one little one, 12 month old, off the charts for height.
Vista 2011 in Cole: Pros- reversible feature and giant basket, one handed recline. Cons-heavy, push isn't that impressive
BCJM in purple: pros-grandma's stroller, the fold is so easy for her, Cons-not too many other than being a little wide and no air tires
Bob- my workhorse, the one I would keep if I had to get rid of all the others.
albert thurston ryder: lightweight umbrella, good recline, nice and narrow, easy push, my mall stroller, Cons- not that many other than wishing it was a one hand fold.
I had a used Cam thinking it was going to be my go-to stroller but sold it because I didn't love the basket and fold and it's kinda wide but loved loved loved the push, especially in my neighborhood and the shopping district near me ( very bumpy sidewalks). I bought the Vista for the reasons I listed in the pros and cons above but I'm just not loving it. I'm contemplating selling it and buying a used Cam. I think my mom would enjoy pushing the Cam in the neighbor better. I certainly preferred it to the Vista. I just loved the push so much and how well it rolled over bumps. The Vista just doesn't compare.
So would you guys recommend selling the Vista and looking for a Cam? I think I'm hesitating because of having spent the money on the Vista and the pain of having to sell it and also, do I really "need" it?
Thanks for listening!
ETA: I'm thinking of TTC in the next few months so they next one will be at least than 2 years apart. So that was another reason I bought the Vista, thinking about the rumble seat. Also, I do love the reversible feature. The BJCM stays with grandma so I don't have much access to it so I like to act like it doesn't count in my personal stroller stash, thereby justifying 4 strollers for one very spoiled baby :)
