The problem with this video is that its only going to be applicable for those that have a large budget. There are a lot of people out there that do not have 1000 bucks to spend on an everyday stroller and another 500 to spend on a travel stroller. Most people are just going to go buy a stroller that works and fits with in the limited budget they have. If you can afford to be fastidious about it thats great, but people often forget not everyone is in your financial bracket. I personally have an Uppababy Vista and a yoyo2. My sister on the other hand had to settle for the 300 dollar stroller on the shelf at target and even that was a stretch for her and a lot of other people are in the same predicament. Not everyone can afford to be so choosy. Some people just have to get what they can get. Id say maybe make some videos about budget friendly options, because these are not and your advice for shopping for a stroller in this video only lends itself to those with a large budget, and the most people just dont have the large budget these days.

When I was looking for a stroller for my baby boy who is now 4 this would be 4 years ago when I was pregnant and first thing my dad told me was big sturdy wheels. I looked into uppa baby because of the must have list that mentioned it and being that it is a top popular posh stroller. I didn't like the idea of paying 1, 000 dollars for something I was going to use for a few years. I wish I went into the bob stroller or a similar high end jogging stroller but I was concerned that it won't fold easily. So I ended up with the nuna mixx 2 and the nuna papa car seat. It was half the price the stroller and also knowing this may be our own child due to not being able to go in to have another one it was the best choice for us at the time. I loved that stroller and it took so long to sell it once we were done using it. I also had the chombi usa double fold stroller which worked so well for us and it was handed down to us by my aunt and uncle who used it with their grandkids. My favorite because it is so good for airplanes and traveling. I am so glad I went into test it out both the uppababy and nuna at nordstrom rack even though we were ordering it from bloomingdale's due to good price listed at the time and employee discount from someone my family knew who worked for the store. I high recommend you do research and go in to try it out because it is hard to tell from looking online. I actually stumbled upon a video of a Jewish mom using this nuna mixx 2 stroller and also what made me fall in love was how easy it is to fold by anyone using it because I knew at the time my parents, sitter that we later on hired as our nanny for twice a week so I could work, and in laws were going to use it when we brought our baby over. The only thing about the uppababy vista is that it has a wider storage bottom for throwing things into the stroller in comparing with the nuna mixx. My philosophy, just because everyone is getting this uppababy vista or cruz the other model of the same brand doesn't mean you need to go out and get one too and instead pick one that fits your family needs. Also, with living in an area where we get earthquakes that leave the sidewalks bumby or when you go out to the parks or hike trails you want the wheels that will get you through it all. I don't think nuna compared to a jogging stroller fairs perfectly but for sure when I used it on flat trails with some bumps and on bumpy sidewalks it worked well for us.

#4 so much! I bought an uppababy minu from you guys for my first baby and now I just got a brand new uppababy vista from you for our newborn and 17 month old. Maybe I could’ve had the vista from the beginning, but the minu was perfect for our lives and 1 child! I’m excited to use our vista soon! Love your videos 🤍

Your last two point are really about finding balance. Of course you don't want to follow other people's advice too much. But the other extreme is to not ask for advice at all. I think the ideal people to ask are the ones who are able to think with you and give advice with no strings attached. And if you focus on that type of advice, it's going to be the most helpful to you.

Can the yo-yo travel in snow from the car to the doctors office? What about shopping on a cobble stone street?

Awesome video! So much great information. I've had 4 kids over 20 yrs and have bought many many strollers. I have made many many mistakes 😬🤣. This info will help avoid all of those mistakes. Right now I have a Cybex Balias and a Bob Alterrian. I love both and both serve their own purpose

I have donkey 2 and I’ve noticed a screw on the handle when it scratched the side of my car. I add to the point about the screws.

How are the wheels on the Silver Cross Comet?

[poot-poot]

I'm having my first baby, and I have no idea what I'm doing. We live in Ontario, Canada (brrr! 🥶) in the suburbs, but our baby will be around 7-8 months before we get snow. I have no idea what stroller to get or if I should get more than one? They are due mid April. I am not a jogger, but I do enjoy walks.. sorry for the rambling comment, I have major pregnancy insomnia and it's 4am while I'm researching strollers 😭

Simply put, want a stroller that lasts? Bob. Nuff said 😂👏🏼
