Travel system

We registered for the chicco travel system which I love and all my friends and family have, but I noticed there is also the key fit caddy infant car seat carrier, that just holds the carrier, while baby is small and doesn't go in the stroller yet. Should I get that until we need the stroller? It's a lot lighter and not as bulky to have the stroller and carrier when the baby is not even using the stroller part.

    The cortina is pretty huge and heavy, but I have a few friends who love it. Have you seen the liteway plus? The umbrella stroller that takes the chicco car seat? That looks pretty cool. I would probably get the caddy or liteway plus, not the heavy stroller system.

    I'd get the keyfit caddy or look at the Valco Snap. If you go directly through Valco Baby you can get a Chicco adaptor for it. It weighs only 12 lbs has a huge basket. Opens in 1 step. I have the double sized Snap and love it.

    I started with the Chicco travel system but I quickly found the Cortina to be too huge for every day use and when my DD was out of the infant seat at 6 months I got the City Mini, which I love.
    Although, I do feel from reading reviews the adapters can be a pain, so as PP mentioned I would check out the new Chicco Lite Weight. I have been looking at it every time I go to Target because it's so cool to me!

    Decided to get the chicco caddy. My friend has the light weight one. And I hate it when I watch her daughter it's hard for me to open up and close the cortina one is soooo much easier dispite the bulkiness, I don't mind that but while my little girl is an infant I think the caddy will work til I need the stroller part. Thank you ladies!

    Just wanted to say that we have the travel system and the cortina compared to alot of other brand travel systems is not that heavy at all. I can lift it in and out of any car by myself with no issues. It takes up more room than a small umbrella stroller, but I do not have any complaints about it. I also like that it reclines for DS to sit and lay down in. When he is older maybe we will get a smaller stroller, but this one works out great for now.
