Strollers where baby faces me!

DS is a big boy - once it gets a bit warmer I am making the switch out of his infant carrier.. but heres my predicament!

Since I won't be able to use my snap n go anymore - what kind of stroller can I get that allows for him to face ME when I push it. I don't want to have to stop starring at my baby! Chat Icon

Baby Jogger City Select, but it's pricey. The 2010 models are all on clearance right now for $399. You can turn the seat to face out or face you. I bought it because it's so versatile. It also converts to a double stroller by just buying an additional seat.

Re: Strollers where baby faces me!

I have a Graco Metolite and a Baby Jogger City Classic double. I recommend both of them for their ease of use and durability. I am not aware of a stroller that faces inward since I never looked for one. My opinion is that once a baby grows out of the car seat, then it is time for him/her to explore their world by facing outward when going for walks. Good luck with your search.

I agree with this, but when I transfer DS from the carseat to the stroller when he's sleeping, I turn the seat around so he's facing me.


ETA: Walks I like him facing out, but when I take him shopping where there's lot of crowds I have him face me. People are much less likely to put their hands on him when he's facing me Chat Icon

I was in the same predicament. As much as I adore my City Mini, I hated that DD didn't face me.

I just got the Bugaboo Frog and I love it so much! It is a perfect stroller for me, between the reversible seat, suspension, wheels, etc.

GRACO FLIP IT

I know you don't need the infant seat and it doesn't seem to be available as just the stroller, the travel system is still cheaper the other pricey brands out there!

Re: Strollers where baby faces me!

This is the one that I have. LOVE it. You can turn it to face you, or have the baby face away. They also sell a non-jogging version. Not very expensive, I think we paid like $150. The only con to this stroller is that it is big and bulky when folded up.

Hmmm... the web image won't post. Google Kolcraft Contours and it's there. It comes in red and lime green.

I love it, but its pricey too. Honestly it was worth it because DS was in the bassinet portion for 3 months straight, it was the best thing for him.

Its easy to reverse it, so baby facing out, at 10m DS has no interest in facing me anymore. (You have to take baby out to reverse it though)

it seems roomier thans the bugaboos, and it sits alittle higher. DS is a big boy too, he's alrready 33", and I have to fear he'll grow out of it, for a couple years.

another vote for the Vista. Everything about this stroller is AWESOME.

my favorite part is the HUGE basket on the bottom. I fit my huge bag + diaper bag + plenty of room to shop with DS. No need for a cart. Chat Icon

I have a Kolcraft contour 3, you can have the seat facing you. It's a bit large, but it's easy to fold and looks great. I also use it with my infant seat, Once DS is outgrow the infant seat I will be using the stroller seat.

Re: Strollers where baby faces me!

I have the Bugaboo Cameleon. I can switch the seat to face me or face out. As she got older she wanted to face out and explore everything going on around her.
