Which one are you getting?? I would like a travel system.

I know Chicco has the higher safety rating, but I think I like the look of the Gacco better. Of course I plan on using this again when we have a second child.   Keeping that in mind, I was reading a review somewhere online where is said Chicco does not offer a tandem travel system, they only have a side by side. And the Chicco car seat is not compatible w/any other tandem travel systems (Graco or Baby Trend).  Any second time mommies out there? What do you recommend?

I've read that posting via Firefox sometimes causes that.  Maybe try via IE instead?

And to answer your question, I have the Graco Snugride 32, but didn't do the matching travel system.  Instead, I have the following jogging stroller that the Graco seat actually fits right in until he's big enough to go in on his own!

Chicco is going to be offering a tandem stroller starting sometime next year...

I was told the Chico car seat does not fit onto shopping carts. Graco does. That did it for me.

I replied below but we went with the Chicco - I liked the stroller much more and we figure we'll deal with the tandem stroller when the time comes. I know some brands of strollers are compatible with the chicco carseat if you get the carseat adapter (bumbleride comes to mind) so at worst we'll just go with one of those. We plan to wait a few years so having a double stroller wasn't a deciding factor for us - the safety was.

we went w/ graco!  it seemed lighter or just easier to handle to me.  and was also told that chicco doesnt fit in shopping carts (which my sister told me was a huge lifesaver for her) so i stuck w/ graco.

Chicco purposely made it so that the car seat wouldn't be able to sit on the top of a shopping cart. There are a lot of cases out there of the carts being bumped by another cart and the car seat falling in some fashion. I would be very careful when doing this.
