Stroller help

T

I need some advice/recommendations for strollers. For some background, we live in a town with very nice walking paths that weave in and out town. My husband and I enjoy going for weekend walks with the dog on these paths. It’s a mix of pavement, gravel, and dirt with occasional roots and rocks that need to be navigated. Sometimes grass. I expect that will be about 50-60% of our stroller use, especially in nicer weather.

I was hoping to find a stroller that was still on the lighter and more compact side (since it will be our very day stroller) but that would stand up to this use.

I was considering the Baby Jogger City Mini GT, Thule Urban Glide or Mountain Buggy MB mini. But, from what I can tell none of these have seats that can face both in and out.

Does any one have suggestions/thought on 1. Whether it really does make a difference to have the seat face both ways, or 2. Another stroller I haven’t found that is good for these uses and has a seat that faces both ways?

I’ve read that the Uppababy vista has better wheels, but the only first hand reviews I have are friends who live in the city and only have occasionally used it on gravel/grass. Have others used it more regularly on this terrain and has it held up?

Thanks so much in advance!
