[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the Bugaboo is awesome for city living, but I really don't see the appeal of the Uppababy strollers.  I don't think they handle well at all.  I much prefer my City Mini GT.  I live in the burbs and its perfect for getting in and out of the car.[/quote]

I'm sorry, PP, but I'm going to assume you don't have much experience with the Uppababy Vista, because it kicks the pants off the brands you mentioned for maneuverability and durability. It folds easily, rides well, and is all around a wonderful stroller, with great rear tires and details down to the quiet magnetic check-in flap. It's an entirely different class of stroller than the City Mini GT. I understand people who take issue with the Uppa price, and its corresponding expensive accessories, and I respect those who just won't spend that much on a stroller. But pretending you "much prefer" a City Mini for any other reason is silliness. I'm not into status symbols. I don't wear expensive brand name clothes. My economy car is seven years old. But everyday, I am glad that I splurged on the Uppa. [/quote]

lol.  You seem very defensive about your stroller choice.[/quote]

The uppababy vista is all of the things you stated but you forgot one thing......it is extremely heavy!  It also takes up a lot of trunk space.  And forget about airplane travel with it.  I have one and within 6 months I bought a jeep stroller for $50 on Amazon.  I love it so much more - so light, so easy to open and close, and so much easier to get in and out of the car.  Not to mention it takes up so much less space.  The uppababy is great for walking around the neighborhood but I was very disappointed that after all that money, I still needed additional strollers.
