The Quest To Find The Right Baby Stroller

As the D-day approaches nearer, we're finalizing the things that BabyP needs and one of the most difficult part is finding the right baby gear for our little one.

I was in the quest to find the perfect stroller for our little one but it's not that easy to decide which one to choose. Deciding what stroller to buy is like buying a car. There were lots of things that needs to be considered like the weight of the stroller, suspension, chassi, safety features, design, etc. I am also considering the price range of the strollers available in the market.

There were 3 strollers that I've considered before showing it to bear. 1st is the Quinny Buzz. I got familiarized with this stroller as my two bestfriends who had their first baby two years ahead of me both uses Quinny Buzz. Me and bear really find Quinny Buzz sleek and we're also fascinated with it's futuristic look. 

US price is $580 plus shipping cost to the Philippines will roughly total to around USD700 or around PHP 35k.

Being a net-savvy, I've spent most of my time researching on baby gears on the internet, watching videos and reading reviews, I've come to noticed the Britax B-Agile which is one of the top baby strollers in the US in terms of it's specs and pricing. It's a lightweight compact stroller at only 17 lbs and it has the click and go feature, one-hand folding system. It has parking brake for safety and wheels has suspension.  Britax is known in the US as makers of quality car seats. I've shown this to bear and since we've read good reviews about it and the specifications seems right to what we're looking for, we both considered the Britax B-Agile in our shortlist.


US Price at Amazon is $189 plus the shipping cost to the Philippines would still come cheaper than the price at the mall which is PHP20k++
The 3rd one is Graco Trekko Stroller. It's a 3-wheel stroller with sleek design and is actually the cheapest of all at only $140 plus the shipping cost to the Philippines. It's heavier than Britax B-Agile weighing 29.4 lbs. The price is just right however, upon reading the reviews, I found out that the wheels doesn't have shock absorbers, very bulky and the material doesn't seem like the breathable kind , which means your child will be uncomfortable.
Overall, The Britax B-Agile Stroller won and we've finally decided to purchase it online and have it shipped to the Philippines. We've carefully considered different criterias and we think we made the right choice in terms of price range, quality and design. As the mom-to-be, I am really excited for the delivery of Baby P's stroller! ;)
