Hello! This is my first time on this board and I'm hoping that you wouldn't mind sharing your favorite stroller or travel system? I'm trying to start registering and I'm not sure what to go with! Thanks!

Re: Favorite Strollers or Travel Systems
There are lots I like, but I have a Quinny Zapp, a Phil & Ted's Sport, and a Chariot Carrier. I also like the BJ City Select, Britax B-Ready, Stoke X-plory, any Bugaboo, and a few others that escape me for the moment. I am not at all a fan of the Graco or Evenflo strollers that come as part of a travel system, most especially the Graco Metro Lite. It has way too many cheap, breakable, plastic parts and doesn't wear well (can you tell I hated having one, worst purchase ever!).
Oh, and after having to struggle with the Graco Duoglider double stroller, I'd never pay money to own one. They are beastly to push, don't fold small and are horrible to push unless you have very little weight in them. They corner like a barge.
I love my BOB. Don't like the Chicco travel system and we have the BJ City Select for our tandem double stroller. I like the way it works with one seat. We'll just have to wait until LO#2 is here to see how I like the double feature. Eventually, I hope to get a double BOB for exercising.
Skip the travel system. Trust me. The strollers are big bulky and cheap.
Go with a snap-n-go and infant seat to start and buy a better stroller later.

We have the BJ Elite with car seat adapter.
We also have a Snap n Go
I do like our Chicco Cortina stroller, but I agree with pp. If I had to do it over, I'd skip it. We purchased a Snap n Go used, and DS went in that most of the time. The Chicco stroller was nice when I was on buppier surfaces and I wanted him snapped in and secure (the Chicco carseat sort of just rested on the Snap n Go). I think if I had to do it over, though, I'd skip the travel system. Just too big and heavy.
We have the Chicco Cortina and I really love it. The infant seat/carrier is very well made compared to the others we looked at. Like the other ladies though, I mainly use our snap in go right now for the carrier rather than the Chicco stroller. Not that we don't like the chicco, the snap n go is just way more convenient for errands and pulling in and out of the car. The chicco stroller is also bulky. I have an suv but I can't imagine how someone with a smaller car/trunk would be able to fit anything else in with the stroller.
Chicco car seat, bob stroller and chicco adapter! LOVE it!
