Describe Yourself: First Time Parent
I had one of those high-priced, flashy strollers and had no end of hassle with it breaking all the time, so we started looking for a light-weight umbrella stroller. We were limited to something with adjustable handles because we are both so tall (6'0" and 6'3"). The Baby Jogger was recommended to us, and at first we said no because it was a jogger. But after looking at the various options, we are thrilled with the Baby Jogger Classic. The City Mini handles were still too short and we kicked the frame, btw. The brown/tan is really nice (and usually I buy everything in black). The one-hand fold is slick (and you can still leave some things in the pockets and close it, unlike a lot of the umbrella strollers), though you need two hands to extend it. Steering is super easy, baby seems really comfortable, perfect for big toddlers but I'd use it for an infant, too. Brake location is good and easy to use. Build quality seems really good (so says my husband who is an engineer). The Baby Jogger video for this shows vents by the baby's head in the recline position, but this model doesn't have that unfortunately.
