Help with stroller color...

I need to order my stroller. We are purchasing the Baby Jogger City Mini and I am totally on the fence as to what color to order. I originally registered for the Orange/Grey one, but I a contemplating the all Black.

Did any of you purchase/register for an all black stroller? Should I be concerned that the stroller will get too hot in the summer or when we are out in the sun? Am I better off avoiding the all black and going with either the orange/grey or a red/black combo? (We are having a Chat Icon)

Any insight is appreciated!!

PS: It also comes in green/gray and blue/black

Re: Help with stroller color...

hmmm, it's more of a personal preference....

if it were me I'd go with red and black, but then again, our entire home is black grey white and red Chat Icon Shocking that Scones stroller is red and black Chat Icon

I think you should get a stroller that matches the rest of your stuff. what color is your car / carseat / diaper bag / other baby stuff?

lean towards that direction, becuase that's probably the colors you like most... then you'll never regret it Chat Icon

I totally agree that I should try and match stuff, however I have yet to purchase a diaper bag because of this very situation (I am going in a circle, lol). The car seat is the Snug Ride in Platinum (see below), so it would really go with anything. Everything else seems to be pink, lol. Although there is a baby bag that I am eying that is Red.

what about your cars? are they also super-neutral? grey/black, or does another color predominate?



frankly, since everything else is a girly(including blankets and accesories that will travel with you) I would avoid the more sporty / masculine combos, like the blue black or orange or green ones...

if you're veering towards pink layette / blankets, you might want the solid black. pink and black are a good combo. Less so than pink, black and blue or pink grey and orange.....

ITA, but this is where my main concern is....will an all black stoller be too hot?

Re: Help with stroller color...

well, strollers are very open, I can't imagine them retaining heat like a black car would Chat Icon especially since the seat and canopy are fabric....

then again, I have no experience with black strollers!

Re: Help with stroller color...

I had the orange and grey one of our registry until I saw it in person. The orange was VERY bright and I just didnt like it. I DID, however, fall in love with the red/black combo at the store.. so classy looking!!!

My carseat doesnt match at all but we are getting a snap and go for infant carseat purposes anyway.

Re: Help with stroller color...

I don't think all black strollers would get any hotter than non black ones. Many of them have black plastic parts on them.

I registered for a platinum (black and silverish) stroller and a gray/silver stroller (girl here). I wanted something neutral in case I have another child and it's a boy. Also, I am not a fan of colors that aren't really neutral.

I would pick the all black for sure in this case.

Then the green and gray if I had to as a second choice.

Re: Help with stroller color...

I just saw this stoller in person yesterday. I didn't really like the gray/orange in person. I did however like the all black, green and black/red.
This stroller folds up so easy!!

I really like the car seat you choose!! I actually have the same one in the same color on my registry. I'm still deciding between the graco and another car seat that matches my stroller.
