Which stroller do you think is most popular in the city?

Anonymous
Go with the city mini GT if you have stairs. It's the lightest and has great maneuvering. If you don't have stairs and can roll the stroller into your home with out folding it up, go for the uppababy.

Go for the City Mini GT if you have stairs to contend with. If not, consider the uppababy.

the GT is heavier than the regular City Mini. We have the City Mini and live on the 2nd floor walkup. We keep the stroller in the car, otherwise it's pretty cumbersome to drag the stroller up the stairs while carrying your baby when you're alone.

The City Mini is really easy to fold up and stick in your trunk. I love the maneuverability and how it feels on bumpy sidewalks.

Why do you care about popularity?

If you're trying to narrow down stroller choices, tell us about your lifestyle/what you will be using the stroller for. How many children. Where it will be stored. Etc.

You can't beat the one hand fold of the city mini plus the near complete recline. Perfect for NYC. I've owned that, Maclaren volo, the gluxe, city mini double, a baby trend double, and a bugaboo bee. The city mini is best all around.

Not OP but usually items that are popular mean they work well for others.

Uppababy if you walk more. City mini if you need to fold it and put the stroller in a car more.

I went against the current and have a (gasp) Chicco. But the mom's in my stroller strides class all have black City Minis and Lululemon workout clothes.

NW DC dweller (Mt. P to be specific). Don't drive and walk everywhere.

Started with a 4-wheel Britax B-Agile and ended up selling it because the basket was tiny and couldn't hold much other than a small bag or balled up coat. Weighed 20 lbs. and was pretty basic.

Bought a used Uppababy Cruz and LOVE it. Weighs about the same as the 4-wheel B-Agile, but has an enormous basket, generous canopy, smooth ride, can face either way, and folds small enough to be stored in a closet. I walked to Trader Joe's today and the Cruz could hold 2 large bags of groceries, 3 bottles of wine (debate prep!), 2 bottles of seltzer, and a 26 lb. child and still glide up the incline of 16th Street with ease. Highly recommend!

That sounds amazing. I cannot do that with my City Mini.

This exactly out situation except we got a used UB Vista. And we are in the suburbs. Love the features of the uppababy!

EXACTLY. I have the Vista. It's our second car. Today I fit a (large) diaper bag, 2 nalgenes of water, 3 mega bags of groceries, and my 26 pound son. Our sidewalks are horrendous and we don't even have a lot of ramps. We have no issues.

Yup - the Vista basket is absolutely massive. And even with a ton (and I mean a TON) of crap in it, it drives really well.

BASIC.

We love our Cruz. Wish it had a one hand fold, but now that my son can stand on his own it doesn't matter. The basket is MASSIVE and we love the extendable sun shade.
