Hi Jen,

We ended up with a Britax B-Ready stroller. The handle doesn't
reverse, but the seat does. the handle also lowers to a hight that
makes it great for pulling. We feel that since we plan to use a
wearable baby carrier most of the time, this stroller will meet our
needs.

The City Select had been suggested by a few people, but we opted for
the Britax because of the incredible deal we found on Amazon. It
retails for $500 but was selling for $400, and we got the Britax
Chaperone infant car seat, retailing for about $230, free with our
purchase of the stroller. We just couldn't pass up that deal! I was
prepared to send the stroller back if we didn't like it, but we were
able to check it out at Buy Buy Baby, and we're happy with it.

Like you, I'm not looking forward to lugging a stroller on public
transportation. I think we will be able to avoid this in almost all
instances, though, with the wearable carrier. It should be quite a
while before he's too big for the carrier. Have you used a carrier
like the Ergobaby?

Best,

Angie
