Infant Cosi Baby
A look at what is currently available on eBay
Which is the best stroller for the money that you can adjust so the baby/child is facing you?
I'd like one where the child can face and communicate with you, like the Quinny Buzz, Maxi-Cosi Foray, Stokke Xplory or Bugaboo Frog. However I don't necessarily want to spend $800 or $1,000 for a stroller (which you do with the Frog and Xplory) because I don't know how much I'll really use it. Suggestions?
Also it does not HAVE to accommodate an infant seat as I will be primarily wearing my baby until about 1 year or so.
I want one that is ADJUSTIBLE so it can be either forward or rear-facing. I didn't ask you whether or not I should get one, I asked which one to get. It facilitates communication, you can't interact with your child when you can't even see them.
Heather B, did you even read the question? That one does not have the rear-facing option and I do not need (or want, really) a carseat/infant carrier with it.
Hey there,
This is a really tough question to answer because these are all top-of-the-line strollers with great features. I work for an upscale baby products retailer, so I know all of these strollers really well.
First, if this is your first child, are you planning on having more? If so, the $800 - $1,000 investment is worth it as these will last. Also, do you have a girl or a boy? I ask because the color options would impact my decision. If you have a girl, the hot pink and orange Quinny Buzz is hard to beat. (If you like bright colors, that is.) Are you a runner? If you know you'll be buying a jogger too, you can opt for a city style choice like the bugaboo or XPLORY.
The Quinny Buzz is hard to beat because it's so easy to use, manuever, fold, open, etc. The soft material on the seat really cushions your baby creating a comfortable "nest" that keeps baby content and cozy. The seat is very easy to turn and the handlebar is height adjustable. The only complaint I hear is some parents think the stroller is too wide and they want something more streamlined. If you don't have an SUV, make sure it will fit into your trunk when folded.
What's great about the XPLORY is it keeps dirt, dust and debris out of baby's face. And baby gets to see people's faces instead of people's feet. If you tend to shop indoors or on flat surfaces, this is a great stroller. If you need something that can bounce and bump, choose one with bigger wheels.
I know you've picked your favorites... Just throwing this out there. I'm surprised you didn't mention the Orbit Infant Travel System. It's in that price range ($899) and one of the most popular strollers in the market. Thanks to Hollywood moms buying it, it's become our most popular upscale stroller. Maybe you've seen it and didn't like it. If not, you should look at it. It was created by engineers and it's really amazing. It turns 360 degrees, so you can face baby every which way. It's wild. http://www.babyearth.com/orbit-baby-orbit-infant-system.html
Anyway, my vote? 1. Quinny Buzz 2. Stokke 3. Bugaboo 4. Maxi-Cosi
Hope this info helps you!
