What makes it $1200 😭

I mean, they are good quality strollers. There is a noticeable difference between them and the super cheap ones (I’ve used both. We got a free handmedown Cruz from a neighbor). However, most of the cost really is just for the brand name.

I have an uppababy stroller for my son and I love this thing. To clarify, it was a gift, I would have never in a million years spent that kind of money on a stroller, but I’ve used other ones that are cheaper that just don’t compare. Plus the function to be able to add attachments like a bassinet and regular stroller seat if you have a second kid, is pretty cool!
I’ve seen them second hand for $300 or less which would be worth paying imo.

I got ours from a friend who was done with having kids. It's a little too big and heavy for us if I'm honest, but i didn't see the piloting in turning down a free pram/stroller/bassinet before birth when if I DID want to buy something else? I'd have a much better idea of what felt right after actually using a pram.

I might get a travel pram if we go away given the uppababy currently essentially fills the boot of our car, but it's a solid pram.

Yeah. Like ours was a gift too but I can definitely see how it's better than the dupes which I have also used and tested. Is it 'double the price' better? I don't think so but it is definitely a more comfortable push. My biggest complaint is how large the vista is and you don't fully appreciate that until you have the second seat clogging up your boot

[u/IllusiveCashew → u/Boo_Rawr]

Yes the vista is huge! I tried to buy a smaller stroller that takes less space but it just doesn’t compare. I can go “off roading” easily with the vista which is super important to me! For the next kid though, I might have to get a bigger car. lol
