a stroller expert answers:

An all terrain stroller that pops up curbs easily, has premium looks and features, and a large basket

Gem586 • 19 Jan 2024

Hello,

I’m looking for an any terrain stroller, beach/ woods etc. one that’s good at curb popping. I’ve had a Mountain Buggy before for my twins which was great but the hood was too short and sun would be in their eyes - so I need an extendable hood, brilliant suspension, luxury look, leather bumper bars, adjustable foot rest. And a big basket underneath as I walk my twins to school and put their backpacks in the stroller basket, I store the stroller in my porch so something which isn’t huge. No budget. We walk a lot, I live near countryside and the beach, need something that’s easily put up and down for the car. I’ve been looking at the Uppababy Ridge, Mountain Buggy, Thule, Baby Jogger.

Heya,

You are looking at the right brands, I would say. I personally am a huge fan of the Baby Jogger City Elite 2 - rather flat folding but really a work horse. Accessories such as a bumper bar are bought separately and are not necessarily leather-vcovered, but it is a very practical and roomy, maneuverable model.

The Ridge is also a great, practical model and definitely worth considering.

The Peg Pérego GT3 is a real workhorse, too, but that one is heavier/bulkier, but worth mentioning. And I will also mention the Bumbleride Indie which, I think, might be just ideal for most of your requirements.

P.S. If the sun shading of the canopy is not good enough, it's easily solvable - so don't make the hood a deal breaker. Just buy an extra sunshade, easy to get in baby stores or on Amazon.

Your -very berry- Eli.
