Loved the uppa a lot but ended up getting the City Select because it's much more accommodating for 2 kids. Don't have my car yet but I'm hoping it fits in the trunk. At least I told my wife it won't be a problem at all

McLaren umbrella. That's all you need. Really. you are good forever. Can put the child in after maybe 4-6 months until they outgrow it.

If you need to wheel around a detachable car seat base, get one of those frames that's built to carry the seat.

If you need a jogging stroller, don't get one unless you are really going to run. And then if you do, get a Bob. They are amazing. They glide so smoothly, they have a strap to keep it from running away from you. Seriously.

A lot of these other strollers chew up a SHITTON of trunk space. My wife thought she needed one of those full feature monsters. She regretted the hell out of it and for baby 2 never bothered. We sold it before then, used the MacLaren and couldn't have been happier.

You are in NYC, thus you will have two types of needs:
1). Primary stroller to take your kid out to the park in comfort, summer through winter. If money is no object, Bugaboo Cameleon with independent suspension (incredibly helpful if you ride over cobble stones) is the best. It folds nicely into the trunk, and has as many accessories as an M3.

2). Backup stroller while going through subways and other forms of public transit where quick folding small stroller is best. Maclaren Volo or similar.
http://www.maclarenbaby.com/Strollers

Both can be had for way under MSRP ;-)

I had both.
Both lasted 5+ years without any issues to speak of.

We had a Stokke Xplory as our main stroller, and as others have said, a McLaren for when space or weight is an issue.

We have a Uppa Baby Vista as the primary stroller, and a Uppa Baby Glite as travel stroller. Vista definitely fits in the M3, as I have carried that around a few times. I haven't tried the Glite yet, but it should fit too (it's quite long though). Stroller is really a personal choice, so you and your wife need to go and test them to see what works best. Also, don't be surprised if your baby end up forcing you to change stroller later on. We initially bought a Britax B-Agile that worked well when our daughter was in the infant seat, but she wanted out of that thing as soon as she was put into the main stroller seat itself. The reason is she wanted to sit upright, which most light weight stroller wouldn't let you do it.

All these strollers are good but they all have their flaws. As long as you know you can't find a perfect stroller, you'll be fine with any of them.

We have the baby jogger city select. It is a nice stroller and fits our needs but it is a bit on the heavy side and is rather wide (especially with the rear wheels attached). Don't have an M3 but have a C400, so I'm sure the trunk space is semi close to comparable and I can tell you that the trunk can hold the city select and a large suitcase and that is about it. If I had to do it over again I would have gone with something else like the others here have suggested.

We have a uppa vista and gluxe as the travel. Mainly bought the vista for the storage although it takes up a ton of trunk space.

Someone mentioned being able to sit upright, on the vista it's pretty damn good. My 21 month old still doesnt complain unless she wants to run around. On the gluxe it doesn't sit as upright. We only use it for travel so so far it hasnt been an issue.

All good recommendations here.

We have uppababy vista and glite. We chose the glite (I think it's discontinued) instead of glux because it's lighter and we already have the vista for everything else. Vista is a little heavy for the wife but she loves it other wise.

Go to the store and give all of them a test drive.

I used one of these:

Pic was selected you guys in mind but I am too lazy to go around with strollers ever. I've carried my kids till they've walked and then they've been on their own. Worked well for me, and I didn't have to haul around stuff and I had two free arms to use.

They work and it is impossible to look as stupid as that guy above does in real life. His wife has truly hated him.

Peg-Perego Si

Absolutely love it. Folds down nice and tidy with one simple pull, it is also very light and sturdy. We've had ours for 4 years now for 2 kids. It accompanied us on several trips including our 4 week M4 ED last summer. We could fit two medium luggage, one small carry-on type luggage, two soft bags and the stroller in the trunk of the M4. You can also strap the Peg-Perego baby shell on it.

Do you think the city select with two seats will fit in the trunk comfortably?

Picking a stroller is harder than picking a car!

I'm thinking either baby jogger city select or uppa Vista and also a Maclaren for travel etc.

If anyone has any pics with the stroller in the boot of a m3, feel free to share

Uppababy Vista is great and you can add the second seat if you want. We have the Uppababy Glite for quick travels. Both have been excellent and they are built very well.
