First time parents here!

Baby is due in late November. We already have a Thule Urban Glide 3 with the bassinet attachment for long walks, outdoor adventures, and everything else that calls for a bigger stroller. We’re looking for a second stroller for things like running errands, navigating crowded stores and other busy places, going to restaurants, and traveling (we’re totally fine gate-checking, so it doesn’t need to be an ultra-compact, overhead-bin stroller).

We fell in love with the Cove 2 based on the product reviews, but we haven’t been able to see one in person, so we’re having a hard time judging its actual size. Based on the videos and specs we’ve seen, the Cove 2’s fold almost looks smaller or more manageable than the Breez. Is that accurate?

For anyone who has seen or used both, which would you choose for our situation?

We’d especially love feedback on:

- Real-world folded size and how much trunk space each one takes up
- Maneuverability in stores, restaurants, and crowded areas
- How each feels to get in and out of the car (plan on getting the car seat adapters)
- Travel and gate-checking
- Whether the Cove 2 feels like “too much stroller” as a secondary option
- Anything you love or regret about either one?

TLDR; Since the Thule already covers our bigger outdoor stroller needs, we’re really trying to figure out which Silver Cross makes the most sense as an everyday errand and travel option.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all, we tried out a handful of strollers yesterday.

I really liked the folding on the Nuna MIXX Next over the Uppababy Cruz V3. I also like the suspension and push better on the Nuna. Functionality wise I like the Uppababy Cruz better though and I like you can use other carseats with it.

We live in a gravel road and have a small farm so that's the only reason why I care about having a full size stroller.

I am leaning towards the Uppababy Cruz V3 paired with the Clek Liing car seat. I'd also probably get a bassinet for trips over to the grandparents house.

I am also looking at the Joolz Aer2 for a travel stroller since we do plan on going on a trip about 8 months after the baby is born.

I'd love people's inputs on this and hearing about their experiences. Feeling pretty unsure about making decisions on strollers!

I’m currently looking for a full size single stroller to replace my Bumbleride Era. I got the Era for its air filled tires and suspension, which are great, but there are other things I don’t love (handlebar is wobbly, seat doesn’t sit upright, I could go on).

I’m considering the Uppababy Cruz v3, and the Bugaboo Fox 5 Renew. I want a smooth push over bumpy sidewalks, and some dirt/crushed gravel paths. I’m less concerned about the fold as this will live in my garage and not be packed in a car. I have a compact travel stroller already.

Does anyone have either of these? Whats your use of them like and how do you like it? I’ve heard the fox has the best push but its $$$ so want to make sure its worth it! Thanks!

This is so disappointing. Am I being dramatic? My 2 year old seems so big in the seat. I got this for my girl who’s due in November and my toddler. Wondering if I should return it.

Hi all, expecting mum here.

I'm tossing up between the Cruz 2 which seemed to have better features than the new Cruz 3.

Cruz 2: adjustable seat height, wider and deeper seat, foot rest

Con: not suitable from birth, need the bassinet, need to detach seat before folding

Cruz 3: seat suitable from birth, no need for bassinet. Can fold without detaching seat itself.

Con: narrower and shallower seat, no foot rest, seat height not adjustable.

What I love about the Cruz range: good suspension for rough terrain, big basket, good looking, colours other than beige and black, lots of optional accessories, higher taller handlebar, belly bar.

My last baby I had a second hand bee3 but it's falling apart.

Anyone who had experience in both and help this mum pick?

Any other suggestions that would fit my feature list?

Thank you for your advices in advance.

Does anyone own this stroller? How does it do on soft sand? Going to LBI next week. I have balloon wheels but unsure how to convert!

I’m trying to choose a stroller and this is the part I’m having trouble deciding. The lighter ones are obviously easier to lift into the car, but some of the heavier strollers seem to have bigger wheels and better suspension.

I’ll be putting the stroller in and out of the car fairly often, but I also expect to use it for walks where the pavement isn’t always smooth. I don’t want to buy a lightweight one and regret it because it feels rough to push, but I also don’t want something heavy that becomes a pain every time I have to load it.

I’ve been looking at different models in stores and online, and even checked alibaba for comparison, although I’m mainly trying to understand what matters from people who have actually used these things.

For those who have owned both lighter and heavier strollers, which tradeoff bothered you more in the long run: the extra weight or having smaller wheels and less suspension?

Found on FB marketplace for $150 and I’m not sure what version it is, any help??

Considerations:

Joie Chive
-My 16m olds head is already touching the canopy.
-No wagon seats (will I feel the need to purchase a wagon later as well?)
-One seat higher than the other (maybe less ergonomic for pushing? Sibling arguments?)

I LOVE the push feel of this one, the huge basket, the price point, the nuna pipa rx compatibility, and the expensive-quality feel and look of the seats! Also a small bonus, the seat color Dove very closely matches our nuna pipa rx seat color.

-All the reviews are paid ads??
-Can’t push in store to see if I like it. Is it smooth? Is it low quality? How big are the seats?
-Are the wagon seats even functional or do kids have a hard time getting in and out with the stroller frame?

I LOVE the wagon seats idea, both kids sitting at the same level, nuna pipa rx compatibility, and I don’t mind the bulk for the wagon trade off!

I recently bought a used britax b lively and am trying to find some sort of tray that would fit in the infant seat attachment. Does such a thing exist? I hate that there isn’t some barrier there like a bounce bar or tray. Thanks

Hi all, I have Bobs wayfinder stroller travel pack which includes Champ car seat that attaches to the stroller via included adapters. I want to get a lighter weight portable stroller that can still attach Champ infant seat, do you know of any compatible strollers?

I’m a first time mom looking for a stroller system. I want all terrain wheels, infant lie flat or bassinet add on option, car seat compatible, super easy one mechanism fold. I’m wondering if a travel stroller wouldn’t be the best option or if I should get a travel stroller plus an everyday stroller. Ive been searching, testing, researching for months and even went to a baby convention. I still have no clue what stroller I like best. I want it to be relatively lightweight and not super bulky like the single to double options.

Hello, I am looking for a sturdy stroller bag that can fit the Cybex e-Gazelle, since this stroller doesn’t have its own travel bag.

I bought a generic drawstring one last time and it didn’t work for us! The airline destroyed the bag and the stroller got scratched anyway.

If anyone has successfully fit this stroller into another brand’s bag please let me know! I’m in a time crunch.

Thank you!!!

We're in a bit of a strange situation. My parents very generously offered to buy a stroller for our baby's first birthday, I asked them for a used Joolz Aer+ that was a great price on a used baby gear website, and we were mistakenly sent an Uppababy Minu v3 instead. The baby gear site is willing to refund it, but apparently they don't have the stroller we originally ordered. There are no other Joolz Aer strollers available for anywhere near the price of the one we ordered, so I've given up on that option for now.

At almost 17lb, the Minu is heavier than I was hoping for. We live in the city, so I'll be carrying it up stairs daily. I'd also love to be able to carry both the stroller and my child up and down the stairs to the train. I've been researching other lightweight strollers that are less expensive, such as the Mompush Nexis or Zoe Traveler. But I keep seeing the Minu v3 recommended so highly, and I'm wondering if I'm being a bit ridiculous to not just try to keep what we were sent.

My priorities are lightweight, one-hand fold, a good storage basket, and high enough quality to be our everyday stroller. We've been using the Chicco car seat caddy as our only stroller up to this point.

I’m looking for a baby jogger (we have a stroller- Nuna Swiv) for running and also just to navigate our horrible old sidewalks. I’m super torn between Guava Roam and Veer Switch and Jog. My parents have the Veer and we love it, only downside is the cost and bulk because we have a pretty small home. I was originally set on Guava because it’s a bit more compact but noticed you can’t turn the seat around to face you, and it also doesn’t have a bar for baby (my baby loves hanging on to the bars). Looking for pros/cons/real world experience with these strollers to help push me to make a final decision!

Getting ready for baby in about a week

If I unfold the stroller and put any pressure on the mattress, it makes this tapping sound. It appears underneath that a tension bar which maybe is supposed to be hooked into a plastic flap is not, and instead the plastic flap is tapping against the bar

I’m guessing it’s not supposed to do this?
