Stroller Drama

[pocket1_pita]

It’s time to get a stroller and I am confused. I’d been all excited about the Baby Jogger City Mini (BJCM) because of the one-hand fold. Now I am reconsidering. Here’s our deal – Pita and I both run but we probably wouldn’t take Lilah running since that’s each of our special time with Ari. We go to several parks with gravel trails regularly and we go hiking pretty regularly too. We also only have 1 car so the stroller has to be public transportation compatible. I’m not interested in any stroller that needs to be deconstructed for folding. I don’t want a stroller to cost more than $400 (even that seems excessive, but we got some gifts from friends specifically for a stroller) but if you have a great recommendation talk to me about it.

I’m thinking about the BOB Revolution, the Baby Jogger City Elite or another one of their strollers and maybe the Valco Trimode although that breaks the bank a bit. Or is this silly and I do want an urban stroller like the BJCM?

I was going to suggest a Maclaren (I only have a double, so not sure what the best single is). It should be fine on gravel and will fold up great for public transportation. I can't imagine using a stroller hiking- I'd use your Ergo for something like that. I can sympathize with the babywearing. I wanted to be a big time babywearer but I just never found it comfortable past the small baby stage even in an Ergo.
