Hi everyone,
(Apologies if this repeats but I tried to post several hours ago and it doesn't seem to have gone through.)
As new-parents-to-be, we're in stroller-choosing hell right now, trying to find a great stroller for an urban couple (lots of walking) who also enjoy brisk power-walks in the park. We're pretty cash strapped.
The Mountain Buggy has just come across our radar and someone in my neighborhood is selling a used MB Urban Baby (not the new Urban Jungle), with the carrycot and carrying case for $200 (used for 3 years). I'm seeing lots of reviews here for the Swift, Terrain, and Duo but not for the Urban Baby or Urban Jungle. Do any of you have any experience with it?
We've also considered the Baby Trend Expedition (which folks here aren't loving) and the BJ City Mini (which isn't an AT and is probably not great for power walking but at least is light and easy to use). We'd really prefer and AT that I can power walk with.
I'm 5'4" and in good shape but am no weight lifter and will need to get it up and down 8 stairs in front of my apartment building. Will also have to go in the trunk of our Toyota Camry.
Please help us make this decision! If it's in good shape, should we jump on it?? We're looking at the thing tomorrow and will probably have to decide on the spot.
Thanks!
