tue, 03 Apr 2018 19:17:13 +0000 Mamag511 2814095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms.Mermaid: 👍 always a good thing!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/humidifier-that-is-easy-to-clean#post-2813946 Tue, 03 Apr 2018 10:54:13 +0000 hellobeeboston 2813946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with @Mamag511: </p> <p>I just bought this one in the Fall and it's been really easy to keep clean </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/humidifier-that-is-easy-to-clean#post-2813801 Mon, 02 Apr 2018 19:30:02 +0000 Ms.Mermaid 2813801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamag511: oooh and a good price point! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/humidifier-that-is-easy-to-clean#post-2813797 Mon, 02 Apr 2018 19:13:14 +0000 Mamag511 2813797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vicks Filter-free, Ultrasonic, Visible Cool Mist Humidifier for Medium rooms <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F8MJXMG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_IBSWAbC70PXG9" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F8MJXMG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_IBSWAbC70PXG9</a></p> <p>Just bought this one to replace my crane (I hated mine for the same reasons as you!)

I was registering for kid 2 and saw a dishwasher safe model that I stuck on there but I thought I would ask if anyone has an easy to clean cool mist humidifier you would recommend.

We got a deal on the Pipa and Pepp so went for it. I didn’t want to deal with another bulky stroller so this will serve as the lightweight infant “snap and go” for us. Sorry you didn’t like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lightweight-stroller-compatible-with-nuna-pipa#post-2811610 Sat, 24 Mar 2018 06:02:22 +0000 Ms.Mermaid 2811610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChiCalGoBee: coming back to say I finally got to test drive a Pepp and I am not impressed. It was kind of clunky, none of the adjustments/open/close mechanisms were intuitive, the basket is tiny, and the seat is pretty shallow so my 3 year old had trouble sitting in it. Also it has this super annoying feature of the waistbest where all the pieces come apart so it can be a 3 point harness as well as a 5 point harness but it’s so annoying to have to do the extra step of putting the waist belt together every time. </p> <p>I think I’m going with the Mountain Buggy nano but I want to test drive one first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lightweight-stroller-compatible-with-nuna-pipa#post-2807658 Sun, 04 Mar 2018 22:48:21 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2807658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms.Mermaid: Just left a message on your wall! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lightweight-stroller-compatible-with-nuna-pipa#post-2807656 Sun, 04 Mar 2018 22:33:13 +0000 Ms.Mermaid 2807656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChiCalGoBee: The stroller they had was the MIXX and it was okay but I guess for $500 I kind of expect the stroller to push itself... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lightweight-stroller-compatible-with-nuna-pipa#post-2807655 Sun, 04 Mar 2018 22:32:07 +0000 Ms.Mermaid 2807655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChiCalGoBee: I'm so annoyed - the store is closing/moving and they already moved their floor model, so I couldn't test it. They had one in a box and it's 30% off, so I'm really tempted to just buy it and return it if I hate it. Our first ultrasound is tomorrow and I'm definitely not buying a $200 stroller until I know if this baby is happening, so I might go later this week. I did test drive the heavier Nuna stroller they had and it was pretty good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lightweight-stroller-compatible-with-nuna-pipa#post-2807567 Sun, 04 Mar 2018 09:21:15 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2807567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms.Mermaid: Would you mind telling me how you like it? I tried Nordstrom and Pottery Barn baby and neither had it on the floor. My main question is if you have to undo the adapters every time you want to fold it, and how maneuverable/light it feels. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lightweight-stroller-compatible-with-nuna-pipa#post-2807555 Sun, 04 Mar 2018 07:17:16 +0000 Ms.Mermaid 2807555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChiCalGoBee: we have a local bougie baby store that has it so I’m going to go check it out today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lightweight-stroller-compatible-with-nuna-pipa#post-2807479 Sat, 03 Mar 2018 17:12:05 +0000 SweetiePie 2807479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChiCalGoBee: I might be really wrong but I THINK pottery barn kids now sells Nuna products in store. I know they had the pipa the last time I went to one because that’s how I checked it out in person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lightweight-stroller-compatible-with-nuna-pipa#post-2807461 Sat, 03 Mar 2018 15:30:11 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2807461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: I tried that today at Nordstrom-so lightweight!<br /> @Ms.Mermaid: Have you found anywhere that has the Pepp in person to check out? I’m having the hardest time tracking it down. Tons of places sell it online but I’d love to see it in person before buying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lightweight-stroller-compatible-with-nuna-pipa#post-2807247 Fri, 02 Mar 2018 14:40:27 +0000 Ms.Mermaid 2807247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I’m getting the Nuna Pepp or Mountain Buggy Nano - we have a cybex Aton, so same adapter, and lightweight and easy to fold is important. We’re keeping our Bob for once we’re out of the car seat stage, so I’m looking for a stroller we can basically use as an umbrella stroller. Also I’m not bothering with a running board - we’ll probably just have our 4yo sit on the front of the Bob if we need to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lightweight-stroller-compatible-with-nuna-pipa#post-2807082 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 21:19:32 +0000 Littlebit7 2807082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChiCalGoBee: I’m not sure if I read your response right but the seat on the indie can’t be removed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lightweight-stroller-compatible-with-nuna-pipa#post-2807078 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 20:34:14 +0000 MACSUNSHINE 2807078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chicalgobee I am going to an Indie Twin this time around in addition to the Cruz, the Cruz is really my expensive snap and go. I just find the jogger/all terrain to be more useful for our lifestyle. Like you we have the single bob but the compatibility is an issue. GL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lightweight-stroller-compatible-with-nuna-pipa#post-2807075 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 20:16:13 +0000 SweetiePie 2807075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just had my 2nd babe and we also got the Nuna Pipa. And we got the Babyzen Yoyo with adapters for the Pipa. Used that combo for the first time today (in and out of NYC taxis) and it was great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lightweight-stroller-compatible-with-nuna-pipa#post-2807072 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 19:35:02 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2807072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit7: Awesome. Absolutely awesome. Thanks so much for all this info. There are actually a few Bumbleride Indies in the area for sale, so I might check those out. I love that you can take the seat out so it can "just" be a carseat stroller for when she's little (without having to lug the extra seat). The rider board would be great for my son, too. Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lightweight-stroller-compatible-with-nuna-pipa#post-2806997 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 14:27:42 +0000 Littlebit7 2806997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe a bumbleride indie with a board? They make a nuna adapter. I had the older model with my first kid. The push is awesome since it has air tires. Bumbleride also makes a board. The stroller weighs about 20 lbs (its not what I would call lightweight but I think thats about as light as you can go while still accepting a board and not veering into "Travel stroller" territory.<br /> I have the thule mentioned upthread. I haven't used it with the adapter and i do love it, but I don't think it would take a board since there isn't really a place for the kids head to go (there is a metal bar between the handlebar). But generally speaking, its awesome. The BJ summit x3 has an even smaller and easier fold.<br /> You could also consider a snap and go for the early days? I got a used maxi taxi which I really like. I leave it in the car. The nuns snaps right in and the basket is large.<br /> Or last option: super light but not great push would be the yoyo plus adapters for the pipa. It takes a board (but looks sorta wonky). Its really lightweight and you could travel with it. They also make a bassinet </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lightweight-stroller-compatible-with-nuna-pipa#post-2806981 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 14:03:19 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2806981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@agold: Thanks! I didn't know about that one! I could then sell the Bob and use that as a jogging stroller, which would be a great space (and cost) saver! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lightweight-stroller-compatible-with-nuna-pipa#post-2806973 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 13:47:44 +0000 agold 2806973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChiCalGoBee: If you wanted to stick with something like the Bob, check out the Thule Urban Glide. It has a nuna car seat adapter. And its lighter than the bob with an easier fold, i think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lightweight-stroller-compatible-with-nuna-pipa#post-2806970 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 13:46:08 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2806970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MACSUNSHINE: Thanks for the feedback. I'm considering the Cruz-I need to test it out. Easy folding and a dream to push big pros! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lightweight-stroller-compatible-with-nuna-pipa#post-2806940 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 12:41:34 +0000 MACSUNSHINE 2806940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No real advice, I will be using the Nuna Pipa with our second baby and plan to continue to use the Uppabay Cruz with it. However I don't consider the Cruz to be very light weight but the ride on board is nice. Nuna does make a lightweight stroller but I'm not sure if you can attach a ride on board.</p> <p>The Cruz is great but it may be more stroller than you want. It folds easily and is a dream to push. Hopefully others will chime in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lightweight-stroller-compatible-with-nuna-pipa#post-2806931 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 12:11:26 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2806931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are expecting our second, and the first time around I had the Bob and used an adapter to snap our Britax seat in there. However, I didn't actually test them out together, and had no idea that both the Britax car seat and the Bob stroller together would be crazy heavy. </p> <p>I know I want the Nuna Pipa car seat (many friends have recommended it), but I'd love to hear from anyone who has one what stroller you use it with? I'm looking for something relatively lightweight that folds easily. Our son will be 3.5 when the baby is born, so one with a standing board would be great, but not necessary. Thanks in advance for recs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-new#post-2805352 Wed, 21 Feb 2018 09:00:23 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2805352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@agold: I have the green Oribel one and really like it. After buying the Oribel I saw the white Skip Hop in person at a store and preferred the thickness and quality of the Oribel plastic plus the white showed smudges.I want to say Skip Hop came with a foot rest thing in case the baby didn’t reach the ground. With the Oribel we folded up blankets underneath until LO was tall enough to stand on the ground. The Oribel converts to a toddler table and the legs stretch to become a table a 4 or 5 yr old can use too. LO uses his table to eat his meals and draw and color. The table is easy to stowaway when LO decides he wants to climb it. We bought the matching Oribel stools, but IKEA stools in white or green would work too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-new#post-2805244 Tue, 20 Feb 2018 16:13:30 +0000 agold 2805244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: Good to hear you like the binxy baby hammock. That's one of the things on my list to get for baby #2. (I had baby #1 less than two years ago, but there are still new cool things!)</p> <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I plan to get the Skip Hop version of the actvity center you posted. Do you have either of those? </p>
