And they are cheaper :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strollers-in-condos-with-stairs#post-592344 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 15:18:48 +0000 Foodnerd81 592344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are moving to an apt on the second floor, but with two flights of stairs. We have a spot in the garage where we can leave the stroller though which was key for me (I was preg when we started looking so it was ver much on my mind).<br /> I've heard the city mini is best for that since it is so light and the fold and unfold is SO easy- I practiced it in the store. I think as long as you can fold it and hang it or slide it next to the other one you'd be fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strollers-in-condos-with-stairs#post-592084 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 13:59:59 +0000 LindsayInNY 592084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>*Bump* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strollers-in-condos-with-stairs#post-590322 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 16:38:46 +0000 red_seattle 590322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our apartment when X was born was upstairs. We bought the Uppababy G-lite because it's so light and easy to carry up and downstairs. There's a strap so you can carry it over your shoulder up and down stairs, and you could hang it on a hook using the strap too. It can stand upright when folded, so it was really easy to store, if you don't want to hang it on a hook--- so shelving isn't necessary. The downside is that since it's an umbrella style, we couldn't use it until X was 6 months. That wasn't a problem though since we wore X in a baby carrier until then anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strollers-in-condos-with-stairs#post-590278 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 16:05:28 +0000 LindsayInNY 590278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're in the process of buying a condo that's a fourth floor walk up. There's a storage room in the basemen where we can store one bike or stroller. But it looks like itd be a hassle to store and lock it. We're TTC too but when the time comes, I think we'll look for a lightweight stroller to carry upstairs. The condos current residents have a 2 1/2 year old and they said it was never an issue with the stroller! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strollers-in-condos-with-stairs#post-590233 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 15:18:38 +0000 ChitownRo 590233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Thanks. I'll have to look into those models. I'm holding off into actually looking at strollers until I get my BFP -- don't want to jinx it. But sounds like a good solution. I'm also considering storing it in the trunk of our car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strollers-in-condos-with-stairs#post-590220 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 15:07:58 +0000 hilsy85 590220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You probably want something lightweight and easy to fold, like the city mini! i think Mr&amp;Mrs Bee have it, and they have stairs to their apt in NYC. Or a stroller like that or the britax b agile can be folded and hung from a hook on the wall, if you can install something like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strollers-in-condos-with-stairs#post-590205 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 14:59:31 +0000 ChitownRo 590205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi all -<br /> My DH are actively TTC and also house hunting for condos in Chicago. Do any of you have to deal with stairs with your stroller? One place that we like is on the 3rd floor of a "3 flat." I'm concerned about the 2 flights of stairs,my husband, notso much.</p> <p> There is a small vestibule for our 3 mail boxes and I noticed a stroller folded in the corner. There isn't much space, storing two of them upright in the corner may be a challenge. Do you know of any shelving that is good for stroller storage? I guess I could DIY but neither DH nor I are handy...</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
