I'm deciding between three. The City Select Jogger, the Quinny Moodd, and the Stokke Xplory. Does anyone know anything about the above three? The Xplory is mostly for the look, but I don't know if it is practical. My #1 choice right now is the City Select Jogger, especially because you have the option of adding the extra seat...
 
Love the stokke xplory, and keen on the other two on your list also. For us we will sell our maclaren techno xt (amazing, but a single) for a icandy peach blossom either version 2 or 3. Ummed and ahhed over it for months but am now dead set that's the one for us. What are your must have features and negotiable features or do the above 3 tick all of your boxes leaving it down to personal choice? X
 
I had the bugaboo gecko with ds1 until he was 1ish the bought the out n about nipper which i loved so will be buying the newer version for ds2 :)
 
We have the bugaboo donkey ordered :)
I loved the look of the stokke in mothercare my little man is disabled though and can't walk so I needed a tank lol

I'm also getting the bugaboo donkey, can't wait I love them. I have a quinny moodd which I'm now getting rid of as I'll need a two seater. I can honestly say it's lovely looking but not very practical. I have the pink one with the white frame. Everywhere I went someone would
Comment on it but I barely used it as it is so impractical. We have a big car but it would still take up lots of boot space. It would be very hard to wash the seat pad as it is not removeable and is not the best material for wiping. It would go bobbly. The rain cover is not that amazing. The basket is pretty much none existent and it is very wide where the back wheels are and was not easy to manoeuvre around small
Spaces. The hood is small and does not give any shade protection from the sun. You will always need an additional
Parasol. In the plus points, it has a good braking system and the handle bat is easily adjustable. It's easy enough to have front or rear facing.

Thanks ladies, based on your reviews and what is available here, I'm now 100% going with the City Select Jogger. It just seems the most practical. The Bugaboo Donkey looks awesome but I haven't seen that brand here in Canada.
 
Well after having tried all sorts over the years including icandy peach blossom, quinny buzz, bugaboo donkey, bugaboo cameleon 3, oyster, and a cosatto, (and hated them all), I've gone for a much smaller, fold in one lightweight pram and got a bugaboo bee plus. I love it set up with the cocoon for a newborn, I love that I can still attach a car seat and I love how light it is and that it folds as one without having to take the seat unit off like the others. The bee 3 is out soon and I'm tempted to buy the carrycot which is new to the bee, as it's compatible with the plus. But from past experience twice I just know the carrycot will be used only a handful of times and instead baby will be in the carseat! Will be attaching a buggyboard to it so that my middle daughter has that option as she'll be 2 years 9 months when baby is here and while she loves to walk I want the option there for her. Will most likely get the easy x rider one which has a seat so she can sit down if she gets tired.

If I was you I would go for the stokke! Love that one! I have the icandy peach 2 for my daughter and will be turning it it a double (makes a really good double pram) but when I was shopping for one with DD it was between the stokke, icandy and Quinny mood. I would deffo say the stokke is better than the Quinny mood!

If you can take a look at icandy too, they are awesome and so reliable! xx
 
I've put my pram on lay by. I'm getting the city select baby jogger. I tried every pram in the shop and when baby comes I'll have a newborn and a 2.5 year old so I'll have the two seat option if I need it. It was the best by far for me :)
 
Getting the bugaboo buffalo. Its a newer version of the cameleon. I also looked at the donkey, great stroller but pretty large for just one child.

The buffalo has the extended canopy. We also wanted to make sure that whatever stroller we got had bassinett
 
I forget. I know we got a Graco travel system I think
It's in the box in the living room. Haven't touched it since it got here.
 
I was going between icandy and bugaboo for ages, then walked into shop seen 3 prams next to each other and ended up opting for the silver cross pioneer!! X
 
we have decided on the oyster max :) absolutley in love with it, so light and easy to push around, and i love the different ways you can have the kids on the frame :) its so compact when folded too, i dont drive so i rely on public transport & its very slim line frame which means i wont be trying to fight with it to get on a off buses :) & you can buy colour packs to suit ur preference :) ..
ooh i cant wait to go put deposit down on it soon haha!
happy shopping ladies :) xx
 
I plan on purchasing a Chariot. It can be used for walking, running and cycling. The only downside is that it's on the expensive side. Oh well. DH and I lead a very active life, so we will get a lot of use out of it.

I also plan on purchasing a no-nonsense umbrella type stroller when the baby gets a little older. I'm hoping a body carrier and the Chariot can be used for a few months when the baby first gets here.

Awww....I'm getting the donkey also...but I didn't view is as a "tank" lol....maybe I better look around again!
 
I ordered icandy strawberry I found it not so bulky as the others and it suited my budget. hopefully it wont dissappoint
 
I have the xplory. 10/10 for looks, brilliant seat unit but absolutely no suspension!

Thanks for letting me know - also, how is folding it up? Is it simple or do you have to take it apart first? We will be in and out of the car a lot...
