Trying to decide on a single stroller

clmchrissy · Aug 19, 2008

I have an 8mo that will be the main rider. I do not use a stroller a lot, mostly indoors. I'm looking at these: Silver Cross Pop, Chicco Trevi & C1, Mia Moda Veloce, Pliko Lite... I want to be @ $150 or less. Options I must have are a basket, recline & a worthwhile sunshade. I do have two kids so the C1 appeals to me, but honestly I had this stroller & never used (DS1 acted like he was scared to stand on the back & he doesn't need to ride often, I have a Hip Hammock I like if needed for DS2). I can't make up mind & I'm tired of buying stuff & wanting something different later.

Open to all options, TIA

ETA: Would it be worth it to splurge on a BJCM?

1000%

seriously.

I want a single, and i have a double! LOL!

I'm asking for a single for Xmas.

I have a single BJCM and I love it. I have not found a good way to shop with it yet though. The basket isn't much and you can't hang bags on the handles. I think I will get some hooks.

I have a BJ, not the mini though. I really like it, though the sun shade on my model is kinda small. I'm pretty sure this year's models have larger sun shades.

I have a C1 and I really do love it. It has the best sunshade! It is terrific to go shopping with because I can attach my (HEAVY!) Spark diaper bag to the handlebars and still hang other shopping bags without it being tippy. The basket on it isn't huge, but I can put some stuff in it, accessing it from the side. It steers really well even holding a 50lb kiddo!

The only reason I just bought a Mac Quest is because the C1 is a bit heavy. I wanted something lighter to travel with. I love the Quest, but I miss the sunshade and non-tippiness (I KNOW that's not a word, lol) of the C1.

I got a Pliko P3 off Albeebaby.com for $159 with shipping about a week ago. It's $9 more than you wanted to spend, but has everything else you were looking for, and it's an awesome stroller! I've used it everyday since I got it, and love it!

We're really loving our Peg Aria OH with the one hand fold. Lots of storage and not tippy. A really good sun shade too.

I don't know if you have a BBB Buy Buy Baby near you. But they have last years model Peg Aria for 99.99 usually 199.99. Has a great sun shade, recline and good size basket. Also folds small.

I really love the pliko lite. Not tippy at all, great canopy, recline, awesome fold(stands on its own when folded). Storage basket isn't huge, but useable, and has a great pocket on the back of the canopy. And it has a cupholder. I have had A LOT of strollers and this is my favorite, it gets used the most. My almost 5yr old will occasionally ride in it and it pushes like a dream. I know the pliko lite has been discontinued, but I think albeebaby still has them. I'm not sure how the P3 compares, it looks quite similar, though.

Really love the canopy on the Peg Perego Aria (went to BRU today). The Aria's on the Albee baby site are MUCH cheaper, would they be the same? Also,does the Pliko Lite have a similar canopy to the Aria & P3?

Only the 2007 Aria's (and beyond) have the canopy that can be pulled down to the napper bar (i.e. snack tray). And they are not interchangeable (I asked!) I would personally steer clear of the Aria, although it is a nice lighweight and small stroller, it steers like crud after baby gets to be about 18-24 months old. The more weight and the more the child moves around, the harder it is to steer with one hand, or in a straight line.
If you can swing it the P3 is AWESOME!
