I just found your channel and you guys are spot-on for every review! These are my top recommended strollers. I am also jealous you got your hands on the baby jogger elite. They discontinued those here in the US years ago and I'm still holing onto an old model because I love it so much.
Right on. We're expanding out into a lot of other brands, right now, so hopefully we can do this sort of video in the future. As a general tip, though - most budget-type strollers have budget-engineering and budget after-sales service, unfortunately. So in my experience, it's better either to get a good used model or, even better, to look for good models that have recently launched new versions, and then hunt down the previous version on clearance deals (examples: Vista V2 launches, so hunt for 2019 Vistas / Hub+ launches, hunt for original Hub, and so on. This will mean you still get a premium model, and still get the guarantee from the purchase date. :)
The vista is amazing. He didn’t mention that it includes everything you need for the baby so it’s actually not expensive.( rain gear x2, mosquito mesh x2, car seat, toddler seat, and bassinet) Don’t forget it fits 2 kids. I do all my groceries with this bad boy.
The donkey is a tank! I wish I had that 12 years ago when I had two, a year apart. I’m planning for the last baby bean and I will likely get the Uppababy Cruz. Decisions, decisions…
I actually had a very good experience with the G-luxe back in 2014-2015. I initially bought it for travel, but then never used my everyday stroller again after liking it so much. Of course, that's many years ago now and the stroller market has advanced. My experience was also colored by having previously using a "travel system" that was absolutely NOT travel friendly. After that the G-luxe seemed miraculously easy! Anyway I see your points about it, but for parents looking for something cheap that holds up to travel, you could do worse! We had the travel bag and registered it with UPPAbaby so any damage from airlines would be covered. But we never needed to take them up on that even after traveling all over Europe. The bag protected it very well. Also, while I see your point about not wanting to carry a "golf bag" since it is full length when folded, I will say that having it stand up on its own very well and take up an extremely small footprint was quite handy when it came to shoving it in tiny hotel closets. And finally, my child napped well in it and the textiles we're dead simple to remove and clean. So again, it may not be the best option, but I wouldn't totally dismiss it either.
Forgot to say thank you for the extremely informative reviews! I found your channel trying to weigh the pros and cons of all the ultra compacts out there. Still trying to figure it out, but I've at least I've been able to eliminate some models, which helps a lot. Do you have plans to review the new version of the UPPAbaby Minu?
i still have a first gen city select and i love it bought when i was pregnant with my first and it still holds out today 5 years old and it went through a family of 5 before i bought it so it is fairly old
Thank you so much for this video. I have a nearly 5 year old and a 3 and a half year old. And planning our last baby for mid 2022. I went through SOOOO many buggies. Mainly the brand Baby Jogger. We have the old version of the Baby Jogger City Elite. And it’s the longest buggy we have stuck with. It is amazing. And I will be keeping it for when No3 is bigger. But for the first year and a half I’m looking for a stroller that will parent face. And have my heart set on Vista v2 or Donkey3. Could I just ask if anyone knows which has the tallest seat unit out of the 2 strollers ? And which one is more worth the money considering I will not need to use it as a double ? (May possibly add a buggy board) but won’t need a second seat on ether. I also wish uppababy would come up with a tote bag to attach like the City select Lux and Gazelle? have. Thank you for any comments to help me decide. Ps I’m really not interested in the Cruz or Buffalo 😘 x
I wouldn't advise the Donkey as a Mono, as the asymmetrical weight causes problems after prolonged use (the handle becomes higher on one side than the other, and the child-side central locking mechanism wears quicker than on the other side). The Vista also has a bigger seat, width-wise, the length is roughly the same :)
Recently have been using and researching your channel a lot! Thank you! After our Gesslein's frame welds failed, as our second stroller we purchased TFK Mono sport, an updated version of Joggster line. I see you had various repair videos and more from user perspective, but not an dedicated video of TFK brand or Joggster line. Could you please do one for updated Mono and Combi models? Thanks. Love the honest and mechanical approach of your videos!
I live in the UK and can’t buy all the strollers in your videos. I’m looking at a compact stroller and I’m on a budget. I’m looking at silver cross cheaper models and have narrowed it down to 2 choices (clic and Zest). One is an umbrella fold and the other one isn’t. What would you recommend? My toddler is also tall which plays a part in what stroller I can buy.
The bugaboo donkey3 is your best bet for having a single kid and wanting to grow your family. Kid 1: you can load it up with all the stuff the baby needs/you think they need along with your stuff. Kid 2: it can carry both with room for their stuff/yours. Kid 3: you buy an adapter so the first one can still ride it with the sit/stand ride on. The younger ones ride in the standard seats and you still have room for their stuff and yours.
One more time to ask your opinion. Now we have Stokke Trailz Terran for our baby boy from first day until now 8 months old. We are looking forward to change his stroller and try to use it for long term to use around our house and sometime go to the old town near home (Krakow). We’re considering UPPABABY Cruz V2 and Nuna Mixx next. We couldn’t decide what we should go for. For use Nuna just a bit cheaper and it would be good to safe even small money. What would you choose?
What's your favorite stroller for flying then walking for days in Disneyland? I care about the comfort of pushing it around and ability to push one handed.
hello I want to know if you have had the opportunity to try larktale Coast Stroller? I have been reviewing many brands of stroller and this apparently is new in the market so I do not find many references, Thanks!
Hello, we have UB Vista 2 for our one year old twins. And we like it very much for compact(narrow) size, very smooth ride on bumpy roads, cool design. But now we’re starting to understand, that it’s no longer be comfortable for our sons in 6 months or so. The one who is on top almost puts his feet on another. We are about to change it to 2 yoyos and get connectors to it from Amazon/eBay. What would you recommend for us?
What do you think about previous version of vista? Is it as good as v2? Now some of them are with the quite a discount and I was wondering whether to pay extra for v2 or the previous one is also good especially if it is almost half price
I have the vista V2 and the updates they made are absolutely worth the money. I have it in Finn and it's beautiful. If its half price I would just watch a comparison video to see the differences between the models and decide for yourself
The best budget choice in my opinion is generally to buy used (the Bugaboo Buffalo would make an excellent comparable stroller), or to go for a 3-wheeler which are generally cheaper while providing similar (and often even better) performance characteristics in the same areas as the Vista. :)
@@BarnevognverkstedNo Thank you so much, I didn't expect you would reply really thanks! Sorry i was not very clear about my question. I meant I want highly reliable and good performing full size stroller , It does not have to be exactly the same style as the Vista. I am not interested in compact or jogging strollers. Unfortunately Bugaboo strollers are not easy to find in my country. I did some research and these are the models that I think may be good, affordable, and are also easy to find: Gracos ( Evo, Fast Action, Modes, Stylus, Quattro), Britax B-Agile, Maxi Cosi Mura 4, Mamas and Papas Sola, Chicco, Joie, Juniors, Quinny) Which of those do you think may be good choice. About 3 wheel strollers are perfectly ok to me. Thanks again.
I very curious about the Guava Roam Stroller vs. the Bob Stroller. Have you checked out the Guava Stroller. I purchased the Nuna Mixx Next before seeing your review. While we do like the nuna the quality is not even close to my 12 year old bugaboo.
Tentatively positive. We don't have the model in Norway unfortunately, but we've done a bit of a research on it, and gave our impressions in this video: ua-cam.com/video/_DAnZ1WnDbw/v-deo.html :)
Hi, we are expecting our first child this summer and are now looking for a good stroller. we live in a city located in northern sweden so there is plenty of snow in the winter. A couple of friends have offered us to get the carry cot and the baby carseat for their Cybex priam. is it worth it for us to buy a Priam with all terain tires/skis or should we look at something else?
wondering how you feel about the xpand in comparison to other single to double strollers? is it worth getting something more expensive that may have connector pieces? does it compare to the bugaboo donkey in your opinion?
Not recent models, but we have a lot of experience with Emmaljunga strollers in the workshop, the 2 more extensive reviews we've done are here though: NXT90 - ua-cam.com/video/KCopzGmFLFE/v-deo.html Mondial De Luxe - ua-cam.com/video/8yxx-cCNhN4/v-deo.html
Thank you for the videos, I'm going for the Vista V2 after all that you've said (in this and other videos), but with a very technical point of view thanks to you! I never liked Bugaboo aesthetically (the logo, I'm very picky) or the fact that e-ver-y-one has it...and as I prefer to pass through the doors with the Vista! Which I now know I'm bying a good thing. Eternally grateful, buying a stroller like buying a car, thanks from Paris. I will be recommending your videos, cheers
@@BarnevognverkstedNo thanks a lot for your reply. I guess silver cross pioneer eclipse is similar to comet eclipse. If you have idea about that then can you help me decide between cybex priam(us one) vs uppababy Cruze and silver cross.
Yes, at least for 5'8 (it has probably the highest handle for ultracompacts on the market). For 6'4, it should be fine, but most strollers might be a tad short, if you're so tall :)
Thanks :) We run a repair shop. I've thought about a webstore in the past, but I'm afraid of the conflicts of interest that could result down the line from this. We do consultations (and maintain a regularly-updated Consumers Report style guide) on Patreon though, if you need any help. :)

Man if only you reviewed *all* baby gear. I would never watch another baby review channel ever again. 💕 perfect reviews
Totally agree!!!! I trust these reviews. Straight to the point and seems honest and impartial! Plus, he has a pleasant voice and doesn’t ramble!
Where has this product been all my life?! Works like a charm!
We have the babyzenyoyo for traveling and Uppababy Vista 2 for our daily stroller! Love them both so much! Very worthit for the price! 🥰
I also own the same pair! 😊
Glad theres one channel with top notch quality, unbiased information. Keep it up! Ill be here liking every video.
Yess
Based on your review, we bought yoyo and trailz. We’re happy. Thanks!
I just found your channel and you guys are spot-on for every review! These are my top recommended strollers. I am also jealous you got your hands on the baby jogger elite. They discontinued those here in the US years ago and I'm still holing onto an old model because I love it so much.

babyjogger is reasonably priced and good quality imo. Their three wheelers anyway
If I travelled a lot the yoyo would be perfect! I'm impressed. I totally regret not getting the Uppa Baby Vista.
The vista is amazing. He didn’t mention that it includes everything you need for the baby so it’s actually not expensive.( rain gear x2, mosquito mesh x2, car seat, toddler seat, and bassinet) Don’t forget it fits 2 kids. I do all my groceries with this bad boy.

The V2 has the abilty to extend the canopy so there is more room for an older toddler/child. Highly recommend it!
You should really include bumbleride strollers more often. I honestly think my Era out preforms a lot of these models
Could you push a yoyo through a parking lot in winter when the snow plow has been through but the new cars track in some snow?

And for the TFK Trio Twist? Someone I know is expecting twins and has a 1,5 year old. Would be great for her.
Highly recommend adding the Pronto One! I’ve been a pronto owner for 3 years and marvel at the quality, they are so sturdy and hold up beautifully.
Fantastic!! ❤
nice! I noticed you have not reviewed the Mima Xari, Can you guys do so ? I am totally getting the yoyo after this video!

About 6’2 as a primary stroller No. especially if you have wide shoulders it will feel uncomfortable as well you for feet hitting the rear wheel.
