Let's pretend we all won the lotto and money is no object... What strollers would you like in your arsenal?
Id want an UBV, BOB Revolution, and a G-Lux.
And maybe a city mini double for when I have another LO.
A girl can dream. What are your dream strollers??

Id go for a Bugaboo Chameleon for everyday use, a BOB Revolution for running and a G-Luxe for an umbrella stroller when the kid got older.

I'd get a super light one manufactured for me out of carbon fiber or something. 
Perhaps a custom UBV or something. Hehe.

@Charm54: Haha, that is almost my exact stroller lineup right now: UBV (w/rumble seat & piggyback), Gluxe, and City Mini GT double.
We also have an old P&T E3 double that someone gave us that is in rough shape, I haven't decided if we're going to try to fix it up...and an old fixed wheel jogger (which was also given to us) that DH used once to run a 10K with our 3yo.
It is too many strollers.

@mrsmate: how do you like the fixed wheel stroller ? There is one on CL for a pretty good price, but I can't tell if I'm going to hate it or not. I do have an UBV for every day use, so would just use it on trails/hiking/light jogging

I would still get what I have - a B-Ready and a Maclaren for travel.

Love my UBV so I'd keep that, and add either the g-luxe or Mountain Buggy Nano for an umbrella stroller. I'm probably going to get one of those two this summer.

@Charm54: Through a combo of good sales and good luck, that is our lineup. After 6 months using the UBV as a double, we also got the bumbleride indie twin. If you don't have to take it in and out of the car, it's perfect. Comfy ride, easy to steer, you can jog with it, great sunshade, basket large enough to get groceries, fits through a standard door and large basket. So I would sub that for the city mini double, unless you are in and out of the car!
And, I seriously need to get rid of a stroller or two!

I love my City Mini GT double so I'd keep that, but I'd also throw a Mountain Buggy Nano in the mix. I'm sort of obsessed with it now but can't justify the expense.
cantaloupe / 6885 posts
@Sparkler: nice!! Bumblerides are the "in" stroller in my neighbourhood. The twins look super nice but are $$$! I'm hoping to get by with just my UBV w/ rumble seat since DD will be a bit older by the time LO2 comes around.

We just have a city mini gt double and a Maclaren volo. I'm happy!

Oh god. I'm stroller obsessed. If I had an unlimited stroller budget I would be out of control.
For one kid: UBV (have it), BOB (have it), G Luxe (want it)
For two kids: City Select, City Mini Double, BOB Double, and still have the G Luxe for quick runs with one kid.

I love what we have (UB Cruz & G-Luxe). I'm not even going to pretend I would jog even if I did have a BOB!
cantaloupe / 6885 posts
@lawbee11: hahaha that's the ONE thing holding me back from buying a BOB. Would I really use it??? Probably not for running, who am I kidding lol. But we do have fun trails behind our house that I don't want to beat up my UBV on. Ahhhhhh, I need to stop stalking CL and make a decision!
GOLD / papaya / 10206 posts
I have a B-ready and lurve it! It is out double! I might look into an umbrella stroller in the future though.
eggplant / 11716 posts
I would want to add a Mountain Buggy nano to my B-ready that I already have. We travel a fair amount and it just seems super convenient.

@Charm54: I was able to find a really good used deal on the bumble double. We tend to be in the stroller for awhile (walk to morning activity, then errand, then grocery store, etc.) and its just much easier to push. The folding is pretty bad though compared to the UBV.
cantaloupe / 6885 posts
@Arden: okay, explain to me the allure of the Stokke! I get they are super sharp looking... But where do you put all your stuff??!! That little bag looks super annoying!

1 kid: Bumbleride Flyer (have it), BOB Revolution (have it)
2 kids: I don't know. I'd need a double jogger and something that fits in my car for everyday use.
eggplant / 11716 posts
@Charm54: I think so too. Same issue with the Orbit. But I walk to the grocery store and buy a week's worth of groceries and load it up on my stroller with LO in it, haha. Good thing the B-Ready has a huge basket (and I have mommy hooks).
cantaloupe / 6885 posts
@Anagram: haha yes I can fit $150 worth of groceries in my UBV basket! It's my favourite feature

I love what we have, Bugaboo Buffalo for every day and Maclaren Techno XT for travel.
eggplant / 11287 posts
Well I already have my dream double--the moubtain buggy duet!
But it would be nice to have something lightweight for runs with just one kid. Something with a big storage basket.
eggplant / 11408 posts
I love my City Elite! I do want an umbrella stroller, but I haven't found what I want yet. Call me crazy, but I'm not wild about the G-Luxe.
@lamariniere: ooh, tell me about the Buffalo! It intrigues me.
pineapple / 12566 posts
@LovelyPlum: people say it's like the UBV, but Uppa Baby isn't in the European market, so I'm not familiar with it. But I test drove both the Cameleon and the Buffalo. They are pretty similar in look and handling (both a DREAM to push) but I liked the Buffalo much better. The seat is rated up to 21 kilos (I think the Cameleon is only 15?), the storage basket is huge and much more accessible with the bassinet attached than with the Cameleon and it can also hold 10 kilos! The seat is higher, it has an extended canopy and I wanted big wheels for snow, but we barely got any snow this past winter so I couldn't test it for that. It can also fold in one piece with the seat and it is actually really easy to fold or breakdown. We've had it for just about a year and I am completely satisfied with it. The main downside is the weight, it is incredibly heavy, but I never have to lift it.

@Charm54: You've named my stroller arsenal currently! I've picked each one carefully based on reviews, lifestyle, and practicality! I love our UBV! The Bob is great for specific instances (because I really don't jog). We haven't gotten to use the GLuxe too much yet, but I wouldn't prefer it for everyday use. I like a solid-feeling stroller with a big basket.
I do think about switching to an Orbit (or dual-Orbit down the line) because when we tested it recently, LO loved loved loved the sideways position.
cantaloupe / 6687 posts
I have the UBV with the little scooter attachment and will likely add the rumble seat when baby #2 arrives.
If I had unlimited storage and funds I would add a side by side double stroller like the City Mini. I would also add an umbrella stroller for airport travel but we don't travel much with LO.

I have a Maclaren Quest and it's perfect...I really don't feel as though I need anything else! I use the Ergo if the terrain isn't appropriate for the buggy.
grapefruit / 4649 posts
@LovelyPlum: I have used the buffalo in both snow and sand. The thing is a beast and can handle anything. The major con is taking it anywhere that requires folding or lifting it. For an at home stroller with a place to store it it is a great stroller. Traveling with it though is not fun. And I hated switching from bassinet to seat but you should only have to do that once or twice. So my take on it is- it's a great stroller but not the only one you will ever need and if you are a suburban parent who drives everywhere you should run in the other direction.

I think my ideal line up is the city select, a Bob and a great umbrella stroller but I would have to look into which umbrella stroller a bit further...
wonderful pear / 26210 posts
Gosh, I remember when all I could think about was strollers.
I don't even know what the hot ones are right now, lol. I always wanted a Phil and Teds, and that stroller to bike contraption looks interesting.

@lamariniere: I think the. Buffalo is like a cross between the bugaboo cam and the ub vista. If it had been out when we had Lo I would have wanted it for sure! As it is I like the ub vista and g lux we have now.
GOLD / wonderful apricot / 22646 posts
I'm happy with our gluxe for DS, but if/when we have another LO we'll probably get the city mini or mountain buggy
pineapple / 12793 posts
We have our dream line up.
UBV, G-Luxe, Bob Dualie, Bugaboo Chameleon.
Though I'm thinking about swapping the G-Luxe for a Nano.
persimmon / 1081 posts
@Charm54: I've never used it, but DH liked it for his one run. The price was right!
If you like the price and have the room to store it, then I would go for it. Fixing the front wheel is a must for running, for safety issues.
