can't decide...stroller related!

I've read so many posts about strollers, and I changed my mind from getting a travel system. I had a jeep stroller for ds, and it was solo bulky that I could not stand it.So, I ended up with a Britax Blink which I love bc it is really easy to use on the go (theme parks,travelling etc). I plan to use it again once dd is big enough (6 mo or so). Anyways, due to bulkiness and the factThat I have a small car (Corolla), I want a stroller that isn't big for when dd is little. I registered for a Snugride 30, and the stroller base as a good comprise. Then of course I go on Albee Baby and see a Graco Alanson Greer travel system for 149$ (cheaper with coupon, so ill prob save like 50$), and a Britax Chaperone travel system for 149$, which is like 63% off. I'm not crazy about the print (Moonstone), but the price isgood.Am I crazy to consider them with my whole bulkiness beef and just stick with my plan? Or would u change your mind?

    We have a Baby Jogger City Mini and LOVE it!  It's the only stroller we've ever had.  The back folds down flat so we were putting DD in it from the beginning without her carseat.  It's super light, and you can fold it up and throw it in the car with one hand!  The basket under the seat is small (I could barely fit my diaper bag in there), and if you want a cup holder or place to put your keys, or a try for LO you have to buy them separately.  I still love it though!  Also, someone posted on here yesterday I think that there are a few colors on sale on Amazon for $149!  Which is awesome because they're normally $229, and rarely go on sale.

    We have a Graco Snap and Go stroller (we also have a Snugride 30) and a City Mini for when she gets a little bigger. I love the Snap and Go. Works perfectly with the car seat, is inexpensive, and small/easy to fold. I wouldn't go with anything bulkier if you are trying to avoid bulky.

    We have this EXACT same setup.  Down to the Snugride 30!  I love how easy the Snap and Go is to fold up and toss in the car, much easier than one of the travel system strollers.  And you can't beat the City Mini.. I'm so excited to use that!

    We did this with dd and was so happy! The Sungride is awesome and we go the one with the lightest weight requirements. I wasn't supper happy lugging that thing around and put her in a normal car seat at t6 months (but that's another post:)). Also have the snap & go and it's awesome because it's so light and easy to carry around. Then used an umbrella stroller, don't remember the brand. My #1 favorite stroller that we splurged on though was our Bob Revolution because we're runners. It's pretty much the bomb:)
