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?

Honestly, if I were you I'd get a lightweight umbrella stroller for city walking, travel and public transportation, and then keep your eye out for an air wheel stroller deal for the hiking/gravel etc. (though we've had our maclaren on gravel and cobblestones and it's generally fine.) I think if you're going to rely on one stroller to do it all it's not going to do it all well.
