I've been looking online and can't find anything that compares to the price my local baby retailer is running for this stroller (Black Diamond pattern only). The next best I've seen is $206 at Babystyle.com. I'm just trying to decide if I should jump on it now and buy it or wait and hope someone buys it from my babystyle.com registry.

Is there a price that comes close to this somewhere online?

That is the best price I've EVER seen for an Ultra Savvy. In fact, it sounds almost too good to be true. Check and make sure it's indeed the Ultra, and not the Savvy Z. It may be on sale because it's the 2000 model (I believe it's the 2700) that I bought in 2000. The only differences between the 2000 model and the 2001 model are the following features: 1) the 2001 comes with a tote/bottle insulator that fits between the handlebars (available for 12.99 at babystyle.com and babycatalog.com); 2) the handlebar on the 2001 model is 3 inches longer than the 2000 model, which is an issue if you are over 5'7"; and 3) the 2001 model comes with a matching car seat canopy so you can coordinate (!). The tote attachment should be irrelevant, since you can get that cheaply enough elsewhere (I bought one for my 2000 model), and so should the canopy. If the height doesn't matter to you, jump on the 155.00 price. I've never seen it that cheap, and it's indeed a great deal if it's the Ultra Savvy.

That's the best price I've seen! I got mine for $175 but I think the seller made an error and sold me the 2001 version instead of the 2000. How can you tell the model #??? Look at the back right leg of the stroller. 2710 is the 2001 model with all the extra goodies mentioned above. 2700 is the 2000 model. If you decide later you want the matching canopy and carseat cover, you can order it directly from Combi.

It's the 2700 - last year's model. I've actually found just as good a deal - the 2001 model is on sale at babystyle.com for $206 and they are offering $50 off a $150 or more purchase, so it's pretty much the same price.

How do you like your 2001 Ultra Savvy? I just received mine ($206 from Babystyle) and I think it's great! However, we're not due until Nov. with our first baby and I'm slightly concerned about the size of the basket. Is it that imperative to have a "Graco" sized basket? I am assuming that the light weight of the Ultra Savvy and the easy open/close on it is worth the tradeoff with the small basket. I'm considering looking again at the Convenience 6610 with the larger basket but hate to lose the light weight and easy open/close. Help, I'm a "basket"case!
