Which one are you getting? and why ?

MidwestTexan · February 2009

Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe Travel System - the stroller holds up to a 50 lb child instead of the standard 40 lb limit that most strollers have.

I got an Evenflo something or other travel system.?

?

It was on sale, the print is neutral, it has a big basket underneath for storage, cupholders for whoever is pushing have rubber grips, aaaaaand it had a one hand collapse for folding it up. It's easy to maneuver as well and not too heavy.?

Graco Metrolite- it has all the cool things that the really big ones have without all the bulk. I asked my sister about it and she said the huge ones were unnecessarily big. Plus it fits my carrier I'm also getting the maclaren volo as my umbrella stroller...good ratings

We are planning on getting the Chicco Cortina Travel System. I read a bunch of reviews online of both travel systems and car seats and strollers separately and this one stood out the most and seemed like the best fit for us.

we have the easy walker sky jogging stroller. ?it has an attachment so that we can connect our maxi cosi mico infant car seat to it. ?it's very well made, light, and easy to fold up and put away. ?it also has great storage space. ?i wasn't into the travel systems and wanted something i could use every day and use to work out with so this was the best option for us.

I think we will get a BOB stroller with the infant seat attachment.

I didn't want a travel system stroller that was bulky and didn't work well, the BOB handles with one hand and can go "off-road" and while you don't think you will ever need that, just pushing a regular travel system stroller in grass is tough! Forget about wood chips or sand at the playground.

We are getting the Uppababy. The wheels never go flat. You can add a second seat to make it a double stroller. It Has a bassinet, Toddler seat and an attachment to add a Graco, Chico or Peg Perego Car seat.?

?Over all it is a great stroller. I am absolutely in love with it!?

I have the Safety 1st Sojourn travel system (stroller, car seat, & base). I honestly bought it because our local Kmart was going out of business and had them for 40% off. It ended up being super nice though.

I have a snap and go for when the baby's little and still in the infant seat (which we haven't decided on yet). I'm planning to get a more rugged one (probably a jogger) for when the baby is older, and maybe also a cheapie umbrella stroller to use if the jogging stroller is too bulky to use every day.

For what it's worth... I bought a graco metrolite travel system for my DS when he was born almost 4 years ago and it is still great. It is lightweight and fully functional for all uses that we have needed. The Quattro Tour is huge and heavy, so takes up a lot of trunk space whereas this one didn't.

Something to consider, once out of the infant carrier, you need to make sure you have a stroller that has a basket underneath, have LOVED having cupholders and a MUST for me has always been the snack tray in front. I have a jogger that my father bought and a Jeep umbrella one that I needed once in a pinch, but honestly the most versatile one has been my Metrolite. It was always easier to go anywhere with DS while he sat and ate or played with something on the snack tray... it got me through many dressing rooms of clothes amongst other things.

Truthfully, go to a store that has the one you like. Try it out. See if it is easy to push, fold, lift, put an infant seat on, etc. That is what made our decision what it was. But, whatever you decide is easiest, go for.

Our Chicco Cortina Keyfit is on it's way! I can't wait to get it.

We tried out all the travel systems in BRU and the Chicco was the lightest and easiest for us to use. Also, it came VERY highly rated on Consumer Reports. Like someone else said, it also holds the baby til 30 lbs, which to me is worth the extra $$.

We have a Bumbleride Indie that we got 18 months ago for DD and we love it! I bought and returned 4 strollers before I finally committed to this one. It maneuvers great, works on all terrains, has a large basket that can carry tons of stuff and DH loves that the handle bar is adjustable as he's tall and I'm short.

TimsMayBride · February 2009

I'm still undecided. I really liked the idea of an "urban jogger" so we could use one stroller for all purposes - everyday from infant on, and as a jogger. After looking at several (Bumbleride Indie, Baby Jogger City, BOB Revolution...), I've realized this just isn't possible. None of these are made for jogging, which the manufacturers admit. The true jogging strollers are too awkward to use everyday. I hate the travel systems. Right now I'm leaning towards the Baby Jogger City Classic because of its awesome fold mechanism, but will probably get a Snap N Go to use with the the infant seat for the first six months or so. Then when he's closer to a year we'll look at a true jogger like the BOB Iron Man or Baby Jogger Performance to use for jogging.

CubsGirlNYC · February 2009

We're either getting the Uppababy vista or the peg perego switch. Both have pros and cons and use the same car seat. I love the uppababy but it is on the pricey side and a little bit big, the switch is cheaper and a little more compact. The uppababy extends taller and has on handle vs 2, both DH and I arel tall. We're trying to decide soon, we went and looked at both today.

I just bought the Bugaboo cameleon today.

I walk to work an plan on walking the baby home from daycare too. We like the bassinet feature and the extender handlebar because Dh and I are both tall.

same here - the keyfit sit was rated as easiest to install in your car correctly by Consumer Reports so I think with some of the rocket scientists I am related to it's best to go with one that is EASY.?

I also registered for a Macalaren Volo as my lightweight stroller. It's less than 9 pounds!?

The stroller thing that attaches to the Graco Snugride. We figure we have no idea how much we're actually going to use a stroller, or in what capacity, so it's better to spend (or have someone else spend) $80 or so on that and it will give us a decent chunk of time to establish our stroller needs before buying something else for the long term.?

Bugaboo Bee... it was light, compact, easy to maneuver...

plus my mom bought it for us.

BlairWaldorf · February 2009

Bumbleride Indie -- it's all-terrain, maneuvers well, & can be used lightly as a jogger. We're very tell, so having the adjustable handlebar is awesome (a lot of handlebars simply aren't high enough). I love that it goes from infant up to about 50 lbs or so. & it folds & unfolds quickly & is pretty light -- roughly 18 lbs, I think? ?Oh, and it has cupholders & a large basket

Chrisy-Wyobride · February 2009

Snap N Go when the baby is less than 6mo, after that Maclaren Triumph. I also have a Joovy Caboose because I have a 2yr old who wants to ride on occassion. I already have them from #2. I had a travel system from #1 but didn't keep it after her. I am thinking of buying a used double BOB or something similar if I decide to start walking my DD to school (she'd ride her bike or scooter) because I live in the city & have bumpy sidewalks & it's about 1.5miles away.

Phil and Ted's Sport Buggy for us!

It lays flat for new borns, has a light weight (only 3 lb) baby carrier that you can get to fit into it. You can purchse a kit to make it a double instead of having to buy a double wide stroller later on. It's great for jogging, but you can unlock the front wheel so you can still run errands with it.
