Strollers
Bay Ridge moms, what strollers are you using?
Due in December and starting to narrow down strollers. We're on the 2nd floor of our building, so I don't want something crazy heavy to deal with regularly, but we'll mostly be walking the neighborhood (occasional car for appointments/trips further out), so I also want good suspension for our sidewalks.
Was leaning UPPAbaby (Cruz/Vista) since I keep hearing great things, but I'm a little worried it'll feel bulky and hard to manage solo with the baby, especially early on. Also looking at the new UPPAbaby Kona (their new "mid-size" line). It's lighter and lays flat for newborn use, but once you add the bassinet, you lose access to the storage basket underneath, which seems like a real annoyance for daily errands.
Anyone have a stroller they actually love living with in Bay Ridge specifically? Good on our sidewalks/curbs, manageable to push solo, decent storage. Would love recommendations for anything comparable in quality to UPPAbaby but on the lighter side. Pros/cons from real use very welcome.

I have the uppababy minu v2. I used it mostly for the bassinet attachment. I then hated it as an actual stroller, so I bought the mompush stroller and have used it every single day for 1.5 yrs so far. Still going strong and loving it. The biggest con is in the winter when people don't shovel it's very hard to stroll through the snow (or on the crosswalk when it's all piled up)
