We played with all the travel systems in BRU. This one we loved the best. It was lightweight, yet sturdy. Easy to figure out, like how to fold up and latch carseat in. Plus we liked the pattern and colors and the material isn't cloth, it's like a really soft vinyl, so it will be super easy to clean!
I liked that this set was gender neutral in design. I can use it for my baby girl now and also for a baby boy (if I have one in the future). Graco is a pretty good brand and they are known for their safety; that was important to me.
I also bought a Graco Pack n' Play in the same matching design.
We are getting the Graco Snugride and the Graco Metrolite in Laguna Bay. They don't come together as a travel system. The Metrolite is super easy to fold and it folds nice and small. It is also light enough for me to do all by myself

We bought the Graco Snugride 35 and the City Mini stroller. I LOVE the City Mini stroller...sooooo easy to fold up and lightweight. I went back and forth between the Snugride 35 and the Chicco Keyfit 30. The reviews/boards were pretty close to identical for the 2 carseats. From my in-store experience, the Keyfit was slightly longer front to back than the Snugride. Since we have 2 cars, this became my tie-breaker.
We're getting the Chicco keyfit. I liked the stroller and the car seat seemed really good. I read somewhere it was #2 highest safety rating for infants, so I was happy.

My friend just had a baby this year, a big baby, and only used her infant seat for 4 months before switching to a convertible. (He was just too big to carry around in it.) It's a Chicco Keyfit, and it snaps into my Bumbleride Indie:
Here is a video review about the Bumbleride Indie if you're interested. It takes a lot of different car seats, comes in great colors, folds down, and only weighs 20lbs.
We got the Britax B-Ready in black, with the black/gray Britax Chaperone infant seat.
We were originally going to get a Chicco Keyfit 30 + Snap N Go, and a City Mini for later on. However, DH didn't like how low the carseat sat in the SNG, and he didn't like how it sat on the City Mini with the bar.
I really loved the Keyfit and City Mini, each individually, but in the end these are the reasons why we chose the Britax B-Ready over the City Mini:
- Adjustable handlebar (I'm only 4'10" and the City Mini handlebar was too tall for my comfort, the Britax has multiple heights)
-Basket (I had a hard time even putting my purse in the basket of the CM. The Britax has a huge basket)
-Rear facing seat (I really wanted this and the CM did not offer it)
-Double stroller (this wasn't a necessity, but it's a nice perk)
-Infant car seat (I would have preferred the Chicco Keyfit over the Britax Chaperone, but they both have great safety ratings)
-Price (I got a great deal on the Britax combo: $400 for both the stroller and the carseat on Amazon. Regular price would have been around $700 for both.)
We got the BabyTrend Expidition series in green and gray. We wanted a good stroller for going on hikes and walks. We actually saw some people using this stroller and asked them how they liked it and they loved it. they said the wheel is a little unstable when jogging (we aren't joggers anyway) but that it was great otherwise.
