I love strollers! I love looking at them and day dreaming about them. I have found 4 that I love the look of. Anyone have one of them and a review to give?
1. JJ Cole Broadway Stroller
2. Britax B-Ready (worth the extra money instead of B-Agile?)
3. Bumbleride Indie
4. Bumbleride Flyer
Thoughts? We are still TTC after our mc but I can't stop planning ahead! Right now I love the B-Read and Flyer but am unsure!

We're still TTC, but I'm in love with the b-ready! I think it depends on what you'll be doing with it, where you'll store it, how many strollers you plan on having and whether you plan in using it with a carseat. I want the b ready because i want to use it with a britax infant seat, the bassinet, and in the future as a double. I have a large vehicle, so that's not an issue for us. I like that you can collapse it with the 2nd seat attached. It doesn't end up being more $$$ than the agile if you buy during the free ride event where you get a carseat or bassinet or 2nd seat free.

I really liked the b ready when I was TTC. And then I heard a ton of people complain that the wheels were really crappy and you cant buy replacements once they are worn down. Since we wanted it to last through at least two kids it got cut from the list. We ended up with the UppaBaby Vista which has very similar looks and functionality, but is better quality.

@MamaMoose: the wheels did suck! But that was one of the updates for the 2012 model and you can buy 2012 replacement wheels 
uppa vista is sweet too!

Thanks for the input. I'm not a runner so I don't plan on running with it. We do have a SUV so it won't be problem fitting it in. I would like to use the stroller with 2 kids, however, I would probably buy a double stroller when the time came. I really want this stroller to be our MAIN stroller. I don't want more than this and a cheap one.

@Mrs. Bird: I love the B-ready and I love that I can get an infant seat that matches. Thats my biggest dislike with the bumblerides.

My biggest advice is to go to a store and practice folding and unfolding them if you are ever going to do that. I am petite and found that the Bumbleride Indie was the only stroller with air-filled tires that I could fold and unfold without serious effort and juggling.
I really liked the Indie - we just bought an older model that is new from Albee Baby off Ebay and am awaiting its delivery on Monday!

@SCG00387: Great advice! My only problem is no one around me sells the JJ Cole Broadway - however, its probably my least favorite anyway.

@alison206 yeah.. we felt like dorks since we appeared to be the only preggo couple actually trying to dissemble and reassemble the strollers instead of just wheeling them and looking at their features.. but it ended up being our deciding factor!
maybe set up a craigslist alert for the JJ Cole? Someone else might have ordered & shipped and you could see if you liked their used one and order yourself (or buy theirs!)

We had our list narrowed down to the B-Ready and the B-Agile. We decide to go with the B-Agile. It's much smaller, so it works with our car now. But mainly, I wanted the B-Agile because I wasn't sure what I would want in a double stroller when #2 comes along. Until LO wasn't, a stroller was never part of my daily routine, so I wanted something simple. It works for us now, but I'm certain that I won't be getting the B-Ready when #2 comes along.
