I got the baby trend travel system in the grey mist. Love it so far. We recieved it in the mail last week. My cousin used it with her baby also and loved it. Good luck. There are a lot of choices out there!
I pushed almost every model around in the store and i loved this one the best. Plus the handle on the car seat made it SOOO much easier to carry around!

The Chicco Cortina Travel System. We did some research and the carseat that is part of that set is supposed to be one of the best safety rated out there. Only downfall is that both the carseat and stroller are a bit heavy, and will obviously be even heavier with a child in it. However, the stroller was much better quality than the Graco ones we looked at and it was very easy to manuever.
We went with the Chicco Cortina Travel system in the Luna print. We liked how it folded up and the material seems easy to wipe down. We also based this choice on its Consumer Reports rating which was very good.

We got the chicco cortina travel system and we still love it. I love the keyfit seat and think it feels more sturdy and is more comfy than most other seats (it's on the top of the safety ratings list).
What I love about the stroller is that it folds UP and not down to the ground so you're not always bending over to pick it up, the handle bar is adjustable to my tall DH and I aren't hunched over while pushing it, the car seat clicks in SO easily, the seat fully reclines. I don't have any complaints about it (keeping in mind that it IS a full size stroller).
We bought the Chicco Cortina. Like pp said, it's ranked towards the top for safety (in our budget range) and it is a tad on the heavy side, but I like the way the stroller handles.
I got a Graco Stylus system. I like it because it really light, opens and closes with one hand, and has a good size basket. The fact that the pattern I liked was on clearance for $100 at Target helped too.
Bar tab = $156,000, Bus to Foxwoods = $0, Puking in the Stanley Cup = Priceless
I'm getting these two seperates to make a travel system, it's compatible already so there is no need to buy anything extra, and the Keyfit30 is one of the safest seats on the market, and an added bonus is that it goes to the child weighs 30 lbs for rear facing, instead of the regular 22 lbs that average seats go to.
I dont NEED a carrier when my kid is heavy, clearly I'm not going to be lugging it around, but I can leave the seat in the car and take the baby out when that time comes and avoid a convertible seat all togheter (hopefully). The carrier is on the heavier side, but it's also slightly lighter than the Graco snugride 32 (which is the one I wanted origionally). It's going to be heavier if you get a seat that goes to a higher weight limit. It only makes sense, right?
What sold me on the keyfit 30: its 24 inches long in comparison to Graco Snugride 32's 30.7 inches long, so it's much more likely to fit in my car comfortably for both the people in the front seat.

This exactly. I see a lot of people out there with Chicco when i'm at the stores. Plus, my BFF used it for her LO over the last year and absolutely loved it.
Chicco Cortina! It was rated highest (or one of the highest) in Consumer Reports and when we went to BRU, it seemed really easy to maneuver, fold up, etc.
Can't wait to get it

Chicco Cortina. Very easy to maneuver and fold up when we tested it in the store, and while it's a little heavy, I didn't think it was bad at all. My good friend has the same one and loves it. The seat and base also got top safety ratings. We just got it today at BRU and got 25% off because we traded in a used stroller we found at a thrift store for $12...ended up saving us about $60.
I pushed almost every model around in the store and i loved this one the best. Plus the handle on the car seat made it SOOO much easier to carry around!
Basically this one just in a different pattern, it's not sold as a set but it's the same thing (for the record I love the one you have but my DH has a thing against polka dots. ugh ) :

This but in a different pattern. DH wanted the Cadillac of strollers and this is what he chose. We registered for it so we don't have it quite yet.
