We have two strollers - a City Mini and a Bugaboo Chameleon which we bought used from a neighbor. I LOVE both of them, but we only have the car seat adapter for the Bugaboo and I find the thing a total pain in the butt to unfold.
Basically it's just not working for me. One thing I am realizing is that ease of use is paramount. The outfit may be cute, but can I get it on and off easily, likewise the stroller is awesome but if I have to battle with it every time I open it, it's not going to work in the long run.
This wouldn't matter so much if we were still in the city as I'd leave it open and we used the car a lot less, but now we're country folk I need to be able to use it for the car a lot more.
So what to do? Buy a car seat adapter for the City Mini? Buy a Snap and Go frame? Sell the Bugaboo n?
I'm thinking we'll sell the
Re: I've made a mess of our stroller situation. Advice please!
Oops - contd.
I'm thinking we'll sell the Bugaboo and either get the adapter for the City Mini or get a snap and go frame. It's just a shame because the Bugaboo is truely awesome apart from that and I love the bassinet option.
Thoughts?
The Snap N Go is on my list of things I could not live without. DS is 9 months old and really heavy in our infant carseat but when he falls asleep I am ever so greatful for the Snap N Go.
FYI - we also discovered too late that our City Select did not have an adapter that worked with our infant Britax seat. That's when we bought the Snap N Go.
Problem is solved!! I went to Buy Buy Baby and I was doing it wrong. Obviously we needed a touch up lesson. I do think it's dumb that a stroller could need lessons in how to use it, but once you know (and assuming you don't forget as we did), it's actually easy. Such a relief - we got a good deal on it but it was still pricey and I would have hated to have wasted the money. I think I have the technique down now.
