Which stroller out of these two?

I really want to get a First Years Ignite stroller.
I pushed one in a store recently (with ds in it) and I loved it.
While trying to find the best deal online, I found out that Walmart has one w/ a "bumper bar" on the front and an additional cup holder on the side.
Other than those two things, the Walmart version and everywhere else version is exactly the same.

I kind of thought I wanted the bumper bar one just so he has a place to rest his hands if he wants, or it could help if he's throwing a tantrum while I'm putting him in, he can't flop himself all the way out as easily.

Walmart has it for $59 but I have a 10% discount making it about $56 before tax. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=15550299

Kohls has it for $58 but (supposedly if the codes work) I can get 30% off and free shipping, making it about $40 http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/kid...he+first+years+Ignite+Red+Stripe+Stroller.jsp


I don't know what I want to do. I love the $40 price, but part of me thinks I need the bumper bar.

Which would you pick out of the two?

Personally I think it would be easier to get an unhappy kid in without the bar in front. No trying to get his legs underneath.

I had a Chicco Caddy which was a similar looking stroller and it was never an issue not having anything in front. I personally don't think the bar would be worth that price difference especially. GL deciding!

That's a good point too, not having to get his legs under it.
The bar opens up too, there is a button on the front and if you push it, the bar swings open.
If I could price match w/ Walmart and they would both be $40, would you still want the one without the bar?

Id go with the one from kohls.

Cause of the bar.

Although a happy kid may like the bar thay are not always happy.

I'd get the one with the bar. We have a bar on our regular home stroller, and have a Mac Volo without, for travel. We missed the bar on our recent vacation with the Volo.

Pros to the bar:
  • prevents DS from lunging out of the seat (espec. if he's tantruming - Volo harness is not tight enough and seat gives);
  • DS likes to chew on it when he's bored and teething;
  • it's a place to hook on a few toys;
  • you can buy a caddy deal that wraps around the belly bar and can hold a sippy, snacks, and toys for kiddo.
