@heartonastring: just curious---what do you mean when you say parent facing option? I have a B ready too, and I've only used it as parent-facing so far.

@heartonastring: Ha ha. Okay. I was totally confused, too.

Honestly? I would get a B-READY before I got a Bugaboo. It's about 1/2 the price and I like it better. I have the B-Ready and my BFF has the Bugaboo... she says she does not like how low the seat sits... plus she likes the second seat options on the B-Ready. But I am totally biased because I LOVE my stroller (almost as much as I love Subscribe and Save, which is my other passion of the day...).

I FREAKING LOVE IT! Honestly I use it every.day. We walk everywhere, so it is like my car. I am tall, so I needed something that would have a raised bar. LO begs to go in it and loves to sleep in it (=priceless!) DH loves it as well- it is easy to use... I got it because I only wanted one stroller and it has been a great purchase.

@heartonastring: these are the pros and cons that I saw when I looked at the bugaboo:
cons: you have to take the seat off to fold it; this could be annoying if you are folding it on a regular basis to put it in a car or store it. It also doe not stand upright when folded.
- I felt like the seat was low--I'm 5'7" and I felt like I had to hunch over to reach the baby in the seat
- the under carriage basket is not that big
- the sunshade is not that big--most ppl I know who have one had to purchase a secondary shade to go on the hood of the stroller, or they use A&A blankets
Pros:
the suspension/push is AWESOME. It's super smooth
- it's super cute looking
- I like the hand brake and the extendable handlebar
- it's slimmer/sleeker than other strollers in the same category (vista, city select, etc)

I ultimately went with an UB vista but if I had been able to get such a great deal on a bugaboo, I might have gone with that!

I do wonder how often you'll be using the parent facing option though? your LO is over 1 right? I find that LO is generally much happier facing out, and he can climb in/out of the stroller more easily with it facing out.
