OP, check out the Nordstrom anniversary sale as well as the Albee baby, several NUNA items are on sale.

I’m going to ask Buy Buy Baby to price match the Albee Baby Balios S price. Albee Baby’s return policy is a lot more restrictive. That way if the Nuna or Balios S strollers magically go on sale between now and when I first use it (December), I can decide whether to return the $319 one.

The M has a bucket seat from what I am reading which is a negative, the whole seat reclines and the knees stay bent, but suspension matters mostly on gravel, sand, hard terrain. The S is definetly a better option.

A lot of articles say the S is a lot better than the M because of the improved suspension and seat. I haven’t found a store that still had the M out on the floor though, to feel the difference for myself.

Have you seen this one cybex balios m only $199 and basically the same thing as the S https://www.albeebaby.com/cybex-balios-m-stroller-hot-and-spicy.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=googlepla&gclid=CjwKCAjwyrvaBRACEiwAcyuzRAxb9DQPilTZ3mNfrFgFGg9N6aQIELuA5vNaf8ypyvK1cldqADxwghoCqsAQAvD_BwE

OP here. Still haven’t purchased, but I’m planning on getting the Cybex Balios S! I played around with it and the Nuna Mixx at Baby Blossom. It was great! Also, I really like Baby Blossom. You get to skip all the chaos of Buy Buy Baby. Albee currently has the Cybex for $319 with a July promo they are running, but it’s normally $399. If I see the Mixx for $399 in the coming months, I might rethink my decision, but I haven’t seen it that cheap!

Op what did you end up getting?

Love our Nuna Mixx! I’m pretty sure we’ve put close to 900 miles on it in 15 months. It’s holding up great and my dd loves riding in it. The reversible seat is definitely my favorite. It’s so easy to flip I do it while dd is riding at least once a day to face her away from the sun on morning or late afternoon walks. We tried LOTS of strollers and I never found anything to compare. We bought ours just before a new model came out so got a discount but it was worth every penny.

I’m hoping to get a great Albee baby sale (or Black Friday), for the Nuna Mixx 2.

I got a new (but last year’s) Mixx from Albee for $399.

Here is a local store that carries Sola2. http://capitalkidz.com/baby-strollers/mamas-papas-sola-2-stroller-and-bassinet-rose-gold.html They are actually selling this bundle but 2016 release year for $399 on ebay, bassinet including. Call them see if they have one to show you.
