Our son is almost two. I have a jogger (given to me for free!), an umbrella stroller (given to me for free!), and our travel stroller - a giant monstrosity that holds an infant carrier and came with a base for the car. This thing was handy, but it’s so huge! Add to that my feeling that I’m always in other people’s way, and it’s a bad combination. I tried to be one of those mom’s that assume because they have the big aisle-hogging stroller, they get the right-of-way, but I didn’t have the heart for it. I always give in and scoot us out of the way.
Anyway, I always see these cool minimalist strollers, and I finally stopped a mom and asked her what it was. It’s called a Mutsy. Who knew they made such cool, convenient strollers?
So I went to their website, and found out that they’re totally convertible. You can use the frame to hold a bassinet (which can be removed so the baby can sleep in it), an infant carrier/car seat, a regular reclining seat, and something cool called a fun seat that my son would love. It’s like bike handlebars for the baby to play with while you’re strolling. They even have an adapter so you can fit a Graco car seat into the frame.
Mutsy also sells something called a “sitter” that you can put the seat from the stroller into, and it becomes a baby rocker.
I really love this stroller - I especially like the 4Rider model, but the spider looks really handy for small-aisled shops and small trunks.
I don’t know the actual logistics involved in the switching out of all the seats, but I think it’s worth going to a store and messing around with them to see how easy or hard it all really is. I really recommend that any stroller purchase be premeditated by actual manhandling of the merchandise. “Easy to fold” is easy to say, not always easy to do. I’m also curious if they can be steered with one hand, which I find is a priority for getting through doorways.
I’d love to hear from someone else that has a Mutsy stroller.
It looks like they retail from $250 for the Spider to $679 - $699 for the Urban Rider and 4Rider. (Little rich for my blood, but if you do a lot of strolling and have the budget - it could be worth the investment.)
