I ended up buying the stroller from the lady in my mommy group. It looks identical to the 2008 fabric wise, but the rear tires are huge, and I think I am going to replace them with the small newer model all terrain tires (we live near the beach so they are necessity anyway). I am very happy with the purchase. I like that DD who is almost 3 doesn't have to necessiraly use the straps, but she can just hold onto the bar and since there is less space for her to move around in I don't have to worry about her trying to stand up like she started doing in our jogger when she'd weasle her way out of the too tight straps. It should be a great all around stroller for her for our long walks (average 2.5 to 3 miles a couple of times a week), to take to the beach, theme parks, and such for years to come. We also hope that the bassinet works out better than having the pack n play in our small room for the first two months of the new baby's life.
Thanks to all for recommending the Uppa Baby brand of stroller. Sure I could've gotten a brand spanken new 2008 model for $150 more, but I feel good buying something from someone I know who could use the money for other things, and it actually felt good buying someone else's stuff. She took very good care of the stroller and even included the mint condition Graco bar which will be awesome for newborn dr. visits.
Are there anyother items I should think about getting for this besides a set of new tires? It also came with a sun cover, and the rain cover.
