I have written here about my love of my Uppa Baby Vista before. I recently wore the rubber off the tires. They happily sold me new ones, since they sell all the parts. We are expecting a second child. They have a seat that converts it to a double and a ride along board for another option. When they come out with upgrades, they often sell the pieces so that older strollers can be updated.
I did not buy my stroller specifically as a green one, but it is turning out to be. Particularly since it lets us go car free, but that is a longer post.

Well I have to admit that until I read this the idea of a green stroller had never even crossed my mind…..I do try to be environmentally aware and recycle as much as I can and use green household cleaners where possible etc but this is whole new level for me. It has set me thinking about other stuff we use and never think about, I can see I am going to have to do some reserch here!

The Orbit is Oeko-Tex certified and is the only green stroller I know of in terms of being eco-friendly. Definitely not budget-friendly, though, expecially when you consider the extra pieces you will need to make it last through the toddler years. I believe they also make or made an organic version. Personally, I would never buy it, though, regardless of it’s green status. I’ve just never really liked it. I much prefer slings, and Maclarens are amazing for everyday use

We finally invested in a Burley Cub which was a lot of $$$… if we’d bypassed the other 3 strollers we barely ever used before falling in love with this one it would have been better for our budget – but live and learn.

We had one baby and started with a “system” type stroller and to it’s charm it was smaller than most, more like a sturdy umbrella stroller than the usual giant, clunky system strollers. We drug it with us when our 1st son was 8 months old on a flight to Texas and used it only once …

We then bought a single jogger type (low end) which was awesome on the beach, etc. but…

Then we had baby #2, 2 years later and thought we had to have the sit & stand kind of stroller… but our active 2 year old was not interested in sitting or standing on the thing… so all three ended up gifted/sold to friends.

We hardly ever used any of them… our babies were sling babies until they were too dang heavy to carry.

I did find a very cool and not crazy expensive, side by side double stroller that supports a whopping 100 lbs (50 lbs per seat) which is the one in our car and gets use when only one parent is around to wrangle both boys (now 20 months and 3 1/2) at the mall or for short walks – so that one serves a purpose and should last us a few more years before the monkey boys outgrow it.

But now with the Burley, we are so in love. It’s grand on the beach, of course amazing with the bike and wonderful for long walks – helping us all be more active. It’s almost completely water proof, which is a huge bonus here in the wet Willamette Valley. It’s big enough inside for the boys to be able to crash out and there’s enough storage in the model we got, you can walk to the grocery store and stow 2 or 3 bags in the back.

I love my Moby wrap to carry my daughter around. We also just purchased a second-hand Quinny stroller. I love how light and compact it is, plus it has 3 different positions to carry the baby in.
