Do you love your stroller????? What do you mommies recommend??

I am 4 1/2 months pregnant and I have been reading up on strollers, car seats and high chairs.

But, it is always best to ask the moms who use these everyday for their true opinion.

So, do you love/hate your stroller?? Please let me know what brand it is!! Thanks!!!

Re: Do you love your stroller????? What do you mommies recommend??

Yup I lloooooooooove my stroller!!! I went through 3 or 4 other strollers before I finally broke down and spent the $$ on a Peg.

I have the peg perego venezia.

I had a travel system first.. that was HORRIBLE both the stroller and infant carrier!!

Then we had the Jeep stroller with the steering wheel in front.. cute but REALLY hard to push as he gained more weight ( and he wasnt a big baby by any means!!)

I forget the last one but that was not any good either!!

I also have the Peg Perego Venezia. I've definitely gotten my money's worth with it. I loved it especially in the beginning when I used it as a carriage. Andrew never really slept or napped, but I could lay him down flat in it and keep him swaddled and wheel him all over the apartment (he was colicky).

I like how you can switch the handles so the baby can face either way. Now Andrew sits up like a big boy in it and faces out.

What are you going to use the stroller for? Do you live in the city or suburbs? What type of car do you have?

I live in the city and love my mountain buggy, but it would be an awful choice if you are looking for a in and out of the car shopping mall stroller.

Unfortunately there is no one perfect all-purpose stroller!

So you're saying the Bugaboo isn't perfect?



Have they gotten rid of the two part fold in the new version? If not, that makes the bugaboo a pain for public transit. You have to put the baby down somewhere to fold it!

I have the Eddie Bauer Stroller. The wheels squeek a lot, I'm always greasing the wheels up.

WE got the Graco Travel System in Kenbrook print (gray with some plum) and we "test drove" it in BRU. It was tall enough for DH and easy enough to break down (one button!!)...

I'll let you know if I love it or hate after she comes in January

I have the same stroller. It's OK, I don't use it much bc I think it's a little big. I really only use it when I go to the mall. When we go for walks we use the snugli.

We have this one too. We used it the other night to walk around the park and we liked the way it rode very much.......it does seem a little heavy to get in and out of the car myself thoughChat Icon

Re: Do you love your stroller????? What do you mommies recommend??

i have the peg venezia too and def worth the money and its built that I can use it for my next kid. I know alot of people whos strollers had to be thrown out after 1 kid cause of the wheels not working any more as an example.

I agree....we have the same one and love all the features you mentioned. We also have the baby trend jogging stroller, great for crossing fields and beingout and about on rugged terrain :)

Re: Do you love your stroller????? What do you mommies recommend??

www.stroll-air.com Best thing we ever bought. $$$$$$ though...A little bulky, but it rides so nicely, and it has an adjustable handle so us tall people can make it higher...You can get one on ebay for about $600, cheaper than the Bugaboo. Basinet, pram and carseat carrier all in one. It will last us through our next baby. Very sturdy. This is the one I have, but in whote leatherette so it's easy to clean... We paid $650, but the faric is much cheaper.

We also have a Graco Travel System in the THERSEA print, not sure what model it is. I like that alot too because when she was younger, it was easy to pop it in and out of teh stroller.

OMG I have the SAME one!! I HATE it! The wheels squeek non stop and it is very embarrasing. People hear me coming from a mile away! Also the car seat had a RECALL. I wouldnt suggest this one!
