Do you have a post on double strollers?
Rivka says
The Mockingbird stroller is another great option. It’s almost exactly the same as the Uppababy Vista and has all the same amenities, but for so much cheaper – $395 (plus $100 to add a bassinet). Sold from its own website and Target. Highly recommend!

Thank you for a wonderful website and content. I felt compelled to comment on this post out of concern for the unwitting damage it might do to some members of the frum community. At first glance I thought it funny that a stroller post on a website geared to normal frum women showcases the cheapest stroller at almost a whopping $550! Then I paused and felt distressed at the pain this post night accidentally cause. Obviously I didn’t expect you to only show cheap strollers and definitely not bad quality. I wasn’t surprised to see high end expensive bugaboos nor do they need to be left out. But, to say that the cheapest strollers that are acceptable cost over $500 is mind boggling. I didn’t think this site is just for the elite or rich. And I fear that it might promote keeping up with the Joneses. There are many amazing good quality full strollers in a much cheaper range -which can be evidenced by checking out probably every frum community. I feel that it’s a disservice to not showcase any less expensive but good quality strollers. And I worry about the women who will feel lacking by not having such fancy expensive strollers. Or those who will spend above their means on an unnecessarily expensive stroller. If someone can afford one of these and it fits their lifestyle and community then good for them but to make it seem like these are the only acceptable options doesn’t seem like a Torah value. Especially since when you search the internet for top strollers there are many cheaper options that come up on top on the regular non-frum sites. Just some food for thought. May we all be zocheh to greeting mashiach speedily in our days.

Chani, I’d assume it’s an advertorial as all links lead to the same store… Probably just the strollers that they promote.
Then again, you can’t compare a $400 stroller to a $1000 stroller and the title does say that this article is about the “best” strollers.
I’ll just say though that I tried out many strollers as I was adamant not to follow the crowd and get a bugaboo, but all roads kept leading there if you’re looking for quality. I have mine for a good few years now and it’s still in excellent condition. My neighbor has her bugaboo (called the Bugaboo Frog!) from 15 years ago and has used it for 6 kids and it’s still in decent condition.

Does anyone know of someone who has gotten a MomPush?
It looks the same as Uppababy Vista but for less than half the price. The reviews on Amazon are all great but I’m curious to know if anyone frum ever got it…
Rachel says
I’m surprised the Silver Cross Wave isn’t on here. It’s a similar idea to the Uppababy Vista in that it can be used as both a single and double stroller. It’s great quality and really lasts. It’s a very smooth ride too. While definitely pricier, I think it’s a lot better than the Bugaboo (after trying them both out) which is in the same price range.
