We went out stroller test driving the other day and hubby and myself go really overwhelmed of the amount to choose from. We have it narrowed down to Aprica travel system (twilite) or Quinny (a none travel system) any recommendations or advice ????
I haven't seen the Aprica one but I had a Graco travel system stroller with my first and HATED it. It handled like a shopping cart and took up the entire cargo area of my car. I sold it on Craigslist and bought an umbrella stroller instead, which I've been very happy with. This time around I'll just use the carseat and snap-n-go.

We are going with the Graco Snugfit 30 and the snap and go. Once the LO is ready for the convertible car seat, we will get a stroller. We are looking at the Baby Jogger City Mini.
We did this exact thing with DD. I saved the Graco one and we'll do the same with this one as well
I got a Graco travel system with DS1 and I really liked it. I thought it handled pretty well. There was lots of room at the bottom for storage, too. It did take up a lot of the trunk space, but I didn't really think that was a terrible thing. I used it for DS2 as well. We now have a sit n stand and will get a carseat that can snap into that.

Which Quinny are you considering? At least with the Zapp Xtra and the Buzz, those can fit a Maxi Cosi car seat with the adapter that comes with it. Other carseats fit with a different adapter. So it really is kind of like a travel system. I think I'm going with the Zapp because of style, weight / fold up ease and price. Along the same lines as Quinny, I like the Maxi Cosi Foray, but its just bigger. I just can't do one of these big, huge systems.
I just ordered the Britax B-Agile and B-Safe travel system. I didn't want something bulky and this is pretty light weight and maneuverable. I also wanted something that would work from birth to toddler- this one seems like it met all of my requirements.

I have a small car, so didn't want a huge bulky stroller that I had to lug around. I used a snap and go for about 6 months and then started using my Joovy Scooter, which I really like. We don't have the money for an expensive stroller, but the Joovy has some nice details and I am always getting compliments on the looks. I'm actually thinking of getting the Scooter X2 for a double. I'd like to get a City Mini double, but just can't spend the money right now.
we got the graco alano flip-it for #1 and liked it, but felt very silly when we realized we should have just gotten an infant seat and one of those stroller frames. it would have saved so much money and done the exact same thing. i keep looking for a sit-and-stand version of the stroller frame for this time around but having no luck.
Definitely getting a stroller that has car seat adapter capabilities...debating b/w the Bugaboo or Uppababy...both are super stylish but also very functional...just need to decide which one and a color!
Re: Strollers, travel systems ... yay or nay ???
