We borrowed a single BOB from a family member when we went on vacation this summer and FELL IN LOVE! Now that we're pregnant with #3, and need a double, I REALLLLLY want a BOB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-do-you-covet#post-1838768 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 12:01:32 +0000 hilsy85 1838768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: I LOVE the bugaboo buffalo. If that had been out when I had LO, I would have pushed for it--it's like the perfect combo of the bugaboo cam and the UB vista. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-do-you-covet#post-1838767 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 12:00:49 +0000 X0X0X0 1838767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dreamed about the city select, whenever I saw someone with it. Prior to LO2 arrival, I was able to convince DH to purchase it for us. It is heavy but sooo worth it, because I can easily maneuver through every store aisle without a problem and this is a big deal as a stay at home mom of 2 under 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-do-you-covet#post-1838658 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 11:24:53 +0000 PurplePeony 1838658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When i was pregnant and shopping, I really loved the Bumbleride Indie in papyrus green -- I think I actually lusted over the color more than the actual stroller -- but the features weren't enough to justify the added cost over the City Mini GT, which is what we have. Now that I have some time actually using a stroller, I would go for one with the ability to flip the handle or seat so baby faces you, but I don't know exactly which stroller I'd choose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-do-you-covet#post-1838605 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 11:04:41 +0000 CRGmama 1838605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drooled over the UBV before I was even pregnant. It was my splurge baby item and was lucky enough to get it as a joint gift from our moms. I love it and it gets used everyday! Although I do recognize that it's pretty big and doesn't fold down very small. We are travelling soon so now I'm coveting the mountain buggy nano or the g-luxe. There's no way I can justify another $200 on a stroller though so not sure what we will get for that purpose as there's no way I'm bringing my precious UBV! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-do-you-covet#post-1838572 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 10:48:40 +0000 teamjse 1838572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: He was willing to try it out at home and we took it to Disneyland. He didn't sit in it once, I couldn't tell you why, but our arms hurt after that trip. He just doesn't like it, maybe he found his Orbit comforting because it's something he's familiar with.</p> <p>I actually got the Stokke Scoot brand new from the HB classifieds. I thought it was a great looking stroller. I ended up selling it to a friend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-do-you-covet#post-1838555 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 10:38:25 +0000 lamariniere 1838555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@teamjse: hmmm, your post got me thinking, I wonder if I could find a used one...? Why didn't he like the Scoot? I see lots of people with it and it is really cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-do-you-covet#post-1838551 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 10:35:17 +0000 teamjse 1838551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have an Orbit G2, LO loves the stroller, when I bought the Stokke Scoot from the HB classifieds, he refused it. </p> <p>@lamariniere I'm considering the Bugaboo Bee as our travel stroller too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-do-you-covet#post-1838533 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 10:28:35 +0000 Foodnerd81 1838533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: Honestly-- I could not lug it up the stairs with a baby. I love it, but only because we can keep it in the parking spot in our garage in our building. If we had moved to a condo where I had to bring it up the stairs it absolutely would have been a City Mini. I have bumped it up the stairs to friends' places and it's not easy (though it's so sturdy I'm not afraid it will break, at least). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-do-you-covet#post-1838531 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 10:27:14 +0000 edelweiss 1838531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i used to covet the uppababy vista but didn't get it because i knew it would be too bulky for a our needs. i like our g-luxe. it would be nice to have a tricked out stroller, but sadly it was not meant to be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-do-you-covet#post-1838529 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 10:26:44 +0000 lamariniere 1838529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I coveted the Bugaboo Buffalo until I bought it. We've had it over a year and I am soooo happy with it. We also have a Maclaren for travelling. As for current strollers, I am coveting a better travel stroller -- one that can take cobblestones better than a Maclaren. I keep seeing people with Bugaboo Bees, but there is no way we could justify two Bugaboos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-do-you-covet#post-1838522 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 10:23:14 +0000 catlady 1838522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I covet your stroller lineup! :) We bought a city mini as an all purpose stroller but sometimes I wish I had gotten one nicer large stroller like the UBV and one lightweight one for travel. The only thing stopping me from splurging on a UBV at this point is the thought of trying to lug it up the steps in and out of my house every day while holding the baby in one arm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-do-you-covet#post-1838509 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 10:14:32 +0000 keepcalmcarrie 1838509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like the City Select, but it is SO heavy. Not really sure how I'm going to manage that as I get more and more pregnant with #2. The stroller weighs 29 lbs, and J weighs 29 lbs, and my back is crying uncle.</p> <p>My real dream stroller, which will stay firmly in my daydreams because it's ridiculous, is the Silver Cross Sleepover Elegance "pram." You know, Kate Middleton's stroller. It's beautiful!! I guess if I was strolling through Kensington Palace gardens it would make sense, but not so much loading it into the dog-hair covered back seat of my Honda Pilot ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-do-you-covet#post-1838496 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 10:09:28 +0000 Beebug 1838496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was totally coveting the current model double bob until I got one. Like I did a head turn every time I saw one, got way.too.excited.</p> <p>Thank gosh I found one for a steal online classifieds, because I was going to drive myself crazy.</p> <p>I love love love it, we use both our bob's daily (wow that sounds insane.....single a gift from ILs, the double I got for $300 in next to new condition, lol) and I have a weird obsession with them. But we definitely get their value in the amount we use them and once I can run again....look out! I love "inspecting" them, reviewing the manual to make sure everything is right with them, will be funny once we are done with them to let them go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-do-you-covet#post-1838293 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 09:08:04 +0000 catomd00 1838293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: my husband HAD to have a jogging stroller. It's "his" stroller lol. Neither of us jog. I hate the damn thing! Yet he scoffs when I say we need to get an umbrella stroller, because "whyyyy do we need ANoTHER stroller?!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-do-you-covet#post-1838282 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 09:05:05 +0000 Smurfette 1838282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: mine runs but has yet to run with R. He usually runs during the week after work when traveling or after she goes to bed. Waste of money if you ask me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-do-you-covet#post-1838277 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 09:03:08 +0000 Foodnerd81 1838277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: dh has suggested a couple of times that we should get a jogging stroller (in addition to our huge ubv). Neither of us run. I don't understand him, especially since he is generally all about saving money. I think men are just into jogging strollers? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-do-you-covet#post-1838275 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 09:02:30 +0000 MrsKoala 1838275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Panda: The Origami looks really cool! That's the only stroller I'm a bit jealous of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-do-you-covet#post-1838271 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 09:00:34 +0000 Smurfette 1838271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have liked the G-Lux, but the cheaper umbrella stroller we have works just fine. DH is in love with the Bob. Thinks it is the best thing ever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-do-you-covet#post-1838266 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 08:57:17 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1838266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The 4moms Origami looks pretty awesome, but I'm not sure of the practicality of it. We have an older model B-ready from when it was on sale. Still want a B-agile for quicker trips but we'll get there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-do-you-covet#post-1838258 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 08:54:43 +0000 avivoca 1838258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like my stroller line-up (BOB Revolution and Bumbleride Flyer), but sometimes I wish I had one that folded up a little smaller. Once the Flyer is in my trunk, there is little room for anything else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-do-you-covet#post-1838254 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 08:53:12 +0000 gilmoregirl 1838254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Britax B-Agile which is just fine for what I need, but I'm on the lookout for a good secondhand running stroller now that my baby's getting bigger. A BOB Revolution, hopefully. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-do-you-covet#post-1838206 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 08:39:59 +0000 Alivoo01 1838206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I had gotten the Mountain Buggy Nano instead of the Chicco Liteway due to the way it folds up. It'd take up less real estate in my trunk and be easier for traveling. However, for the price I paid for the Chicco, I really shouldn't complain! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-do-you-covet#post-1838121 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 07:54:38 +0000 Foodnerd81 1838121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually have exactly the strollers that I want. We live in the city and hardly ever drive, so the stroller was one of the few places I splurged and got exactly what I wanted. We have the UB vista and a mountain buggy nano for travel. I do my weekly grocery shoppig with the vista and can fit everything underneath. But it's a beat to get into the trunk of y car which is where the nano comes in. So yeah I am very content with my stroller line up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-do-you-covet#post-1838118 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 07:48:47 +0000 catomd00 1838118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did so much stroller research when I was pregnant and I am still in love with my choice - contours bliss. If it had a little better wheels and suspension then it would be perfect (for me!) my mom bought it for us and wanted us to get something "better" (she is obsessed with the vista) but it was too heavy and bulky for me. Same with the city select and bugaboo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-do-you-covet#post-1838104 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 07:37:40 +0000 Ocean girl 1838104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love our BOB but would really love a Chariot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-do-you-covet#post-1838103 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 07:36:28 +0000 looch 1838103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Phil and Teds, any model! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-do-you-covet#post-1838102 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 07:36:19 +0000 Bao 1838102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not real big into any strollers. If it pushes and holds what I need it to hold I'm good :) we have a double umbrella and it works fine for our needs. I probably couldn't identify many strollers if I had to! We do have a Chicco single and that's nice too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-do-you-covet#post-1838097 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 07:32:18 +0000 Charm54 1838097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love our UBV. We have a used BOB revolution , Id like a new model (the seat looks way comfier) but for the amount of times we use it it's not worth it.</p> <p>I'd love a city mini for quick trips but dh would kill me if I got a third stroller! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-do-you-covet#post-1838092 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 07:29:11 +0000 twodoghouse 1838092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like our stroller, but I sort of wish we had gone all out and gotten the Bugaboo Donkey. I'd really like to flip the seats around to face me and the Bumbleride Indie Twin can't do that. </p>
