Here we talk about all things baby.
Want a baby
Having a baby
Playing with a baby
Watching someone else’s baby
Baby accessories
Baby pictures
We do not talk about baby hate here. There’s plenty of that. You can discuss our stupidity and poor financial choices behind our backs in OT chat.

So. Strollers. What ya got? Do you like it? Any tips for a new to be dad shopping for a wheelie chair?
Everyone all up in it for the Uppa Baby Cruz but I think it looks like a giant hospital contraption. The Baby Jogger GT seems more up my alley. Remember I need something that packs small for the bus or subway and can handle bombed out infrastructure.
Side bar: strollers are DIRT F’N CHEAP used.

We used a Baby Trend Expedition when she was a tiny munchkin. The bigger wheels kick ass for rolling over anything; fields, roads, whatever.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2020 9:27 pm So. Strollers. What ya got? Do you like it? Any tips for a new to be dad shopping for a wheelie chair?

After that we switched over to the Mclaren Triumph, and we keep one in each vehicle now. Hardly using them now doe.

It looks nice for sure. Price point seems rough. Used they’re reasonable.[user not found] wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2020 10:10 pm The Uppa is fucking awesome. We did Bobs and loved em... For those first six months having something that works with your car seat is key
Yeah I want a stroller that can accept a car seat. Just seems to make more sense. If it has a bassinet too that’s great, that way if it falls asleep while cruising we can bring it in and just let it sleep in the thingy.

Johnny. For the love of all that is good and holy, travel with you child like a Navy Seal Team. Tight, light, combat ready. Packable lightweight aluminum stroller. Gear in a tight packpack.
Don't be that couple rolling into Applebee's with the "Jeep" stroller wider than a Hellcat Widebody with more suspension than a Ford Raptor. 3 water bottles. 4 juice bottles. Snacks. 5 diapers. These are the people that need to be killed Johnny. Stand and deliver.

I’m all about compact and light traveling when possible.

We were gifted an Evenflo Pivot Modular traveling system which comes with the car seat, base, and foldable stroller component. Comes with a bassinet modular one as well if you’re not traveling by car or just taking a brisk walk.
I am not an expert by any means but it works well for us for an “all in one solution”. We also have a KeyFit 30 car seat in my car. Wish we didn’t get gifted two separate car seats so we could’ve just had one and modular’d it.

plus with all the tactical stuff being “in” these days, you cal look like a Navy Seal Team while doing it. I actually like that style of stuff and will probably lean towards it when IDesertbreh wrote: ↑Sun Feb 02, 2020 12:17 am Johnny.

Both of my boys found it too restricting unfortunately but we didn't bother looking in fancy contraptions that might work better then what we inherited.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Sun Feb 02, 2020 9:11 amYeah I think this is how we will roll most of the time.[user not found] wrote: ↑Sun Feb 02, 2020 7:29 am Also, wearing the baby is even better.

Owned a Peg Prego stroller and it worked for us for both boys but it was bulky and squeaky and I can't really endorse it.

it's like a budget version of some expensive thing.
agree with [user not found], you need a carrier base, and a stroller that accepts the carrier the first 6 months. the Britax then converts to a regular stroller. it's pretty light too.

So we were gonna do the Britax, all in on it, whole entire system, and then we found out the specific one we wanted the front wheel falls off randomly.... so.... Scratched that, even though there's a 98% chance nothing goes wrong on it.Big Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Mon Feb 03, 2020 7:27 amwe got the Britax I believe.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2020 9:27 pm So.

We landed on the Baby Jogger City Mini, which should be great. They're readily available used for dirt cheap and seem to hold up ok enough.
Car seat we are going to go with the Graco line. Snugride 30 or 35. Whatever the parents want to buy us.

DIAPER BAGS!
Aight. What you guys got for a single kiddo? Lisa is going trying to find one she likes and has a spreadsheet with 12 bags on it
Want something compact, smallish, good for a couple hours out. Any long trips we'd just bring an extra tote bag anyway or keep extra supply in the car.

Also... how you guys storing boob juice? Making a hoarde in the freezer seems to be the recommended way to go. But buying an endless supply of single use plastic baggies to freeze it seems fucking retarded.
