What travel system did you put on your registries? I had the Chicco Cortina, but didn't like the reviews about it being heavy, not clicking into shopping carts, and not having access to the diaper bag. Just wondering if anyone had one that they love. Thanks and Happy Halloween!

Re: Travel Systems
We're not registering for a travel system because they just won't give us the features that we need, and I want to avoid the multiple stroller trap.

This might sound strange, but...What is the "multiple stroller trap"?

This!!! I have always thought that the travel system are to bulky. I regestired for the snap and go by jeep. It says it fits any infant car seat. Once baby starts outgrowing the car seat well buy a stroller.
We registered for Chicco (Discovery I think~ sorry I'm at work so I don't have it handy!) as we will need 2 or more strollers regardless. I like the idea of having one in each car so we don't forget to switch it if needed and my parents want one for when they babysit. Anyways, if the travel system ends up being too big of a stroller, then that one will end up as the "extra" one for us. I guess it depends on what you will need personally. I didn't want the snap and go because I wanted the option of reclining the seat and not using the car seat even with an infant. My DS didn't like his seat and we used the stroller on its own more often than not...
Agree with PPs that the infant seat shouldn't sit in the shopping cart anyways, so I wouldn't use that as criteria for choosing. And the baskets all seem to be difficult to get into when the seat is reclined or a seat is on top.
There are SO many options out there~ they will all do the job
We never used out travel system! A friend lent us the Graco snugrider frame (or the Snap and Go, I don't remember the brand!) That is all I needed. It was fantastic.
When the baby grew out of the infant seat, we got a light umbrella stroller and have been loving it since. I am so glad we didn't get a bulky travel system stroller. I see the moms in the malls with them and they always look like they are struggling.
I fell into the stroller trap. Got the big Graco travel system. Was too huge to practically use (took up half of the back of my outback.) Got a Maclaren Triumph that I LOVE and haven't used the travel system since. It folds up tiny.
This time I got a double snap and go on clearance at Target (if it hadn't been so cheap, I would have just found one on craigslist. The doubles are a little hard to find, but not the singles.)
When I figure out how much I'm able to walk with 3 kids, I'll figure out if I want a double Maclaren (my guess) or some sort of jogger type stroller.
