I'm looking to buy a new carriage. I would like one that has a bassinet for a newborn, so it can sleep comfortably and then have a seat for when they are older. What are some good quality durable brands out there? There are so many! Anyone have personal experience with any that they like a lot?

U mean that the actual seat can be used for either seat or bassinet?

Uppa baby vista and Bugaboo are supposed to be very good.

I have a bugaboo and I really dislike it. I don't know why everyone has it. (I only have it because someone gave it to me used.)

I have the Britax B-Ready with the Affinity bassinet. While I love how it looks and how it pushes it does have a few cons as well:

1) It is very heavy to lift up stairs and into a car trunk

2) When used as a double the child in the bottom seat will explore the contents of the basket, often emptying it out.

3) It only folds with the seat facing forward.

4) It's a pretty wide stroller. It's almost as wide as a Mountain Buggy Duet.

Is there a large baby store in your area where you can try out a few strollers to see how they feel? Almost any decent stroller brand will have a good warranty and will service your stroller if you have a problem.

Thank you so much for all your responses.
I mean that the frame can have an insert for either a bassinet or a seat.
Are there any more strollers out there that have that besides for the uppa baby or bugaboo?
Thank you

There are a lot of options! There's the Mutsy, City Select, Mima, plus a lot of strollers that are actually affordable Smile

I have the mutsy Evo. I love the look and it's very easy to wheel. The bassinet is higher than the bugaboo, which is a big pro. I have it only for two months so don't know how it holds up after long term use

I love my uppababy vista. The bassinet is approved for overnight sleeping, too, so I bought the bassinet stand and used it as my daughter's bed for the first 7 months. I also have the uppababy gluxe umbrella stroller and love that accessories, such as the footmuff, are interchangeable between the two.

Bassinet is bigger but isn't certified for overnight sleeping but then again why would I bring the stroller into my room

Thank you all for your responses! I like that the uppababy is certified for overnight sleeping as it would make it easier for travel... are any of the other bassinets also for overnight sleeping?
Also I see there are 2 different bassinet options for the city select- which one do you have and what's the practical difference?

Thank you!

Britax Affinity bassinet is approved for overnight use. I would leave my stroller at the entranceway and bring the bassinet upstairs with my sleeping baby. I used it instead of a crib for the first six months.

The bugaboo bassinet is also certified for overnight sleeping, and they sell a stand you can put it on so it becomes like a bassinet
