Pretty sure Buy Buy Baby is out of business. We have a Vista and it’s awesome for suburban stroller-walking, especially w the basket attachment that can hold
35lbs. That said, it takes up the entire trunk of my crossover SUV and was way too heavy for me to lift into the car by myself post C-section. It is also ridiculous for crowded cities. I’m used to it now and love it, but not positive I’d recommend it.

Yeah, I love the vista as a stroller that stays at home. I usually recommend the Cruz over it because I think the vista is slightly too big (though it served me well with a three year age gap, where my older one could walk but sometimes just sits on the bottom of the stroller for a break.)

It’s not an only stroller though - you definitely need something more portable and easily foldable for traveling. We have an uppababy minu and a citymini gt2. The citymini is also a great stroller that you could use for everyday. We bought it for traveling where we needed a larger stroller that wasn’t so expensive and is easy to fold (ie trips like Disney world.) the uppababy minu stays in the trunk of the car and is used for non Disney type trips.

There's a huge Buy Buy Baby in Springfield, and they have a large selection of strollers and car seats to try out.

There's also one in North Bethesda.

They are NOT out of business.

They are actually closing all stores again by the end of the year and focusing only on online business, so their stroller selection may be limited at this point if they are selling off store stock.

We use our gt2 daily, fits fine in the car. We have an umbrella stroller from buy nothing but I've never used it ( both a Maclaren and a uppababy gluxe) as on vacation I want the ease of gt push and tires
