What stroller do you use for the mall?

Is it difficult to use the three wheelers for the mall? (i.e. Zooper Boogie)

I have yes, but a mountain buggy urban and terrain too ;)

It is doable but one does need to get used to the increased width & length of the 3 wheelers on the whole, it isn't for everyone.

good luck!

I've used my 3-wheel Kiwi E3 at the mall before, and have now switched to a Bugaboo. I had issues fitting the E3 through the aisles in department and smaller stores. The E3 just felt too "outdoors" for the urban mall crawl. :)

THe issue I'd have with the Boogie for mall use would be lugging it in and out out of the car -- too heavy for me!

I use either my PP Pliko or Chicco 2002. I have seen a few MBUS' at local malls, but most people either have P3s (or Plikos) or Maclarens (or Graco/Evenflo types). I've only seen an e3 once at a mall and it was being driven by a dad.

Personally, for mall use I want something really easy to get in and out of the car (especially if I might have a couple of different malls/stops to go to) AND that won't take up too much room in my SUV (OK, so I buy a lot of stuff, LOL!). I don't like to put anything on top of the stroller if I can help it (I bent the canopy frame of my Pliko doing that -- luckily, DH bent it back). For me, that means an umbrella-style stroller.

Hi! I use my Kiwi Explorer almost every time we go, I love how easy it is to push and steer. Yes, I have to plan my path in some stores because of the (lack of) space between racks, but it is worth it. I pack all our needs in the "panniers" and have the understorage for all our purchases, plus I put a link-ring on the handle to hang more bags off of, hehe! And with and added PLH click-n-go cup holder- for me, and snack cuo holder- for little one, we are all set.
