I thought I had everything picked out (at least in my head) but am not second guessing my original plan...... so if you don't mind sharing, what stroller(s) are you registering for??
not registered yet, but going to go for the Chicco Cortina Travel System. Tested it out and loved it. Friends rave about it. It has great reviews on Babies r Us. What were you considering?
We have the Chicco Cortina and love it. We also have a snap and go for the other car. That is great and lightweight!

i have a snap and go and a graco stroller i wish i didnt get the graco stroller its really heavy! im going to get a bumble ride flyer because the handle moves so you can face the baby or no. its also really really lite!
I'm not registered yet, but have been doing some research on strollers. I actually purchased the Quinny Buzz 4 online, but after testing it at the store, we didn't like it and decided to return it. It just felt very shaky and not too stable.
We also checked out the UppaBaby Vista '09 and the Baby Jogger City Select. I liked the Vista EXCEPT for the fact that if down the line we have another child, the toddler seat is not able to sit facing out/forward in any combination (with a car seat, bassinet, or another toddler seat). I don't know, it just bothers me that the toddler always has to look at the back of another seat or be face to face with his/her sibling all the time.
We really like the Baby Jogger City Select so far. It allow you to configure the seating in 16 different ways, with one child or two children, so it can last us a long time. The only downside is that it's a bit heavy, but the fold up is very simple and compact.
One other stroller that looks interesting (and we've only seen it online b/c it's not out yet) is the Phil & Teds Smart stroller. It's super light and easy to fold, but I'm not sure I like that the toddler seat can't recline all the way back. And the biggest draw back is that I don't think you can add a second seat if you have a second child.
We are going to look at the UppaBaby Vista and the City Select as well. Like Brenda, I like that you can add a second seat to the City Select when you have another child.
There is a stroller store in Hoboken that carries all of them, so hopefully once we are out of our first trimester we can go test drive a few of them.
We actually bought a Bugaboo. We got in on sale for an amazing price that we couldn't pass it up. What I like about it is that it goes up to 40 lbs, so we will get a lot of use out of it. Then we can use the base for the Graco car seat sort of like a snap and go. I also like the City-Mini since it's light and easy to close with one hand....I may register for that one.

I have a Chicco Cortina (got the travel system). It works well, is easy to fold, pretty light and holds a max. weight limit of 50 lb.
I also got a lightweight Kolcraft stroller as a gift (my aunt won it in a tricky tray auction).
