Stroller question: Uppababy Vista vs. Baby Jogger City Select? Suburban, first baby, pretty car dependent but love to walk around the neighborhood as much as possible.

I love the uppababy and would recommend it if you plan on walking a lot. When the babies are little, I don't believe they fit in the jogger and you have to use the car seat attachement. We did the uppababy with the bassinet and it was great for long walks. Especially if you get back home and they are still sleeping, no need to transfer them.

I have the city select GT mini aka baby jogger. My daughter is two and loves it and I like how light weight it is. I'm also expecting my second baby and been eyeing another brand as well for a double stroller option. Note I know baby jogger makes a double as well. The other brand is called ...Zoe stroller. I saw them in Instagram and am in love..they have a lot of neat travel features and are also light weight. Maybe worth checking them out too

We have the uppababy and love it! The bassinet is great for walks while they’re small! Also I think jogging strollers they need to be at least 6 months (but that might just be if you are actually jogging because they need good neck strength)

We have the city select and love it .. my parents got it for us when we had our first and worked well as a double now that we have 2. The only reason we went with that over uppababy was the price point. Has the same features, good basket, nice wheels etc but slightly cheaper

Loved my uppababy vista. We actually didn’t get it until kid #2 and it was so versatile as both a single and double stroller. and the bassinet is adorable for a newborn

Just to verify, I believe the Baby Jogger stroller is a misnomer, it’s the name of the brand but it’s not actually a jogging stroller.

Our baby is due soon so we’ve made the decision that we will only have visits from vaccinated family members (not realizing it would be an issue) only to find out that my Dad will never be getting vaccinated, planned to lie about it AND asked other family members lie to us about his vaccination status too… when we found out and asked him about it, he started to FREAK out. Now I’m questioning if we’re being unreasonable… how have you guys been handling unvaccinated people meeting your newborns??

Is it a red flag as a candidate to ask if a company offers maternity leave? I was recently laid off, so I wasn't expecting to lose my job. We're planning on trying for a baby in the next year or so, so it's really important to me that my next job offers paid maternity leave.

The issue is that it's so rarely advertised on company web sites, but ultimately better maternity leave would sway my decision for a job. Is there a way to ask this tactfully? Or without raising red flags?

Are there any mothers here who voluntarily gave primary custody to the kids father? I love my children fiercely but tbh I don’t think I’m cut out to be a single parent. Family and friends tell me I’m a great mom but at the end of the day having them on my own is exhausting and I end up just either letting them do whatever they want Bc I don’t feel strong enough to set a limit about it, or yelling at them. They’re 4 and 7 for reference. Please constructive responses only. Thank you!
