Stroller confusion!

There are so many strollers to choose from.. Everyone has an opinion and everyone thinks different to me! Apparantly it's been suggested we need 3 strollers, I don't get why just yet, I understand maybe the main pram, and a lightweight foldable one, but the third, if it's for jogging, I walk, and the regular stroller will do just fine and dandy!

So we went to Buy Buy Baby, and there were a ton of different ones to look at there, we really only looked at the Bugaboo Chameleon (my main fancy) and the Peg Perego something-or-other that was suggested to us as the 'favourite' by the fresh faced boy working in the stroller department! I just don't know... I want something substantial, and i'd be lying if I said I did not care about what it looked like, but I do. So here are some options;


  1. Sola Truffle by Mamas and Papas - $399. The main thing that stood out from the others was the max weight, it holds up to 50 lbs instead of the regular 32 lbs. Additional accessories available.
  2. Vista Stroller by Uppa Baby - $679. This one actually looks like an all-round winner. It seems lightweight, has one handed fold-away with or without seat, spacious under basket, foam/rubber wheels, washable easily and multi-function covers rain or mozzie.
  3. Vibe by Phil & Teds - Not sure how this is better than the others, but I have used this and it handles well, packs easy, and I guess may be good in the future for another child with the adaptable seat addition.
  4. Bugaboo Cameleon by Bugaboo - $880. I just love this one! The max weight is the only down side, which holds up to 37.5 lbs, but I don't know where we'll be at that point, I know my nieces haven't used a stroller for ages, just because they don't want to.. I don't know if it would be an issue.
So just by looking through these strollers and comparing websites and magazines for the last couple hours, I think I am liking, the Bugaboo Cameleon still and also the Vista Stroller!
