If you are already thinking about strollers, what kind???

I do not want to have a jogging stroller and regular stroller- just one that will allow me to take long walks in my neighborhood and occassional outings. Easy to get in and out of car is bonus, and I like the idea of clipping car seat in when needed. What kinds are you thinking of looking at?

Re: If you are already thinking about strollers, what kind???
My brother talked my mom into buying him the Bugaboo (they live in NYC though) - but, when I looked at getting a jogging, a regular and an umbrella I saw I'd be spending the same amount...so, I'm not sure...
Have heard great things about the Orbit, too...but, also $$$$$$$

This. The quinny zipp so light and compact. We do a lot of traveling and going places. I don't want anything bulky. I also really like the idea of the car seat that ?snaps in and out.?
Get the BoB Revolution stroller with the attachment for the infant seat. I love my BoB and wish I had done this from the beginning instead of buying a snap n go. People stop me on the street to talk about how much they love their BoBs when they see me with it.
Definitely NOT going with a travel system. They are too darn bulky for my taste.
We're going with a Snap n Go stroller for the car seat, and a Maclaren Techno XLR - which can be used from birth up to 65lbs.
I highly recommend the Baby Jogger City Mini with the car seat adaptor bar. You can fold it with one hand while holding a baby or car seat in your other hand. It folds flat and stands behind the driver's seat of my car, so I don't have to open the trunk each time I run an errand. You can use it from birth to 50 lbs, and the car seat adaptor bar is up high so the baby is easy to reach (up higher than with most travel systems). It is easier to steer than any stroller I've used.
As a former nanny, I've had a lot of experience using the Graco and Chicco travel systems, and to me they are just too heavy and bulky to use often. Most people quit using them and opt for a cheap umbrella stroller after their child outgrows the infant seat. To me, they are a pain to have to get in and out of the trunk every time you go into a store, especially if it is raining!
Not sure if you are ready to buy it, but I saw the Quinny Zapp on babyuniverse.com's outlet for $159 today. I think they have it in lime green and capri blue. Here's a link!
