Some things never change, like stroller obsessions :D
I thought I would not ever contemplate buying another stroller until we have #2 and start shopping for a double, but I always seem to have doubts about my stroller stash.
So, currently I have the Bob (our AT, jogging and long walk stroller), Bee+ (our travel stroller) and Micralite FF Superlite (our lightweight errand stroller).
I love the Micralite and it is my most fun stroller, but it is not nap friendly and this is an issue. The footrest is too far away for DS to reach and the headrest is too narrow, no place for him to lean his head to the side. The canopy also sucks and I hate the idea of shade extenders. We cannot take it on long outings, so, we only use it limited amount of time. It's also a bit bulkier and heavier than an umbrella stroller and sometimes I just want something truly compact and very lightweight.
Lately, I've been considering the Uppababy G-luxe, nice low weight, easy fold and mainly comfy padded seat with recline and extending footrest, plus regular footrest. It also has nice suspension and thick wheels. I am just wondering if I would hate it if I had to walk 3 miles with it, because with Micralite I can walk for miles.
Should I sell the Micralite and get the G-luxe instead? Will G-luxe be too hot in summer with the padding? Should I just use the Bee+ for now and leave the Micralite to use when DS is 1 year older?
