Should I buy a stroller that can be converted into a double stroller? I really like the bugaboo fox which is non convertible, vs the uppababy vista which is convertible but much heavier. Pg with DC1 now and likely want DC2 when the first is age 2.5-3. Do toddlers need strollers at that age? Will I regret buying a nonconvertible? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I agonized over this decision. None of them will cover what you want every time, especially living in NYC. Sometimes, I wanted something light that I could jump on the subway with, or pop the baby into a Bjorn and carry the stroller and sometimes, I wanted something bigger to walk with and hang my stuff on. Sometimes, you'll want to push both kids, sometimes, you'll only have one and then a double stroller is a giant PITA. Sometimes, your 2 yr. old will want to ride on a kick board, sometimes they'll get tired and want to jump in. And you won't want to constantly be converting strollers. SO, I bought a cheap, lightweight one, a single one and a double. Each trip, I'd grab what I wanted, throw in the kick board, etc. [ Reply | More

I would get the non-convertible. Then when #2 arrives you can do an add-on board or get an umbrella/lightweight double. The huge full-sized doubles seem unnecessary and impractical unless you have twins or dcs super close in age. [ Reply | More

We had bugaboo and love loved love it. I had 7 strollers (and only one child) and it was my favorite. People love vista but hate it as a double. I would get a stroller that you want and deal with the second when the time comes. [ Reply | More

There's not really a best stroller. Get the one that speaks to your heart for when the baby is an infant. I loved my Bug and then I also had an UppaBaby Lite (or something like that - they don't make it anymore), which was an awesome portable stroller for a toddler. You're going to buy more than one over the years - I ended up having three - the Bug, the UppaBaby umbrella stroller, and another double - and they each served their own purpose. [ Reply | More

ITA. I had a bugaboo when my first was born in 2006. I loved it but it’s clunky and not super portable so when he turned 1 I got a maclaren umbrella stroller which was better when I was out and about and in and out of my car [ Reply | More
