So based on Baby Bargains DH and I got the Baby Trend Snap 'n' Go for our little one and we are using it with the Graco Snugride 35, but now baby is nearing 5 months and I'm thinking we will need to graduate soon to the next level of strollers. There are two major categories we are considering:
1. Lightweight easily foldable stroller that can fully recline with nice sunshade - I need something I can easily lift by myself and one that is good for light duty cruising. I love the Bugaboo Bee but I was most strongly considering the BabyJogger City Mini which seems to be a great design and light and easy to fold. It would be great for the stroller to have some storage space as well - though I think with the BJCM I'd have to purchase a cup holder to hang off the stroller.
2. Jogging stroller - Both DH and I are getting back into fitness and I would love to jog regularly, but the baby isn't big enough yet (needs to be a minimum of 8 months I understand). I'd love to have one with a fixed wheel because this seems essential to a proper jogging stroller. I am considering the Baby Jogger FIT but would love to hear suggestions.
We live in a small 2-bedroom condo and have very little storage space, and while with the first baby we are easily going overboard with stuff, I don't want to go beyond what is really important to have. Ideally I'd love to have both needs met with one stroller. I don't know if there is such a thing, though, given the need for the fixed wheel in option 2 and the mobile wheel in option 1. I hear that the strollers with 'fixable' wheels don't work so well.
The other rub is that eventually we are thinking of having another baby, though we aren't actually trying yet, so I wasn't sure if it was worth considering a single stroller that can later be converted to a double just in case.
Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks!
