Stroller registry Help!!!!

I live in the Lakeview area and do a lot of walking. I'm just starting my registry and finding it very difficult on which stroller to get. I was very interested in the Britax B-agile, which has the infant seat that snaps into it. And also can fold with one hand. Simple simple simple. But it doesn't have the option to lay back if the baby wanted to take a nap. I prefer a light weight stroller, and do not like a jogging stroller. I am pretty sure I like the idea of having an infant seat that clicks in, or should I not???? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. First time mom, so any advice helps. Thank youuuuu

    I wanted the full recline as well and ended up with the peg perego book plus. The seat fully reclines and is removable. When removed you can attach the car seat (peg perego viaggio). I love it! It's light weight and folds fairly easily.

    The strollers I really considered were the Britax B Agile, City Mini (which I liked better than the B Agile... you can find lots of comparisons on line to see which one would work better for you, but those two are very similar), City Versa, and Stokke Scoot.

    I looked into the Uppababy Cruz, but honestly, considering the amount of transit I take, an easy one-handed fold was extremely important to me. I also did not like that the seat had to face forward to fold, which is problematic if you're juggling things. The Uppababy Vista has a slightly easier fold than the Cruz, but was just not the stroller for us.

    I was not at all impressed with the Stokke Scoot. It was my least favorite and I wouldn't recommend it.

    It ended up coming down to the City Mini or City Versa for us. We ended up picking the Versa. It's heavier than the Mini and has one additional step to fold (still one handed though). However, what I really like about it is the seat can face you or face out, which was a feature I wanted if I could have. Unlike the Cruz, you can fold it with the seat facing either way. 

    We're due in December, so we haven't actually used it yet, but tested it out thoroughly at the store.

    Galt Baby is great for taking strollers for a test drive--they even have weighted baby dolls which helped me (more so in the car seat department) and my husband figure out what stroller was going to work for us.  What we thought was going to be our first choice ended up being terrible (for us) in person.

    Also, if you haven't seen the site www.weespring.com/chicago, you should check it out--awesome baby product recommendations from your friends :)
