I use the BOB if we want a smoother ride but that's about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-your-full-size-stroller-after-the-little-baby-days/page/2#post-2090881 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 09:30:25 +0000 Mamasig 2090881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Now at 2.5, DS1 walks more, but before that we always took it with us on errands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-your-full-size-stroller-after-the-little-baby-days/page/2#post-2090856 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 09:17:31 +0000 Alivoo01 2090856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only take it out when we're doing a lot of walking in crowded areas or going out with our friend that has a LO that's about DS's age so we just share one stroller instead of bringing two (we have the City Select). Now that I'm preggo with #2, we're going to ditch our Chicco Liteway and go back to using the City Select full time once LO#2 is here. Definitely going to miss the ease of folding up and stowing an umbrella stroller. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-your-full-size-stroller-after-the-little-baby-days#post-2090827 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 09:08:24 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2090827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-your-full-size-stroller-after-the-little-baby-days#post-2090806 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 08:58:47 +0000 bushelandapeck 2090806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use our city select daily with DS (2.5) and DD (4 months). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-your-full-size-stroller-after-the-little-baby-days#post-2090698 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 07:48:11 +0000 californiadreams 2090698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-your-full-size-stroller-after-the-little-baby-days#post-2090696 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 07:45:03 +0000 illumina 2090696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-your-full-size-stroller-after-the-little-baby-days#post-2090693 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 07:40:25 +0000 looch 2090693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-your-full-size-stroller-after-the-little-baby-days#post-2090593 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 22:28:38 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2090593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-your-full-size-stroller-after-the-little-baby-days#post-2090545 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 21:38:58 +0000 photojane 2090545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-your-full-size-stroller-after-the-little-baby-days#post-2090536 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 21:32:03 +0000 shellio 2090536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-your-full-size-stroller-after-the-little-baby-days#post-2090530 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 21:28:23 +0000 blackbird 2090530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've only ever used an UBV. We don't use it that often </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-your-full-size-stroller-after-the-little-baby-days#post-2090487 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 20:32:59 +0000 MrsRcCar 2090487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-your-full-size-stroller-after-the-little-baby-days#post-2090425 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 19:06:41 +0000 ladybee 2090425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the b-agile and use it at the mall and get ther crowded places at 16 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-your-full-size-stroller-after-the-little-baby-days#post-2090424 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 19:04:54 +0000 Greentea 2090424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use our Bugaboo everyday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-your-full-size-stroller-after-the-little-baby-days#post-2090343 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 16:40:17 +0000 coopsmama 2090343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We still use a big stroller with our 21 month old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-your-full-size-stroller-after-the-little-baby-days#post-2090331 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 16:29:56 +0000 anonysquire 2090331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still use ours. I actually still have her in the bassinet option. Because I love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-your-full-size-stroller-after-the-little-baby-days#post-2090292 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 15:57:56 +0000 CRGmama 2090292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-your-full-size-stroller-after-the-little-baby-days#post-2090209 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 13:50:32 +0000 tinyperson 2090209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-your-full-size-stroller-after-the-little-baby-days#post-2090208 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 13:47:29 +0000 marionberry 2090208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-your-full-size-stroller-after-the-little-baby-days#post-2090201 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 13:35:01 +0000 Grace 2090201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do, but I have the b-agile which is a fairly light full stroller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-your-full-size-stroller-after-the-little-baby-days#post-2090196 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 13:32:41 +0000 rattles 2090196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still use our City Mini or Select. I don't like the umbrella one enough to use it unless we're traveling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-your-full-size-stroller-after-the-little-baby-days#post-2090188 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 13:22:46 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2090188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-your-full-size-stroller-after-the-little-baby-days#post-2090152 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 12:28:58 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2090152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use our CityMini daily. I'm glad a bought a syroller that is so easy to fold! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-your-full-size-stroller-after-the-little-baby-days#post-2090118 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 11:15:58 +0000 ShootingStar 2090118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-your-full-size-stroller-after-the-little-baby-days#post-2090110 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 11:08:39 +0000 dolphin 2090110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 26 months and we still use our Cruz. Love the big basket underneath! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-your-full-size-stroller-after-the-little-baby-days#post-2090096 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 11:02:53 +0000 travelgirl1 2090096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-your-full-size-stroller-after-the-little-baby-days#post-2090091 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 10:56:56 +0000 lamariniere 2090091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-your-full-size-stroller-after-the-little-baby-days#post-2090079 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 10:46:18 +0000 loveisstrange 2090079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-your-full-size-stroller-after-the-little-baby-days#post-2090063 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 10:27:41 +0000 catlady 2090063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p>
