At first glance it looks like your average, nice umbrella stroller, but it has one really unique feature: a reversible seat. This means your baby can either face out to the world or looking at you.
It reclines alllll the way back so an infant can use it and it’s fairly lightweight and compact.
You can check out my snazzy video that includes Commander Sally Pickles and a Princess Bride reference.
Things I loved:
- Reversible seat
- Giant canopy
- Tall handles and seat back
- Smooth ride
- Fairly compact and lightweight
- Compatible with the Cybex Aton 1 and 2, the Nuna Pipa and Maxi Cosi Cabrio and Prezi infant car seats (adapter is $25)
Things to consider:
- The basket underneath is tiny. Consider wearing a backpack if you’re going to hit the town with this stroller because stashing a diaper bag really isn’t an option. You can use the space behind the seat but only when your child is sitting upright.
- It doesn’t have a peek-a-boo window in the canopy. I totally get why though – you would need two windows to accommodate rear and forward facing. This wouldn’t be a big deal for me but some people really love this feature.
- It isn’t cheap. If you want something to just toss in your car for the occasional car trip, or you aren’t going to have a few kids to use this with, you may want to consider a more frugal option.
You can find them on Diapers.com and Amazon for around $200.

Hi,
I’m wondering if I can use my Britax chaperone carseat with vue stroller?
Thank you
There is a car seat adapter for the Britax Chaperone for the vue but I would double check with the company to make sure it would work on a vue lite. Here’s the link for it if you scroll to the bottom: http://www.babyjogger.com/product/vue/

Hey Katie, if you click the widget above the comments here you can enter the contest. Let me know if you have any trouble with it though. Good luck!
Do you know of any cheaper strollers (under $100) that you can use for newborns? Just looking for something for sidewalks around the neighborhood.
Having trouble finding ones that might be newborn friendly.
Hmmm, that’s a good question. The closest I can recommend is the Graco LiteRider (http://amzn.to/Xfw32h) but even though it reclines really far back, it doesn’t go completely flat which is what you kind of need for a newborn or they just slide to the bottom ; ) It would be great for 6 months plus though so if you paired that with an inexpensive carrier (for the really wee days) you’d be in good shape.
Does that help?
