Answer
Most definitely the Baby Jogger City Select! I have one myself and I love it for several reasons
1. Can be used as double, or single when one gets too big for it (and then back again if you have another!
2. the option of the bassinet casing for a seat, which later converts back, also love the carseat adapters... very easy to use and remove.
3. Super easy to fold up, and fold FLAT. All in one simple motion
4. Lots of storage options. The storage area underneath expands, and the handlebars have lots of accessory options, including full size backpacks. And, they don't tip even when you have a lot of weight on the handle bars.
5. Very maneuverable. I live in Boston with legendarily uneven sidewalks. I can get around just fine, and without too much bouncing.
6. Accessories: a self leveling drink holder (you have no idea how great that is on hilly roads). Storage cover- compact enough to use as carry-on on international flights. Belly bar- instead of food tray (also available) the belly bar gives something for kids to grab onto and allows them to lean out more. This was perfect for the zoo and watching the duckies go by.
7. Adorable! It does not look like any other stroller out there, yet has a nearly old world charm in the dark colors (I got black). I get questions all the time on it.
8. great if you baby wear- I wore my infant in a wrap while pushing my twins in the stroller. The handlebar was just the right height for me not to struggle.
Downsides? Can be costly to get new accessories, not the best 'jogger' but will do ok, not usually on sale.

Any advice on taking a 7 month old camping?
Flower84
Hi, we're due to go to the french alps region camping this July for 2 weeks. Our baby will be just over 7 months old then and will be the first time we've taken him camping. My partner is really keen to ge one of the really big tents with a few bedrooms and the inside with the carpet and awning etc.. and all the extras like kitchen style camping units and we'd be on a pitch with a hook up. So it would be pretty spacious camping. I think we would maybe be better getting a static caravan or chalet this year and waiting to do the tent thing next summer when he's well over a year and a half. I'm worried it may be hard to keep baby cool in a tent if the weather is quite hot.
Does anyone have any advice or has anyone had experience of taking a young baby camping like this?
Thanks guys!
Answer
7 months is actually a great time to take a little one camping... my son did his first camping trip at 5 months and it was perfect, we set up a pack and play outside under the trees near us and he loved looking at the redwoods moving in the breeze and watching the birds, squirrels and other animals. At that age, it's not like they're climbing out of the crib, so a pack and play is a great sleeping solution too, if your baby isn't a good sleeper you may want to set up the pack and play or whatever sleeping arrangement you plan in advance. While tent camping, we packed along our jog stroller and used the infant cocoon for a bed for our daughter when she was 4 months. http://store.philandteds.com/phil-and-teds-cocoon-sport-explorer-classic-twin-hammerhead.pro
Don't forget sunblock and wide brimmed hats - start putting them on baby early because then they'll be more apt to keep them on. Dressing in layers is always key. Our little ones went everywhere in a baby backpack with a canopy to shade them, similar to http://www.kelty.com/p-281-fc-30.aspx?category=kids and my DH and I would take turns carrying the little one and carrying a backpack with supplies/our stuff on day hikes. Go on a couple hikes around home so the baby is accustomed to the carrier. If you're breastfeeding, food shouldn't be a problem and even if you're not, a kitchen will make it easier to prepare formula.
Actually, next summer will be the trying one... your little one will be toddling everywhere and not have the vocabulary/discipline to know boundaries.
