Hellobee Boards

Yay! Ours just arrived on Friday and we are in love with it as well We are getting the chicco keyfit 30 carseat, and we've so far registered for the cupholder, the parent organizer, rain cover for the bassinet, and the snack tray. The stroller comes with a rain cover & mosquito netting for the toddler seat, and mosquito netting for the bassinet. Can't rate them yet unfortunately

What color do you guys think you're going to get?

@jholler25: love the mica...is that one of the ones that comes with the all black frame? We went with the cole/slate--we love the blue, and I feel like it would look equally good with pink blankets and stuff later on down the line. Although UB does sell fabric sets to change the color, so who knows, maybe we'll do that if we have a little girl, lol.

@jholler25: Exactly! And I feel like the UB fabric is really conducive to staying clean--it doesn't seem like it would soak up liquids and I think it'll be easy to wipe down. Anyway, glad you made your decision and feel confident about it! I for one am so glad our stroller arrived so I can stop obsessing lol. Now I just play with it all day (not really all day. well, maybe kind of all day :P)/

@jholler25: Yes, it's like a nylon-y fabric almost. Like not at ALL rough on the skin (feels very smooth) but it's not like soft cotton where spills would seep in immediately. I haven't spilled anything on it (yet!) but it seems like liquids would bead up on top at least for a few minutes. I'm sure we'll have plenty of opportunities to test that out, lol. And yes, it terms of a long term investment, I think it is the way to go--that's what swayed me over the bugaboo--the utility of it (the rumble seat, plus the piggyback board, the ability to use the bassinet as a sleeper at night when baby is little, the massive basket, etc). And it's TOTALLY warranted to want it RIGHT THIS MINUTE, lol. I"m so impatient waiting for things to come!

We bought ours at a deep discount because we got a friends and family discount.. if we didn't have that, we would have bought a refurbished one from the factory since it's 20 mins away. The customer service is amazing. The guy who refurbishes and fixes strollers is this cool, young guy with piercings and tattoos and he threw in a snack tray for free

That being said... the absolute MUST HAVES are:

snack tray
parent organizer (or similar... there are cheaper ones by other brands like sunshine kids that work just as well)
adapter for your infant carseat

Now that we have a second baby, we will purchase a rumble seat and maybe the ridealong board. I'm trying to score them used on craigslist. If I can't, I'll purchase with registry completion from Amazon.

Unneeded:
Covers for bassinet (we rarely use it outside of the house, and if we ever did, we'd just use a blanket or something)
Cup holder (parent organizer is much better since it can hold two cups, or a cup and a bottle/sippy cup, your cell phone, your wallet, etc.)

I am NOT going to go look at the new pink color. Now that we have a little girl I would be way too tempted.... (we have a red one)

@jholler25: yup, that was our intention, to make the vista our one and only stroller. Since we don't travel much so far it's just been the vista, and we love it!

@jholler25: love the pink I've heard that while the ub isn't the best double, it's definitely do-able. Also a lot of people put the older child in the rumble seat, which makes it harder to push...once the baby is sitting up/older, you're supposed to put them in the rumble seat and the older kid in the toddler seat--helps the weight distribute better and makes it way easier to push! Just something I know I'll try to keep in mind
