So, while at the the playground this morning I had a city mom friend inquire about my stroller hooks. I have several on my Bumbleride stroller and really think they are the MUST have stroller accessory here in the city. 
I am always hanging something on there– today it’s Aria’s wet bathing suit and countless times it’s my Trader Joe’s groceries just after I’ve already filled my bottom basket with wine from their wine shop. I can’t tell you how crazy I am about my hooks, and I definitely see them as a must have, even for those mom’s pushing around the UPPAbaby strollers which have enormous baskets (actually, I see one right now across the way here at the park and she too has a hook– confirmation.)
So, I have the Mommy Hook (picked mine up at Babies R Us) and although it broke on me once (to be fair that was likely my fault as I tend to overload), I purchased it again because it’s big, fits well on the handle and is easy to maneuver. I also have buggy guard B Hook which is a hook and lock in one, which comes in handy if you even need to lock your stroller to a gate or chain like I did the other day when I didn’t want to drag it into a restaurant. I also had some hooks by sunshine kids which I don’t recommend because they broke within the first week or two, and I also just picked these up by Muchkin but have yet to try them out (and, yes, I am a bit obsessed).
So, I am a huge fan of the hooks but you do need to be careful not to overload them or you risk the stroller falling backwards from the weight. Hence, me always making sure I fully fill the bottom basket with wine or some other heavy groceries before I add the excess to the hook. Bottom line– must have!
