carseat/ stroller options
What do you ladies use? Love it? Hate it?
Just trying to get as many opinions as possible. I'm thinking I'm going to get a Keyfit 30. And I know that I dont want to get the travel system. So just looking to see what you ladies use and love.

we also have the keyfit 30 and we decided on the babyjogger city mini. it's been fabulous so far. we had to get the infant seat adapter, but it's super easy to attach. we like how the infant seat sits high up and faces us, so it's easy to keep an eye on her. it is really easy to steer with one hand, lightweight and easy to fold up. watch the video on their website: https://babyjogger.com/demo_videos.aspx love it!
We had the Keyfit 30. DS outgrew the height before the weight on it, so in the end we could have gotten the smaller one (22 maybe?).
For stroller, we got a Snap N Go to use in the beginning and then the Baby Jogger City Mini. When we bought it all, the City Mini carseat adaptor didn't work with the Chicco carseats, however now they have one that will. I for the same price (about $60) I still would have gone with the SNG since it is super lightweight and easy to use.
We are still using the Chicco Keyfit and we didn't even get the Keyfit 30 but DD is just under 20 lbs and still has another inch before she grows out of it. Love the Keyfit though.
We got the travel system and though many complain about it's size, I don't mind it. We borrowed a SNG when she was a few months old and it is much easier to use but I don't regret having the big stroller. We use it on walks and at the zoo since it is roomy and has a much bigger basket than our umbrella stroller.
I don't jog with baby so I didn't ever consider a jogger and they all looked just as bulky to me as the travel system stroller so we went that route.
I loooove my UppaBaby Vista, although I haven't pushed an actual baby around in it yet. You have to buy an attachment that will allow you to attach the Keyfit to it, if you want to go that route. I definitely did not want a traditional travel system.
I didn't like the Baby Jogger (although it's really popular) because their adaptor didn't have a locking mechanism for my carseat. The strap just seemed really unstable to me and DH shot it down immediately.
Also FYI, the Baby Jogger City Mini is not a jogging stroller. Baby Jogger is just the name of the brand. You can't jog/run with the City Mini. It's actually pretty compact.
