Good call! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-stroller-dilemma#post-1074661 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 14:26:04 +0000 Cole 1074661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it is overkill, I voted blue because Bob's have high resale value but I think blue will probably make it easier to sell than the plum should you decide you hate jogging or whenever you are done with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-stroller-dilemma#post-1074657 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 14:25:19 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1074657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not overkill. We did it and honestly, if you can afford it (ie: not having to cut corners *just* for the stroller) then, do it. I voted plum, even though I have a son. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-stroller-dilemma#post-1074656 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 14:23:46 +0000 Periwinkle 1074656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've just added a poll to help me obsess even more! Amazon is running a sale today (!) and I cannot decide on the color, if I do choose to take the route of the BOB. Naturally, my obsessing will probably cause me to miss out on the sale! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-stroller-dilemma#post-1074638 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 14:15:15 +0000 bushelandapeck 1074638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Britax Be Agile (similar to city mini) and I just bought a second hand Bob from another mom so I can start running with LO. I wanted a jogging stroller but couldn't commit to the full proce, so this was a nice compromise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-stroller-dilemma#post-1074628 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 14:12:39 +0000 edelweiss 1074628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i don't think that's overkill. i've considered getting a bob in addition to our umbrella stroller. i just haven't made the commitment to exercise :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-stroller-dilemma#post-1074603 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 14:06:00 +0000 Periwinkle 1074603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks both for your responses!</p> <p>@Bluebonnet: Do you travel at all with your City Mini? We do not have an umbrella stroller right now and I worry that we would have too many "heavy duty" strollers and not a light-enough weight one. I guess the CM could be a good traveler, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-stroller-dilemma#post-1074471 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 13:23:53 +0000 Bluebonnet 1074471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a City Mini and a Bob. I don't think its overkill. Our day to day stroller is the City Mini. We run with the Bob.</p> <p>FWIW - the Bob is massive and heavy (especially compared to the City Mini). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-stroller-dilemma#post-1074396 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 12:59:34 +0000 avivoca 1074396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a snap-and-go and a BOB. I haven't used either yet since my baby is still cooking, but our BOB is older and we couldn't find a car seat adapter that would fit our seat. I don't think it's redundant. Jogging strollers are beastly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-stroller-dilemma#post-1074392 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 12:58:12 +0000 Periwinkle 1074392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Help! Stroller dilemma! </p> <p>We currently have a City Mini GT which we LOVE but I've been thinking that I would like to start jogging with LO. Do you think it's redundant to have both our City Mini and a BOB or other jogging stroller? I really like the City Mini and don't want to get rid of that (it's a great everyday stroller for us)... I just feel like one more stroller might be overkill...</p> <p>All opinions are appreciated! </p>
