Car seats in 5bw

[565565]

Sorry to bring up an old thread but how does the uppababy stroller fit in the trunk of the 5bw? Which one do (or did) you have? I have one on order and curious if we'll just have to use the umbrella stroller when we take daddy's car anywhere hah.

Massive off topic alert:

We've got entirely too many strollers. We have the Uppababy Vista 2, and the frame fits easily in the 5BW trunk. I never tried it with the stroller seat in place since I always used the adapter to put the car seat onto it. The Vista 2 was the first stroller we got due to rave reviews and recommendations, but now in hindsight it was a wasted 1000 bucks for us.

We also have a Joolz Aer travel stroller that gets infinitely more use, and recently got an Entourage 2.0 when we got a 2nd kid and our first child was 2 and an half that gets used the remainder of the time when we have to carry more stuff and both kids need to ride.

I think an all purpose system like the Vista with the bassinet, car seat adapter, stroller seat, and the ability to add a 2nd seat seems great in theory but doesn't work very well in practice. We maybe used that bassinet just a handful of times. With a single child, a robust travel stroller (like Joolz Aer or Uppababy Minu) that can accomodate a car seat will do it all at a fraction of the size and weight, and with a toddler and a new baby something more dedicated to that setup (like the Entourage) is much more ideal. You could get both for less than the price of the Vista with the accessories and add-ons you would need.

Thanks! We like the Vista and got it for like half off. Definitely gotten our moneys worth from it. That entourage looks pretty sweet but $1700 for a stroller seems crazy lol.

Glad to see young guys having babies and already have their BWs.

The day kiddos can jump in and buckle themselves in is a major breakthrough...........I counted the days till it happened and then rejoiced. My 3 kids had to pile into the back of my 5th gen Camaro.
