I haven't used it a a double though. I've seen the city mini and I can't imagine pushing something so tiny around. Both DH and I are tall and love that the BReady fits our stride. lamariniere on "Have you had stroller regret?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-had-stroller-regret#post-1305430 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 01:28:17 +0000 lamariniere 1305430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope! We've had two different strollers for two kids. The Maclaren Techno XT for DS and a Bugaboo Buffalo for DD. Since the kids were born in different cities, I think we picked the right stroller for our lifestyle in each city.

The only thing that concerns me is the weight of the stroller - the reviews make the Versa out to be a lot heavier than the Mini. Normally not a big deal, but we've started taking LO on the subway in his stroller, and being able to pick him up in the stroller has been nice. Definitely something to think about though. yin on "Have you had stroller regret?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-had-stroller-regret#post-1305074 Sat, 28 Dec 2013 19:55:52 +0000 yin 1305074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Wish I started out with an umbrella stroller from the beginning. I don't like heavy, bulky strollers and prefer using the Uppababy G-Luxe now. With two kids, I'm holding off on getting a double stroller until it's necessary. hilsy85 on "Have you had stroller regret?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-had-stroller-regret#post-1304969 Sat, 28 Dec 2013 19:00:45 +0000 hilsy85 1304969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope love the ub vista! No regrets but I guess we'll see when #2 comes along HLK208 on "Have you had stroller regret?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-had-stroller-regret#post-1304903 Sat, 28 Dec 2013 18:05:03 +0000 HLK208 1304903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Baby Boy Mom: I have to agree. There's absolutely NO perfect double :( my double bob is smooth but huge and bulky. My city mini double wasn't smooth. My b-ready makes a weird noise every time we use it (like every step I take) which I should call about but it's not as easy to maneuver as my bob, especially with the second seat.

We have both a single and double BOB that we use as everyday strollers as well as for walks/jogs and I love them.

We have the City Select and I like some things about it but it is heavy and very awkward to fold up, plus it's massive as a double (which is why we bought it). I'm glad we got it but I wish is gotten it off Craigslist instead of buying it new... looch on "Have you had stroller regret?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-had-stroller-regret#post-1304503 Sat, 28 Dec 2013 12:37:21 +0000 looch 1304503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I did! I feel like I wanted a stroller that didn't exist. matador84 on "Have you had stroller regret?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-had-stroller-regret#post-1304478 Sat, 28 Dec 2013 12:18:59 +0000 matador84 1304478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. Bee: Are you done using a double now that Charlie is older?

I bought most of our strollers used and then sold them so I didn't really lose much (or anything). The City Mini, City Mini Double, Combi Double Sport, Snap and Go have been good to us! loveisstrange on "Have you had stroller regret?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-had-stroller-regret#post-1304447 Sat, 28 Dec 2013 11:53:29 +0000 loveisstrange 1304447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Love my City Mini too. swedishfish on "Have you had stroller regret?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-had-stroller-regret#post-1304430 Sat, 28 Dec 2013 11:34:34 +0000 swedishfish 1304430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Beehive: what about the City Versa? <a href="http://www.babyjogger.com/city_versa_sngl_dtl.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.babyjogger.com/city_versa_sngl_dtl.aspx</a> Beehive on "Have you had stroller regret?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-had-stroller-regret#post-1304405 Sat, 28 Dec 2013 11:18:51 +0000 Beehive 1304405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm very meh about my City Mini. On the one hand, I love how lightweight it is without being an umbrella stroller, and LOVE the one-handed fold-in-half (and don't know if I could live without that). However, we're not loving the 3 wheels (I think 4 would be easier to maneuver), really wish there was more storage space underneath, and I wish the seat had a choice of facing out or facing me. I haven't found a great alternative though.

My DH is like that!! When he went back to work when LO was 3 weeks old, it was the first time I had ever pushed the pushchair!! We had had the opposite to @sarac: . We bought a bulky travel system and the pushchair bit takes up the entire car boot! It's not heavy to push - and has loads of storage - but we are currently shopping around for a little lightweight buggy (umbrella stroller). I'm glad we will also have the big one though - we will keep it in the loft and bring it out if we need it! illumina on "Have you had stroller regret?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-had-stroller-regret#post-1304108 Sat, 28 Dec 2013 04:18:33 +0000 illumina 1304108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Kind of. We bought one that converts from a lying down pram to a seated position. Turns out it's so much easier to use the Ergo, so we should have just bought a sitting up pushchair when we needed it. singingbee on "Have you had stroller regret?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-had-stroller-regret#post-1304011 Sat, 28 Dec 2013 00:06:03 +0000 singingbee 1304011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We haven't used our stroller just yet because we are still using the snap and go. I know we will love our stroller because it is almost the same as the snap and go and we LOVE the snap and go. Graco. lolabee on "Have you had stroller regret?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-had-stroller-regret#post-1303986 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 23:30:35 +0000 lolabee 1303986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I was thinking I did. Not for the fact of not liking my stroller - I love it but I didn't get near as much use out of it as I thought I would; I babywear way more. I do believe it will be used a lot more when we have two, or when my LO is way to heavy to be worn. It is a City Select, for reference and I joke that it's the Cadillac of strollers! sarac on "Have you had stroller regret?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-had-stroller-regret#post-1303980 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 23:20:20 +0000 sarac 1303980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Hugely. I was all into baby wearing and was totally opposed to strollers. Well, I gave myself a back injury carrying my daughter past the strength I already had. Then I bought a lightweight stroller thinking it was 'just for a few months'. Then she didn't walk until 16 months. And even now, at 27 months, she won't walk for two or three miles like I regularly do. So we still end up using it often, except that now I wish it were more comfortable and carried more. So basically I wish it were a real, normal stroller. twoofeverything on "Have you had stroller regret?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-had-stroller-regret#post-1303962 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 22:55:59 +0000 twoofeverything 1303962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have the double City Select and I've mostly loved it. I'm annoyed by having to install/uninstall the 2nd seat each time I fold it up, but everything else is great. I've really preferred it to the side-by-sides because I can fit through doorways and not have to worry about them batting at each other and stealing one another's toys! sandy on "Have you had stroller regret?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-had-stroller-regret#post-1303951 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 22:49:52 +0000 sandy 1303951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @shopaholic: we have the piggyback attachment and she loves it already bc it's like a scooter for her. When I get KU with #2 I'll have to get the rumble seat l but I don't think LO #1 will be using a stroller much at 3 years old birdofafeather on "Have you had stroller regret?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-had-stroller-regret#post-1303945 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 22:44:49 +0000 birdofafeather 1303945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ i love my city select and i know i will love it more with #2!

LO is almost three months old and getting heavy in her car seat, so I wish I had a stand alone stroller (other than my BOB) that she could be in and fit in my car. shopaholic on "Have you had stroller regret?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-had-stroller-regret#post-1303928 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 22:09:58 +0000 shopaholic 1303928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @sandy: The same! Love my UBV for now. Not sure about if/when we have a #2, if the rumble seat will be good enough.

Then Lo hated the bassinet anyway so I wondered if the narrower Cruz would have been better. THEN we got a foot of snow and the bigger wheels on the vista made me happy with the decision again! sandy on "Have you had stroller regret?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-had-stroller-regret#post-1303915 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 22:01:01 +0000 sandy 1303915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have the UBV and love it. I am worried it might not work out as a double but my LO is 24 months and no regrets so far yerpie110 on "Have you had stroller regret?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-had-stroller-regret#post-1303913 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 21:54:18 +0000 yerpie110 1303913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have the UB Cruz and love it!
