We are headed skiing out west next week with our LO who is 9 months. I am trying to decide which stroller to take with us. We won't be staying slope side; we are in a village about 5 min from the base. So we will have to drive to drop LO at daycare and drive to the main town (however we plan on skiing every day we are there). There are a few restaurants and shops in our village, probably a 5-10 min walk.
So we have our UB gluxe or the bumbleride indie.
Pros for UB:
-can gate check it, lighter, easier to manage, better for general travel
Cons for UB:
-can't take it in the snow. Can't load it up with crap.
Pros for bumbleride:
-can go for walks outside in any condition including a lot of snow. 7 am enfant bundle fits well. (its going to be COLD there).
-We can load up the bumbleride when we drop her at daycare with all of her crap
Cons for bumberide:
-can't gate check easily (barely doable, but we normally drop it with our checked bags since its so bulky and the wheels have to come off. also the travel bag is BIG). We are then left in the airport with the only option to wear her in the beco. it is a direct flight.
I'm not sure how much walking we'll be doing if we are skiing most of the time. However if the weather is terrible and not skiable, maybe we'll need the stroller? Ugh
Renting a Bob there is possible but I don't want to spend the $$$
You reserve the daycare ahead of time. We're going to give it a shot; we didn't want to give up skiing until it gets to difficult to travel. There is also a local babysitting service there that would send a vetted sitter to your condo or hotel for about what we are paying for the daycare. I am pumping and nursing but I'm down to 2-3 times per day. The daycare is at the base, so I think I'm going to try to nurse her at lunch.
