Thread: "Are expensive strollers worth it?"
It really depends on your lifestyle. I live in a city and mostly walk everywhere. I have an uppababy vista and it is the most common stroller in my area in addition to the city select and and silver cross strollers. A tandem is necessary because shops are too small for side x side doubles. That being said, it is not the stroller I load in and out of the car because I find it a little bulky. I use an umbrella stroller, older child walks, and I wear baby. I started off with a chicco bravo, which is light weight and easy to fold, but it is not cut out for city life. Basically my stroller replaces a car where I live.
Thread: "Do you regret getting the Nuna Mixx Next?"
Suspension is flat out best in it's class for the mixx next. Vista still has good suspension though. I don't regret getting my mixx next at all, but there are a few small cons, but they aren't deal breakers. The undertaker is small compared to the competition. The stroller seat leg rest thing is sort of flimsy. It's sort of just there. Everything else is great. When it comes to these high end strollers like Nuna, Uppababy, and SilverCross, you will make a good choice no matter what, but there are small things to nitpick about between any of the high end strollers. I may not regret getting the Mixx Next, but if I had to do it again, I'd probably get a Silver Cross Reef. Simply because that was my top choice but sooo damn expensive, while my wife wanted the Nuna, which I was content with after testing it at Dillards. My wife absolutely hated the Vista due to how bulky it is, and she simply didn't like the color choices on the Cruz. It all came down to that lmao.
Thread: "Choosing the best stroller, what do you wish you'd known earlier?"
I LOVE my nuna and I do feel like it’s much easier to collapse and maneuver than some of my friends’ more budget friendly brands, I also prefer it to other ones I’ve tested (silver cross, cubed and uppababy) BUT I wish I just got a used one off Facebook marketplace because the cost is not really that justifiable when there are a lot (in my area) gently used being resold.
Thread: "[on] Help stroller decision: Uppababy Vista V3 vs Cruz V3 vs other premium brands"
Hey mama! What’d you end up deciding on? I’m due at beginning of May and also trying to decide between keeping our unopened Cruz V3 we got on Black Friday sale vs getting Bugaboo fox 5 vs silvercross reef.
Thread: "Bugaboo Fox 5 or Uppababy Vista V3?"
Before looking we were dead set on getting the fox 5, but having used it instore we just found it too big and heavy, and that’s with us considering getting into the boot of a mid size SUV. We also liked the vista but also found it to be bigger than we wanted. We settled on the reef 2 from silver cross, it’s not much smaller but when we compared side by side it felt better for shops and getting the boot etc. After doing so much research all I can say is that most prams on the market are pretty good these days and what you think is more helpful that others is likely what will sway your choice so don’t read too much into comments like mine (or advice from family).
Thread: "Nuna Triv Next as the only stroller?"
We have a nuna triv and plan on using it as our primary stroller. We also have a silver cross reef for big/long walks in our neighborhood & uppababy minu for travel. I think the triv is big enough for daily/regular use but it’s light enough that I can carry it & it doesn’t feel super heavy. We got it as an unexpected gift from a friend, so we already had the other two prior 💀 otherwise I think we could’ve been ok with just the triv! The only thing I dislike about it is that the baby feels like they’re kinda low to the ground. With the nuna mixx and silver cross the seat is a big higher but idk if that’s a deal breaker for everyone or just me lol.
Thread: "Cybex Gazelle S or Uppababy Vista?"
Honestly I really liked the Cybex and we almost went with it. We decided to get the Silver Cross Reef because of how it could fold. There are new strollers out now from last year so I’m not sure what’s best. Going to Nordstrom and testing them out is definitely worth it. That’s where we decided on Silver Cross over Cybex, UppaBaby and Nuna.
Thread: "Are expensive strollers worth it?"
We bought a Silver across, it was about $1300 and worth every single cent! It is so smooth and well built and I walked there baby about 6km every day in it. So easy to manoeuvre and comfy.
