Does anyone have thoughts or opinions on either one of these?

Thank you!

we were going to get a Graco, but the carseat just seemed flimsy when snapped into the stroller. So we went with the Chicco...so far I love it

I have the Chicco Cortina. I love it. The only negative is that it barely fits in our trunk. We have a Saab. We are buying an SUV to accomodate all of DS's stuff. It is a great stroller and very easy to use.

We have the Cortina and love it. It is very easy to maneuver.

We have the Graco Quattro system in Deco and LOVE it! I liked the fact that the infant seat went up to 30 lbs. The stroller is big and I know some people don't like this system for that fact. It doesn't fit into DH's trunk (chevy malibu) but fits fine in mine (chevy impala). I think both the stroller and carseat are constructed well! The stroller also has an extended pounds value and can hold up to 50 lbs. I'd recommend it.

IMO you don't want a travel system. Trust me- the lighter, the better. Carrier w/ snap and go...later get a Maclaren for$150. Trust me.

My SIL has the chicco, she gave it to my mom to keep at her house and got a snap in go. The car seat is nice though. I would go with the snap n go and a stroller that suits your lifestyle.

I have the same exact one and I love it but I have an SUV and do not mind the size I love having plenty of room while shopping to stash stuff.

We have the Chicco, and I love it. However, if I were doing it all over again. I wouldn't have bought the "system". I have a snap-n-go that I LOVE! I love the Chicco stroller so I would definitely do that again. The carseat is fine, but I don't think it was necessary to spend that kind of money. Graco and others would have been just fine. Hindsight is always 20/20! LOL

we were using a graco carsseat and snap in stroller the first few weeks. the carseat was bulky and hard to get in the base. we went with the chicco. its smaller, easier to install the carseat and dh loves the mobility and adj. handle on the stroller as he is quite taller than me. worth ever penny.

We have the Chicco and like pp, I would have gotten a smaller/lighter carseat with a snap n go, but I love the stroller. Love it!

LOVE our Chicco system. It's really easy to turn. I'm 6'1" and DH is 6'6". We looked at the Snap-n-Go but the handle was way to low and not adjustable. DD does great in the carseat too. Seems that all my friends with the Chicco, the babies love the carseat and those with Graco fight it...weird.

We passed on the Chicco car seat because it was too heavy. We have the Chicco Cortina stroller, a Snap n' Go, and a Graco Snugride carseat. This is a great arrangement for us so that we don't have to lug the stroller around before we have to. And the Cortina fits in the trunk of my Civic just fine, so I don't think size is a concern.

We have the Chicco Cortina & I love it. It's the easiest car set & stroller that I found. I agree with the PP about the size of the stroller. I drive a Nissan Altima and it takes us half of my trunk.
