$250 (for those pessimists) GB Pockit Stroller Monument Black 2016 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019HWLUXW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_h5u3xb0BNV2R0

u/jackasseress · 35 pointsr/beyondthebump

Ehhh they cost $500. I'd call that pretty pricey compared to the Travel System I got by Graco, which includes a car seat and base, and stroller that the car seat clicks into as well as having a toddler seat. With the Yoyo I would still have to spend an additional $50 each on a stroller and car seat, probably more.


Edit: forgot to mention I got the Graco Travel System for like $350

When you go to the Amazon page for the item, on the right side just under the "Add to Cart", "Buy Now", etc. buttons....there will be a "Other Sellers on Amazon" section. If you click the "xx open box & new from $xx.xx", it'll take you to this page, where you can see all that they have available. Currently there is an Amazon Warehouse option, but the savings isn't great ($18.22 open box vs. $19.99 for new)

I may have just gotten lucky with the % discounts. In January I got the upper adapter for $12.22, the lower for $14.26, and in February got the Maxi Cosi adapter for $27.96

Currently I see the lower adapter has an open box for $21.52 vs. $24.99 new, and the Ride-Along has one for $109.36 vs. $119.99 new.

Not as great as early this year, but that savings does add up I guess. Better than nothing?

Try to get them sucking on bottles during takeoff and landing to pop their ears.


Most airlines will not let you sit next to each other because each row only has 1 extra oxygen mask. You'll probably want to split the contents of the diaper bag between your 2 carry ons.

Our twins were great, but make sure you have some benadryl just in case you have a hard time calming them down. That is if benadryl puts yours to sleep. It works on one of mine but makes the other wired.

I gate checked my stroller in one of these. That way I had it the maximum amount of time.

We also brought some yogurt bites and crushed them up so we could stick them to the pacifier. That helped to distract them when they started to get really upset.

We brought their blankets from their beds so they could snuggle up to something familiar to them. That also seemed to help.

That's all I can remember right now. Good luck and try not to worry too much. Anyone who is a parent will feel bad for you if the kids lose it and anyone who is annoyed can deal with it.

u/Steltek · 7 pointsr/bicycling

Also unlikely to interfere with school backpacks!

This whole scene looks very familiar. I didn't know about the Topeak thing before - I used a jogging stroller cupholder kind of like this.

u/tercerero · 5 pointsr/BabyBumps

Her experience was that she got a big contraption stroller and just never used it, but that she really enjoyed babywearing. Then she recommended a sling she liked. Husband and I had been browsing slings, because it's something he wants to do too, but then he saw the fancy strollers and got all googly-eyed.

Another thing was that I'd been on the fence about infant car seat vs. convertible. The random lady's experience was that she appreciated the portability of the infant seat which is what I'd been leaning toward. So Husband and I decided to get an infant car seat with a basic car seat carrier stroller and we can each pick out the slings we want. We can get a convertible car seat later. Truthfully, we're just not going to use a stroller all that much in our lifestyle, at least not right away, so we can get the cheapo deal and transition to a stroller later that fits our needs as we discover what they are exactly.

I don't know why but I go into this like I'm marrying the product and will have no recourse once the decision is made!

u/divajedi · 4 pointsr/breakingmom

I can vouch for these - with twins I have to use a stroller for almost all of my grocery shopping and I hang the heavy-duty Trader Joe's canvas bags on the hooks. It works really well, but definitely take the groceries off before you take the kid out!

u/Pacoboyd · 4 pointsr/parentsofmultiples

We have this and love it.

http://www.amazon.com/Baby-Jogger-City-Select-Stroller/dp/B003Q85CRY

Lots of different configurations you can do and the seats recline far enough that an infant can sleep in them no problem. (we did get infant inserts from target at 10 bucks a pop.) We also have a glider board attachment so our three year old can sit / stand behind it as well.

Can't recommend this one enough.

Edit: missed your username. We'll see how you feel about that in a couple months after the twins. :)

u/Fancifulkitties · 3 pointsr/beyondthebump

I had the Nuna Pipa with baby 1, and the Mesa with baby 2. Also had the Vista.

They are all the wrong answers. 😭

You want the Doona. It’s a car seat with wheels on it. It’s magical. I had so much jealousy when a mom friend showed up with one of these. I wish I’d known!! If wasn’t so close to being out of the bucket when I saw it I would have burned another $500 to get it.

Also have the vista. It rocked as a single and sucks balls as a double. The 2 seats don’t really fit that well and you don’t have good options on arrangements for them. The balance is super weird with that lower seat on so it’s super hard to turn. I hate it. I bought this much cheaper one and haven’t touched my vista since. If you’re set on a higher end stroller I’d look at the city mini (or whichever the double is) because it can be arranged in a more logical way. Or if you’re planning on jogging get a nice jogging stroller. I’m so bitter than my vista didn’t work out. I spent $$$$ tricking it out as a double.

My kids are exactly 2.5 years apart btw. Joovy is a way better combo for them because my daughter wants up and down and the bench seat/stand option is really perfect for her.

(The snoo on the other hand is the best big $ item I bought. It was worth every damn penny)

u/mimieliza · 3 pointsr/Parenting

Graco car seats are fantastic, and the car seat is the important part. I’d go for this one: Graco Fast Action SE Travel System

u/ernieball · 3 pointsr/beyondthebump

We just flew Delta with my son last week. They were great with our luggage, but I'd still recommend putting your checked items in a bag. There's just so much... crap... and debris... and elements on the plane.

For our umbrella stroller (Summer Infant 3D Lite) I used this check bag and it worked great. We wheeled my son around the airport in the stroller once we got through TSA and right up to the gate - stuffed it in the bag and left it at the door. It was waiting there for us when we got off the plane.

Sounds like you're taking a full sized stroller/travel system? I'd go with this bag for the stroller, and then this one for the bucket seat.

The bags are super thin, so they're not going to protect your items if they get tossed around - but they will save the fabric from grease/oil/gunk.

u/optimaloutcome · 2 pointsr/Parenting

A couple caveats:

  • As indicated by my super-cool flair, "My kid is 4" so she was born in 2010. I'll give info as to what we did. YMMV with regard to brand/model due to passage of time.

  • My kid is very thin, and very tall. She just turned four last month, and she's deep in to 5T sizes.

    That said, we used the Chicco Keyfit 30 as the infant seat. We used the BOB Revolution stroller. Note that in order to make the seat attach, you need the snack tray accessory. You remove the snack tray piece and leave the support bar, which allows your infant seat to slide right in to place.

    Time wise, my Amazon order history indicates we got about nine months out of the infant seat. From there we went to Recaro convertible seats. Once we were done with the infant seat, I installed the snack tray/cup holder deal to the BOB and we used it for another year.

    My kid is a walker, which is to say, we brought the stroller with us everywhere at first, until we realized we never used it. We lived about a 1/4 mile walk to her care center, and for the most part, she walked the whole way to/from even from a young age, not wanting to be in the stroller. I finally sold the thing just before she turned three because it was taking up wall space in my garage. Again, YMMV.
u/nicqui · 2 pointsr/beyondthebump

So I looooooooooove my jogging stroller with rubber wheels, we replaced a plastic wheel system. It cost $180, which was the big selling point to me.

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00S0RF8JS/

It comes with a car seat, too, so you might use it sooner than you think. Bonus data point - we rented a corolla and it fits (takes up about 1/3rd of the trunk).

u/rbrvwv · 2 pointsr/parentsofmultiples

I love this stroller so much that every time I use it I end up singing it's praises. It's worth every penny!

Also, it's less expensive from Amazon: http://smile.amazon.com/Baby-Jogger-City-Select-Stroller/dp/B003Q85CRY/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1410236822&sr=8-4&keywords=Baby+jogger+city+select+double

I got Britax car seats to go with it because the Britax adaptor is super easy to use, and less pricey than the universal one they offer.

Have I mentioned how much I love my stroller?

u/Skitskatskoodledoot · 2 pointsr/DecemberBumpers2017

If you're just looking for a decent backup when you can't babywear- I've really been pleased with the Kolcraft Cloud Plus Lightweight Stroller.

I originally bought the Chico stroller because it fit the car seat and looked super plush, but I wore my son so much I just ever used it.

We bought the Kolcraft stroller when we needed something light weight and portable for vacation. I love it because it folds up with one hand, and it gets pretty small, and is pretty lightweight. It has decent storage underneath and has become my go-to choice for the zoo.

Only downfall really is that I wouldn't recommend it for tiny babies, but once they can sit up, it's great. Also I'm pretty tall and it feels short to me, but that's true of the chicco stroller too.

u/stormwaterwitch · 2 pointsr/pregnant

We got a Carseat/ Stroller Combo from Graco Stroller is easy to set up and pick up/breakdown is easy. Stroller is lightweight, car seat works with any Graco Click Connect Car Seats. It was easy enough to set up

u/The_4th_Man · 2 pointsr/parentsofmultiples

This may just be my two, and not really a twin thing, but Miracle Blankets.

https://www.amazon.com/Miracle-Blanket-15799-Swaddle-Blue/dp/B000G0KQWQ/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1479392777&sr=8-2&keywords=miracle-blanket&th=1

Anything else they struggle and and get cranky because they get their arms up, but not all the way out. They will fight anything else forever.

Also a Baby Breeza bottle sterilizer. Ours runs 24/7. Also take however many bottles you think you need and add at least four, probably six.

We also have this duel carrier:

https://twingocarrier.com/

We have never used it as a double, but it breaks into two singles pretty well and cheaper than two individual carriers.

Edit: Forgot one, strollers. We did a ton of research and this one seemed the best for doubles:

https://www.amazon.com/Baby-Jogger-City-Select-Stroller/dp/B003Q85CRY

Not cheap at all, but if it is in the budget I don't think there is a better twin stroller out there.

Good luck. I also recommend keeping the fridge stocked with wine and beer, but maybe that is just us. :)

u/pm_me_ur_kittiesssss · 2 pointsr/beyondthebump

Not much help here - I’m leaving a comment to find this post later

So far, I’ve just got this and...that’s pretty much it...

u/blondebrunette · 2 pointsr/Parenting

Kolcraft cloud plus lightweight. this one
Unfortunately we’ve had it about a year now so I don’t think I could return it. I love it outside of this issue.

u/jeffAA · 2 pointsr/BeAmazed
u/alltoovisceral · 2 pointsr/parentsofmultiples

This is what we used and we loved it. Joovy has a snap n to stroller with a third seat. I recently met a lady with twins and an older toddler and she swore by this thing. Joovy Big Caboose Graphite Stand On Triple Stroller, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GFHA71I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_twnuDbPZG8JRF

u/bainchi · 2 pointsr/beyondthebump

I'm thinking we will want a SnugRide Classic Connect 35 car seat because it is installed with the European System when not on its base. So we would want a stroller compatible with that car seat. We have seen the basic Graco car seat carrier and the Classic Connect Fold Strollers. I'm open to other suggestions, though :)

u/veritaszak · 2 pointsr/beyondthebump

I travel a lot with my LO, and a couple of things have made all the difference for me: the GB pockit+ stroller is KEY. It’s not the smoothest ride, but when you’re trying to fit everything in a cab or rental car you will thank the good lord you have it. Also, the Evenflo LX tribute car seat. I use it exclusively for travel, it’s suuuuuuper light weight (clutch when trying to get everything in or out of the airport) but a great car seat. It’s also a cinch to install and uninstall in Uber’s when you want to be fast.

And: stroller clips, you’ll find a million uses when traveling (I used them the clip the hotel blinds closed during nap time, or clip a muslin blanket over LO like a canopy during a long car ride to stay out of the sun.)

If your baby still uses bottles there’s also a great travel bottle wash kit and drying rack that is my go to. Travel with the kiddo is so special, happy to chat more if you want more info! Good luck!

u/PermanentDaylight · 1 pointr/Parenting

The Joovy Big Caboose is a triple stroller. It’s a sit and stand, but you can also get a third seat if your kids aren’t old enough to use the bench seat yet. I think you can only use it with two infant car seats though, so at least one of your kids will need to sit on the stroller seat.

Also, your twins might not be in the infant car seats much longer. We have a Graco seat, not Chicco, but all of our kids have gotten too long for it well before they reached the weight limit, sometime within a couple of months after turning one year old.

Congratulations! And good luck

u/justonemorepen · 1 pointr/beyondthebump

I’m going there with my 20 month old! But we are planning to gate check the stroller (we use a Summer Infant 3D Lite) and take our Cosco Scenara Next on the plane for her to have her own seat. This is also what we did when we took her international flight about a year ago.

If you gate check a stroller, be sure to put it in some sort of bag to protect it as it will get bumped around a lot! We got this one.
https://www.amazon.com/Childress-Gate-Check-Umbrella-Strollers/dp/B000QWA9F8

I wouldn’t trust a rented car seat either. The Cosco was pretty easy to use on the plane and quick to get in and out.

u/RoarEatSleep · 1 pointr/beyondthebump

Agreed you should probably move to an umbrella at this point.

I have a McClaren that I like, but I think in that price range they’re all pretty similar.

If you’re considering a second baby in the future you might also look at the Joovy Caboose.. I finally got one after being jealous of it for ages and I love it. I take just the baby (10 months) out in it all the time, but my older loves it too and it’s got a pretty decent basket when she’s not riding in it. Plus it’s super lightweight and easy to fold. Sort of like a much bigger umbrella stroller. I love it and I’m selling our UppaBaby because I can’t think when I’d ever want to use it again.

u/samethought · 1 pointr/BabyBumps

Have you looked at getting a traveler system with the car seat and stroller combo? Most of them you can use the car seat as a carrier and they snap into the stroller so you don't have to wake baby when transitioning from car to stroller. Amazon has some awesome deals on open box items also from the warehouse! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00S0RF8JS/ref=mp_s_a_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1519342835&sr=8-3&keywords=jogger+stroller+travel+system&dpPl=1&dpID=41NVoO7v4gL&ref=plSrch

This is the one I'm ordering, I like the carrier aspect but the car seat will need to be changed, it doesn't grow with them.

u/kayemgi · 1 pointr/WaltDisneyWorld

We were going to rent, but then I did the math and realized that over two trips, it would be cheaper to buy a lightweight "travel" stroller, and I'm glad we did because we actually use it at home all the time too for going to the zoo and other day trips. It was very handy to have it at the airport as well. We got the Kolcraft Cloud Plus and I really like it a lot.

u/SugaredSalmon · 1 pointr/parentsofmultiples

This is the one we have (well, an older version)

http://www.amazon.com/Contours-Options-Tandem-Stroller-Velvet/dp/B00M9ZR8XQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1450470466&sr=8-1

It is perfect for our needs and maybe will the bill for you: many positions for the babies, either in regular seats or car seats, and inline. The newer version appears to be shorter than my old version, which looks nice. Universal car seat adapters. No third seat, but they do sell universal gliding boards that attach at the back. My singleton just turned 3 before the twins were born, and had been forced to start walking on errands early on in my pregnancy because I couldn't lift him into strollers or carts any more. The contours stroller, at least my version, has a toddler handle on either side and he holds onto it and walks. We do 95% of the household errands with myself and the three kids, all under age 4. The basket is generous underneath, but I also ordered these hooks for the handlebars, and I attach a store's hand basket to them when shopping: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002MXP3SM/ref=sr_rp_1?m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&ie=UTF8&qid=1450470916&sr=sr-1&keywords=Stroller+hooks

Good luck!

u/legowife · 1 pointr/BabyBumps

Can anyone tell me how this compares to the BOB flex? That's the one I've had on my registry based on the Lucie's List recommendations/reviews, but this looks like a great deal! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019EZD7Y2/ref=br_it_dp_o_nS_ttl?ie=UTF8&colid=3C4K778D98X90&coliid=ILJ7WXE8H1CB4&vs=1

u/CuriousRoss · 1 pointr/AskMen

Check with your insurance and hospital and make sure you have total coverage. If you can or have an HSA start saving money now so you can pay for the delivery with some nice tax-free money. If you have the means, you can usually negotiate a pay now/today price with the hospital and save money. A normal delivery is anywhere from $6k to $10k usually.

Be with your wife. The first trimester is rocky. She will probably be hormonal, unstable, unsure, nauseted and hungry. So be present, supportive and always have snacks. Also whatever you did she's right and you're wrong. Period. Just go with it.

For you, start preparing! I really enjoyed the simplicity but depth of The Pregnancy Book for Men. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1601066546/
PM me your info and I can share a Kindle version if you'd like. This guy does a great job of laying it all out for first time dad's.

Other notable milestones.... Second trimester she is usually over the sickness and really active so be ready for some adventures.

Towards the end of the second trimester it's not uncommon for her to want to nest. So be thinking about where the baby will go. I personally had to paint ceiling, walls, and put in new flooring. Start hunting for cheap furniture you'll need. Got most things cheap at IKEA personally or from friends. Having it all ready around month 7 or 8 was good. You hope your little one doesn't come early but you never know - so be prepared!

Consider a rocking chair/ glider. Great for chilling with a new born. You'll both be scared a lot of those first nights and appreciate it. It helps with breast feeding too.

Have plenty of sheets, blankets, towels, etc. Ready for baby. Practice swaddlling a small pillow or a cat or ecen small dig. Become a swaddlling pro. Newborns jitter while they sleep and can essentially wake themselves up. Swaddlling prevents this and helps them sleep longer and better. Sleep will be the most prized thing you and your wife can have those first 6 months.

If your wife plans on breast feeding... Start researching breast pumps. Very useful if you're wife plans on working it returning to work after leave. Your insurance/HSA may help cover the cost. A good one can run about $300.

I highly recommend a boppy pillow. They're great for holding newborns. Napping. And breast/bottle feeding. They're good for tummy too.
Available at Target here: https://www.target.com/p/boppy-174-sketch-slate-nursing-pillow-and-positioner-gray/-/A-52856960

Around month 7 or 8 your wife may get serious about a stroller. Shop around. Consider them an investment don't be afraid to have 2 or 3 to meet your needs. I recommend a jogger if you plan on actually running with your baby. But definitely consider a compact umbrella stroller for travelling as joggers can he massive even when folded. My favorite travel stroller that has been to 15 states and 13 countries and I dunno how many planes GP Pockit Stroller found here: https://www.amazon.com/Pockit-Lightweight-Stroller-Satin-Black/dp/B079H2ZR8P/

Also around third trimester get a good carseat system that you like. Consider multiple cars, bases, and stroller comparability. No right answer here just lots of preferences. But get one early and install it early. And learn how to install it early. You'll be exhausted after the delivery and hanging out in the hospital parking lot with your wife and newborn for an hour while you figure it out then is not ideal. Trust me. Get it early and become a car seat ninja so it's right every time and you can do it effortlessly.

Also pack a bag with a change of clothes for both of you and some newborn clothes in a range of sizes so you can exit the hospital in style.

Establish a care with a physician you like and a clinic. You'll have lots of follow-ups, well child checks, vaccines, and tests that first year.

Be prepared when you go out. The best thing you can do is be an effective packer and anticipate mom and babies needs. Breast feeding supplies, diapers, extra clothes, etc. Even going out for 2 hrs. Have a bag ready. Etc.

Meal prep before your due date if you can. I had a bunch of frozen stuff prepped. You'll be zonked beyond belief.

Make sure your wife feels sexy and desirable throughout the pregnancy and afterwards. Her body changed a lot and she can begin to have a lot of negative thoughts. Plus sex is always good for everyone. 😃

Well brother, that should definitely get you started. I can't think of anything else at the moment but comment or PM me if you have any questions. It'll all be alright. You got this! 😃

C5-7 quadriplegic. If he's a Para, chances are he's got more function than I... If I can figure it out, surely he can; just get one in his hands and let him play. If not yours, that's what store demo units are for.

Couple aids I use-

A case like this one- it has the little cutout at the bottom so you can add a wrist strap, SO much easier to grab on to quickly/ can just hang my phone off a hook on my chair: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Fashion-Korean-Style-iFace-Case-For-iPhone-6-6s-5-5s-Cases-Durable-Candy-Color-Shockproof/32691225328.html

An elastic loop on the back: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MEHPUSR

And as for a hook, it's far easier and cheaper to look for kids' stroller accessories than medical-leaning hardware. Usually medical/ health stuff gets a crazy price markup. Here's the hook I use: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002MXP3SM

And a bonus accessory, the cupholder I use on my chair... can throw the phone in here too when in a hurry: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005G14BIU

Cheers, hope it helps!

u/Eloisethatsme · 1 pointr/BabyBumps

You can definitely put the car seat on the bottom; I’ve done it. You have a 2015 or newer vista? And a Chicco car seat? You would need these two adaptors:

UPPAbaby Vista Lower Adapter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072J7ZH9X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Sj9XBb7WCSNXE. (amazon warehouse has a returned like new one for $12.78!)

UPPAbaby Infant Car Seat Adapter for Chicco https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OC8WJU0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_5l9XBb8EE7BJ4. (Amazon warehouse has one for $33)

You can get the upper adapter to give more space between the kids, but I think it might all fit fine without it.

u/kezrin · 1 pointr/beyondthebump

The Evenflo Pivot Modular Travel System is a great budget friendly, but still has all the extra features of a higher end system.

I have the Chicco Urban 6-in-1 Modular Stroller and Chicco Fit2 Infant & Toddler Car Seat it doesn’t come as a set, but the two are compatible to form a travel system type set up with just what comes out the box (no additional attachments to buy). It’s a bit more expensive than the evenflo, but I liked the way it maneuvered and such better than the evenflo when I was testing them out in the store. Plus the KeyFit2 is one of the best car seats on the market (and can be used with premies).

My biggest recommendation is go to the store and physically touch, maneuver, fold, unfold, and attach and detach the car seat for whatever system you are considering. A lot can be learned from reading online reviews and asking for anecdotal reviews, but nothing beats having your hands on a demo model and trying it for yourself.

u/hellidad · 1 pointr/Parenting

We have this. It is quite possibly the best investment for baby things we made. Being a bigger guy, it is the perfect size for me to push, and the big wheels roll over just about anything. It was the only thing we needed during a 4 day trip to disneyland, and people kept mistaking it for a Bob, which is more than twice as expensive. Super awesome.

I didn't like how the travel system takes up the full trunk of the car. I got a hand me down carrier stroller. It's a frame the holds the infant bucket seat. So you can push it when you want or carry it from the car. It's lightweight compared to the travel systems.

http://www.amazon.com/Graco-SnugRider-Elite-Stroller-Carrier/dp/B008OIPZW8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418235544&sr=8-1&keywords=greco+stroller+frame

I have a bad back and almost went with just the convertible seat, but decided against it when a friend who gave birth last year during winter fell in her driveway while carrying the baby. Thankfully he was in the infant carrier otherwise it could have been very bad.

I got this infant seat because it's lightweight compared to the other model and goes up to 30 lbs.

u/kittykittybuzz · 1 pointr/BabyBumps

If you plan on using the stroller on gravel, I'd ditch both of those options. You're going to want something that has all terrain tires. Those plastic tires will be very hard to push through gravel and the ride will be pretty rough. I started out with a Graco stroller similar to that one. Once I realized how horrible it was on different terrains, I got a Graco jogging stroller.


Here are some strollers with all terrain tires if you're interested -

I'm on #2 this go around. i think you have a great list, if you are trying to pare it down, here is my two cents. I never used special laundry detergent for baby stuff. Some kiddos are more sensitive to it than others so you can wait and see if its necessary. Never used a special towel, just used ours. Rectal thermometer is recommended over forehead for infants I believe. I never used a lot of swaddle blankets but some people with babies who spit up allot swear by them.

I did/do use my stroller ALL the time. I find them super necessary. If I was having my first now (and could afford it) I would totally get this stroller. 13 lbs and so tiny!

Seen several using this Bob offroad jogging stroller. Many parents get it and let it sit in the garage till it's outgrown. Probably under $50 on Craigslist (even if listed for 200. Parents want their garage space for bikes). https://www.amazon.com/BOB-Revolution-SE-Single-Stroller/dp/B004DC9TAI

If you're never going to be on rough terrain, this one is great. My parents got it for when we visit them - they wanted something lightweight but full-featured and this one is great. I almost like it more than our stroller at home.
