Needing Advice: Virtual Doula for Teen Moms

Hi everyone, my organization recently began offering doula (prenatal, birth, and postpartum)services to teen moms statewide (we're in California, so depending on where they are, a lot of them will be virtual).

We are allowed to travel for their birth, but depending on how fast it happens, I'm assuming we might not always be able to physically be there on time. Which, I guess, a postpartum doula is better than nothing.

If anyone has advice or tips on navigating virtual prenatal and postpartum care and traveling long distances (anywhere from 2 to 8 hours) for births, I would love some insight.

Info that might be helpful: we will meet with the girls once a week or every other week, depending on their needs. They also have access to us for a while after birth (like 9 to 12 months).

Thanks in advance!

Is the Uppababy Vista worth it?

I found a v1 model on marketplace for $300, it comes with as the regular stroller with the bassinet, the second rumble seat, the piggy back kick board, and snack trays and adapters.

We only have one 9 month old right now but plan to get pregnant in the next 12 months. Is this a good deal? I want a stroller that will last for both babies but can’t afford to buy something like that new. I could get a cheaper single stroller but don’t want to have something new when new baby comes. Am I being unrealistic, would the vista last another 3 to 4 years?

We currently have the doona and while it’s nice for quick errands and traveling it’s destroying my pelvic floor lol and need something sturdy for long walks and outings (we go to the zoo and arboretum and museums a lot).
