Hello! FTM to be here. Due August. Never knew there was so much to consider when buying baby stuff. Whew! I think I've narrowed it down to two (and a half?) options. I have it narrowed down to the Cruz, the Mixx Next, or maaaayybe the Buggaboo Fox Renew? I'd love your feedback! I have a list of features to consider:

  • Adjustable handle (needs to accommodate someone 5’7” and 6’1”)
  • Bassinet insert-compatible, car seat compatible OR can go into FULL bassinet mode (fully flat)
    • Backup: Does regular seat go fully flat?
    • Bassinet approved for overnight use? (Ideal but maybe not required)
  • Accommodates car seat
  • Storage beneath baby seat
    • Weight limit?
    • Can access basket with seat reclined?
    • Hidden pockets for phone/keys
  • Good turn radius
  • Smooth feel over uneven paving (think downtown sidewalks, maybe local park terrain [bumpy but flat])
    • Rubber or foam-filled tires
    • All-wheel suspension
  • Good sun canopy (hot, sunny climate)
  • Single-hand fold ideal
  • Lightweight enough for Mom to pick up solo
  • High landscape/table height
  • Consider a heavy-duty one that’s more all-terrain AND a super lightweight, basic one for cheap
  • Fold size:
    • Will it fit in trunk with groceries?
    • Does seat fold? (N/A if using car seat, I guess)
  • Harness & buckle
    • No-rethread harness
    • Magnetic or easy buckle
  • Push feel
    • One-hand push feels good and controlled
