As a spin off of my post below...

What kind of stroller do you have? Do you love it/hate it?

skroops · June 2011

For Zoey, we had a Graco Metrolite that fit with the Snugride infant seat. It's like a travel system, but the stroller is smaller and sold separately from the carseat. It's okay, but if I had it to do over, I would have bought the snap and go for the infant stage and then a nicer stroller for when we don't use the infant seat anymore. We also have a cheapie (like 15 bucks) umbrella stroller from bru that is pretty crappy, but for a quick trip into a store where I just want to keep her contained, it does the job.

And then like I said in my other post, we just got the City Mini double and I absolutely love it. Definitely worth the money - so much better than the Graco double we were using.

Baby Jogger City Mini and I love it! We had the car seat adaptor for when she was 3 months and younger.

I love this stroller so much I took a video of the 'quick fold technology' and put it on my blog to sing its praises.

We have the same Jeep jogging stroller I had from when Joshua was little. It doesn't have the car seat hook up, but it does lay down flat for LO to sleep. I like it just fine, but can't say too much about it because I haven't used it at all for Simon yet. So sad!!! If I could change something about it I wish the handle would flip from front to back, so you could either face baby or not while pushing. I had another stroller that did that and loved that feature.

We bought a travel system. We have the Graco Alano Travel system (in the Erin design).

I have a love/hate relationship with it. It's great for traveling when we are out for a period of time (like going to the mall or to the beach) but for a quick trip to Target or any other store, forget it. It's a PITA altogether. We were sold because it came with an extra car seat in which we gave it up to my parents and our Snugride 35 was compatible with the stroller too.

Next stroller, I'm getting an umbrella stroller or a lightweight one for the quick trips

We have the Graco Metrolite (travel system). I love it. It's way more compact than all the other Graco/Chicco strollers. I don't jog/run, so that's not really an issue for us. We do have a lot of cobblestone around here and it strolls great with a smooth ride for DD. I like that I can push it easily with one hand. When I'm shopping I carrying a basket in one hand and push the stroller with the other no problem.

My only regret is that I wish we had bought a more girly pattern. It's brown and teal with leaves and people either think she's a boy, or they ask. We tried to keep everything gender neutral for #2, but if we have a second LO, we'd need a new stroller anyways. Oh well.

We started with a graco contour tour, or somehting like that. It is very nice because the carseat clicked right into it. We are now using a Jeep joggling stroller. We will probably be using this one for a while!

We have the S1 by Safety 1st AeroLite Premier Travel System Stroller - Pegasus I love it EXCEPT the fact that DH and I are pretty tall (I'm 6'0 and DH is 6'5) and the push bar isn't adjustable so both of us have to hunker down to push it. Other than that it is light weight, easy to collapse and put away and the car seat ROCKS!

I have this one too, and i will agree, its ok. It serves its purpose. I wish I had done a little more research, and I do find it bulky. Eventually I will get something smaller for quick trips. I do love that i can snap the car seat right in. Its a stoller, nothing to rave about.

We have the Jeep Liberty stroller - we have put the car seat in it and used it but have never actually put Kain into the stroller itself. It does the job for what we use it for, can't say I love it or hate it. I am hoping to use it more now that the nice weather has finally hit NH.

We have Chicco travel system and we have a BOB double. We love Bob and chicco. Bob is a jogging one and has a car seat thing that you can ad. I highly recommend the BOB.

mick64 · June 2011

We have just been using a Baby Trend snap and go style with our graco snugride infant carrier. I like that it's compact and easy, but now that DS is getting older, I think he is ready for a regular stroller so he can sit up more and look around. I'm planning to go with a Joovy Scooter. It's a lightweight with a few more features than a regular umbrella stroller, gets good reviews, and is in the price range I'm looking for. I'd love to have the City Mini, but it's more than I want to spend. Might think about saving up for the City Mini double though when number 2 comes around!

We have the Orbit Baby travel system/ stroller. It is awesome and we love it. She used the bassinet when she was younger, along with her car seat. Now we use the stroller seat or the car seat, whatever's more convenient....although it's much easier for her to see out of the stroller seat. I absolutely love all the cool features, especially the rotation, and think the money my parents spent was well worth it!! haha We almost always get stopped and asked about the stroller when we go out, it's so weird.

freeatlast2014 · June 2011

We have the Uppa Baby Vista - I love it mostly. It came with a bassinet that we used, I bought the car seat adapter for my Chicco car seat and that was awesome, now LO is in the stroller seat (car seat is wayyy to heavy) and it's great. The only problems I have are LO gets soooo hot in it (just bought a stroller fan, but I'm guessing he'd be hot in any stroller? not sure) and it's kind of wide and a bit heavy. I knock into things when I'm shopping in the store. But the basket underneath is huge so that's a plus. Also, the cupholder falls out a lot. And it's a pain to close. But really, I truly do like it mostly. Just like Mishu - I'm glad my mom spent the $$$ for it!

mrsblueeyes · June 2011

We have a Chicco which we also used with DS. It's a work horse, and we've used it pretty much every day for the past 3 years. We also have a Maclaren lightweight umbrella stroller. We also have a Joovy caboose ultralight (like a sit-and-stand) which works great, because DS can stand or sit when he gets tired of walking.

OUBobcatFan · June 2011

We have the Chicco Keyfit 30 travel system and love it! It's been great so far, though we're pondering a stroller that we can take on some trails. The traction on the wheels is pretty shallow, so we just need some better tread.

harmony8283 · June 2011

We have the Safety 1st Aerolite Premier Travel System Pegasus. I actually love it for long outings, at the mall, at the grocery store, costco, etc. The only thing I don't love is how big it can be. We also have an umbrella stroller for when we travel, since the travel system is a PITA in the airport.

RouensDream · June 2011

We have a BOB and a Graco travel system. I like them both. I like the BOB better some times..it can go "off roading" lol.

Amazing what grandparents will do for their grandkids. I asked my parents for a new car when I got done with my doctorate, and they said no bc my car was only 4 years old. Then when we found out about DD, they volunteered to get me a new car... since I had a coupe. Oh well, more savings for me haha
