Show me your...

stroller!

Which one do you really like?  Why do you like it?  So far, I really like the Chicco key fit carseat and travel system.  It comes in a lot of colors, but I think this one is very cute if we are having a little girl.

 Anyone have opinions on travel systems?  I've heard some mixed opinions.

Re: Show me your...

  • We bought the Chicco Keyfit but with the Trevi stroller instead of the Cortina - smaller and less bulky, but still fits the carseat.  We bought it in the red/grey/taupe combo.  Love it!

  • We went and "test drove" some at Babies R Us and we are going with a Chicco Cortina Travel System as well. They just seemed easier to handle than the Graco. I am considering this one

  • Baby Jogger City Mini, but we will have to get the adapter for our carseat. Our friend has this one and absolutely loves it. My husband saw it  this weekend and decided he wanted it.

  • I am considering the Baby Trend Expedition travel system.  I really like the handle on the carseat and the fact that it's a "jogging stroller" with air-filled tires.

     I've been doing a lot of reading though, some on the Nurseries and Baby Gear board, and a lot of people just recommend getting a Snap n go stroller for the car seat and something else separate from a travel system.  So many decisions.  I find it all to be overwhelming and this is really the only thing we have looked at so far.

  • We were planning on just getting a snap n' go stroller frame for use with an infant car seat.  We like Maclaren Easy Traveler the best because it moves smoothly and folds into a very small umbrella shape.

    We're still planning on getting the stroller frame, but once we saw the carseat adapter for the City Mini in action, we decided we want the stroller frame and the City Mini.  The "quick fold" process is unbelievably easy.

    This is the one we've been looking at.  DH really likes the fact that it has 'real' inflatable tires.  Seems to be his main requirement. Lol

    We have the one and we love it! I dread the day I need to get a double stroller. My DD is almost 9 months old and we have used the stroller almost everyday. She is just now transitioning to a convertible car seat, but only because she wants to see out the window. She still fits the infant car seat great! Seriously one of the best buys ever and I highly recommend it! I may keep using this stroller for DD and put LO#2 in the Bjorn for a little while because I find a double that comes close to this stroller...

  • We have 2.  The BOB was given to us by a neighbor (with infant car seat adapter) and the Maclaren Quest from my sister.  The Maclaren will only be used for travel, since we very frequently travel by plane and can't imagine lugging a BOB around the world!  Not to mention, it would never fit into a European car rental trunk!

  • N/A so far. I'm looking at the Sit N Stand. :) We like to go on long walks and if DD wants to take a break, she can.

     I think this is a really good idea!  That is the only thing I am concerned about with the travel system, that it will be too bulky.  This could be the perfect solution!  Now I need to go test drive..ha! :)

    I have a Baby Trend very similar to this and I absolutely love it. I'm so irritated about having to start over in double stroller land.

    We haven't bought it yet, but I am fairly set on this one. Probably in the red.

  • We are definitely getting the keyfit, but I think we are going to get a snap-'n-go-like stroller for the car. For crusing around the city, since I think the snap-n-gos look to flimsy, I'm not sure. There's a Bugaboo Frog on sale for $250 and includes a bassinet. Is that a good deal? I think we'd only use it from home, so we don't necessarily need one that's car seat compatible.

  • I was going to go with a keyfit travel system until I realized 1/2 of the people who get them end up never using the stroller and just going out and buying a lightweight one.. so I will get the wonderful baby trend snap n go and the baby trend provence car seat.. Then something light, but still cozy looking, like the dream on me stroller :)

    I really like the Safety 1st AeroLite travel system. I'm somewhat new at this, and my mom has reccomended Gracco... Are any of yall educated on strollers? lol! Is this a good/safe brand? I looked at reviews, and it seems nice... But any advice would help!!

    Baby Trend Expedition Travel System is the one I have been eyeing.  My only concern is that the stroller will be too heavy to get in and out of the car.  But I love that it's a travel system with a jogger.

    Okay I don't know if this picture worked since all I can see is a red x. Here is the link to the picture if it doesn't https://www.babyearth.com/view.php?img=images/10-8722-01e.jpg

    UPPAbaby Vista Stroller. I love it becuase the baby faces me and it has a bassinet insert. You can also added a 2nd seat later (and it comes with a ton of accessories for weather). I love it.

    We aren't doing an infant car seat (just a convertible one), but the UPPAbaby has a car seat attachment as well.

    ETA: I dont' like travel systems becuase they are big and heavy. Also there are some studies out there that say not to keep your baby in the car seat out of the car becuase it reduces there oxygen flow. https://children.webmd.com/news/20090824/infant-car-seats-may-lower-oxygen-levels

    We got the Uppababy Vista as well and love it! We got a Peg Pereggo infant seat and adapter to go with it. We were in BuyBuyBaby "test driving" for almost 3 hours and kept coming back to this one so we got it.

  • I have that same one in a different color. I liked the car seat a lot. i think the TS stroller was a waste of money though. I should have just got a snap and go.

    This is what I purchased today on amazon for a very good price.  However I didn't get the cowmooflage, I picked the silver/black carrier.

    That's what we have. We have that same car seat, but we'll be exchanging it. They didn't have any other colors in stock at the time.

     We bought the Bumbleride Indie in Seagrass, too! It took almost 2 hours to narrow it down to this one, and I can't wait to get a baby in it and take it out on the trails/road. We bought the Chicco Keyfit 30 infant carseat.
