I can basically argue either side with myself now, haha :)</p> <p>@SweetiePie: For what it is, I think the Yoyo is incredibly overpriced...I would not have bought it if I hadn't received a very generous gift voucher from DH's office a few weeks after DD2 was born (and we already had everything we "needed")...but I do love it. It's so nice to be able to carry it right onto the plane - no one even realizes I've got a stroller in my shoulder bag. Even on the tiny regional jets/prop planes (1-2 seat configuration), it will fit under the seats on the 2 seat side. </p> <p>@catlady: Good point about the weight limit - I think you're right, it's about 40 lbs. DD1 is very light (28 lbs at 3 years) but average height. She is looking giant in the Cameleon these days. I should check her in the Maclaren to see how the head room is vs. the Yoyo, particularly since DD2 is in a higher height percentile, so will probably grow taller faster.</p> <p>Eek. I WANT to sell just because I'm in massive clean-out mode, but probably will hold off because I don't think I'll get much for it - UppaBaby umbrella strollers seem to be a lot more popular around here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keep-or-sell-second-umbrella-stroller#post-2182845 Tue, 19 May 2015 09:54:01 +0000 SweetiePie 2182845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you have the storage and don't need the extra cash I would keep it. Agree with what @catlady: said!</p> <p>On a sidenote, I just read about the yoyo in a newsletter and I'm really interested in it. I have the Uppababy GLuxe but I think that the yoyo might even be better for travel. My family lives a plane ride away and I go every month or two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keep-or-sell-second-umbrella-stroller#post-2182805 Tue, 19 May 2015 09:24:03 +0000 lamariniere 2182805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would sell it since you already have another travel stroller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keep-or-sell-second-umbrella-stroller#post-2182802 Tue, 19 May 2015 09:23:41 +0000 catlady 2182802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd probably hold onto it if you have the storage space. From what I know about your two umbrella strollers, the babyzen has a lower weight limit than the maclaren's. You may want the maclaren when your girls are older. Although I should say that I'm usually a big fan of selling things if you know you won't be using them anytime soon. I guess it just comes down to how much it would bug you to buy another umbrella stroller later on if you have to, and how much you could get for this one now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keep-or-sell-second-umbrella-stroller#post-2182793 Tue, 19 May 2015 09:15:34 +0000 birdofafeather 2182793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How much can you get for it? How long has been since you used it? I'd probably sell it depending on those things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keep-or-sell-second-umbrella-stroller#post-2182774 Tue, 19 May 2015 09:07:58 +0000 PinkElephant 2182774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For about the past year, I've been storing my nearly-new Maclaren Triumph in our basement. I purchased it for DD1, but received a "better" travel stroller, the Babyzen Yoyo, when DD2 was born. I've been keeping it for 3 reasons: </p> <p>(1) I have all the accessories, like a rain cover, foot muff, and stroller organizer;<br /> (2) It's gender neutral (brown) where my Babyzen is hot pink;<br /> (3) I got a great deal on it, so I'd spend more if I ever need to repurchase it</p> <p>However....I'm trying to have a big clean out, and am starting to think I'd like to sell it. I'd kept it around in case I wanted to let it be my bad weather stroller (we live in a city and the salt tends to destroy strollers in the winter) - but found it was not super easy to push in the snow compared to my other strollers. I also thought there might be some circumstance where I'd want each girl, separately, in an umbrella stroller, say for traveling, but no such situation has arisen yet. We technically have the storage space (but hate clutter), and aren't 100% sure on having #3.....we probably will, but will most likely wait a few more years.</p> <p>Currently I use a Bugaboo Cameleon as my "big" stroller for long trips and bad weather, or the BabyZen Yoyo (similar to a MountainBuggy Nano) as my travel/umbrella stroller. While it's a little heavier, I love that it folds up TINY and has a solid handlebar, so I can push it one handed with no issue. These are definitely my preferred strollers at this point.</p> <p>WWYD in this case - sell the stroller, or keep it around just in case? </p>
