i'm looking for a stroller for my 8 mos. old - does anyone have rec. for one that has the option of the child facing me as we walk? other than the bugaboo -
i really liked having my little one in the snap n go but she is growing out of her infant carrier.
How about Bertini? You can switch positions (child facing you or not). There was a model of PegPerego with similar options too.

Hi L.
I also like the option of having my daughter facing me. She is going on 3 months so i always want my eye on her!! I went with the Combi I-Thru. I got the natural sand color. There is an deep orange/olive to choose from also. It has an egg foam mattress that fully reclines, she sleeps like a champ. It can turn outward as your baby gets older. The umbrella shade is huge, zipper on shade for ventilation, comes with a footmuff, extendable legrest. I got it as a gift from Babiesrus. You can only order it online. It will only set you back $200, that is a great price for what a stroller with those options can usually run you. Considering I get all those features for the same exact price that i just bought my Maclaren Quest umbrella stroller!!!Ridiculous:)
I have a Zooper Boogie - you can flip the seat so that your child faces you or away from you. Nice big 3-wheel pneumatic tires. You can run with it too, though if you are a serious runner you'd want something with bigger wheels. Still, good for the odd 2-3 mile jog. It costs less than half what the Bugaboo costs.
You practically have to take out a loan for a bugaboo. There are so many other really nice options out there. I suggest the Bumbleride Flyer. It's one I've got my eye on!
We have a Fisher Price Infant to Toddler stroller and LOVE it!!! It's sort of Fisher Price's affordable alternative to the Bugaboo. The seat can face forward or backward, reclines really far for bitty babies or upright for older ones. It is comfortable for me to push (I am 5' 10") because it has handle bars that have 5 positions. I swear by this stroller!
