Which travel system?

Nautical2012

I have become so overwhelmed with trying to choose a stroller and infant seat, and not knwing what would work together and what needs an adapter.  Originally, I thought I'd get the graco snug ride 35, but then we'd have to find a stroller to match.

So, I began looking at travel systems.  Does anyone have either of these, and if so, could you provide feedback?

Baby Trend Expedition Travel System - Millennium

or

 Britax B-Agile Travel System - Black

Out of those two I would go with the Britax B-Agile travel system.  It's the better option by far and it's actually the only travel system bundle I would consider.

I'd pick the carseat that works best for you, and then find a stroller that works best for you.   A la carte.  NOT a travel system.

You can still go with the Graco carseat without having to buy a Graco stroller. There are many strollers out there that have adapters compatible with Graco seats.  I got a City Select with an adapter and used that for the whole time LO was in her infant seat.  It was wonderful.  You take the seat right off the frame and clip in the adapter, it stays on when you fold it up in your vehicle.  Then you just have to unfold the stroller frame, clip the seat in an go!

There are many other strollers too that would be compatible with a Graco seat.  Find a baby boutique with a wide selection so you can test drive some models.  Consider what you want the stroller to do, ie: are you a runner and need a jogging stroller eventually, do you plan to have another child soon and need something that will convert nicely to a double, are you planning on travelling often and need something that's easy to take on a flight?  There are many options out there.  Your budget will also play a huge role.  Good luck!

ETA:  Everyone I know that starts with the Baby Trend Expedition travel system ends up upgrading to something else, like a BOB Revolution.  The B-Agile is a great option.  I have a City Mini which is essentially the same thing and I love it for quick in and out trips.  I bought it after LO was out of the infant seat though so I don't know how it handles with a carsear attached.

Mix and match!  I'm planning on getting the Chicco KeyFit infant car seat and the Bob revolution stroller 2011 which has a Chicco infant car seat adapter.

I'd be weary of getting a travel system unless you don't mind the bulk of the stroller and plan only to use it on paved walkways.  A car seat stoller type is a nice option, however I choose to forgo this since the Bob is a bit pricey and I don't mind dealing with the weight and bulk for the first few months given the quality of the ride.

Is there a BuyBuyBaby or BRU near you? BBB especially has loads of options to test out!

I have the Britax B-Agile with a B-Safe carseat and LOVE it.  Our LO isn't here yet but the stroller is very easy to maneuver and it folds up so easily (and it's light weight too)!

We used the Chicco Travel System (Luna) for our first child

We actually just found out we're having another baby, so i'm going to be selling the travel system, along with 2 bases

 If you're intersted please let me know- system is in great condition
