Was torn between the uppababy vista and the bugaboo cameleon. Went with uppababy. I like how easy it is to convert to a double down the road. Plus it was a little less expensive.
We got this one. Graco® FastAction™ Fold Jogger Click Connect™ Travel System in Piazza™ We got it because the handle adjusts for height... Realized it was important after pushing the stupid umbrella stroller and our backs started killing us. My parents are tall and I know they'll be pushing it as well. It's nice. Also it folds up really quick which is nice.
I was checking out the Stroller with the 3 wheels.A bit more expensive and looks more new age. I think you can jog along with it Although I'm not sure if I will be jogging along haha
We have a Phil & Teds Dot. Love that the second seat is removable, its inline, and compact. Its lighter than my Graco Travel system was. If you are planning on having more than 1 kid, I highly recommend it.
I've heard good things about both products and didn't want to mess with an adaptor. I also like that there's both an adult cup holder and a baby tray/cup holder. We test drove it around BRU and we liked the handling.

We're getting this exact set up. I wanted just the Chicco Cortina Travel System, but when we went to BRU - DH liked this set up better, as well as the pattern.
We got a Graco Snugride 35 LX and a Snap N Go and I got an amazing deal on a City Mini Versa yesterday for $80 so I bought that. I will also get a car seat attachment for that.

City select with second seat. Graco Click Connect 40 car seat. MDS hated his Chicco car seat. Also City Mini double. And I have lots of single strollers.. City Mini, Mini GT, Chicco Liteway, joovy Ultralight and Bob Revolution. Have a Cortina that has never been used. ETA: Snap and Go stroller. Love that thing!
a used stroller is the way to go! Honestly. As a city dweller we use our stroller A LOT, and you needs will change as the baby grows. Its nice to not pay full price all the time. Strollers are expensive!
I got the city mini for main use to keep in the car. I found a good price, $169, on previous year through Albee site. I'm going to get Bob revolution for jogger. I have a baby trend jogger from my second child but have really run it into the ground.
I know OP has already decided on her stroller, but I love posts like these so lovetitted everyone's response. As for me, we picked up a gently used 2013 Uppababy Vista in Lindsey.
Also came with brand new (in box with Buybuy baby price tag still on it) snack tray, cup holder, and a Chicco car seat adapter. Score!
We got a Graco jogger and travel system. It's a little bulky, but we are very outdoorsy and wanted something for our active lifestyle. For short, indoor runs (i.e. Grocery, errands, etc.) we plan to just use a baby carrier.
This is the same one we've picked out. Hoping it'll go on sale before we actually buy in the next month or so. Target had the best deal on it that I've seen so far.
We live in Oslo, Norway which just so happens to be the place in the world with the fanciest strollers so I am Insisting on joining the bandwagon (against DH feelings) and we are getting the bugaboo buffalo. It's gorgeous, gets the best reviews and is the newest on the market. It also has a car seat adapter which makes life a bit easier.
We ordered a Mountain Buggy mini stroller in chili. Just received the email that it shipped yesterday, can't wait for it to arrive! Also bought the Maxi Cosi Mico AP car seat in black, just need to order the adapter now.
We still need to 'test drive' some models, but it was between the Bugaboo Cameleon and the Uppababy Vista. After reading this though, the Stokke Trailz and the Bugaboo Buffalo are definitely appealing as I walk a lot in woods.
Thinking about the Cybex Aton Q for the carseat.
Does everyone already have theirs? Am I way behind?
I decided on the Chicco key fit 30 and bravo stroller in pulse (red). Seemed quite nice when I test drove it at the store. I might be wishing for a snack tray down the road but we can always get something else down the road if needed.
Chicco Key Fit 30 car seat (love the harness, great reviews, levels on seat to ensure it is clicked in properly, solid handles with yellow features to make them stand out) - Baby Jogger City Mini GT stroller (compact, lightweight, one-handed fold, 3 rubber wheels, adjustable handlebar, love the window flaps and harness) - stroller is parent facing with the car seat adapter. We "test drove" a ton of strollers and this was our favourite by far. With this stroller you CANNOT hang your diaper bag from the handles for safety reasons (it will flip) the storage basket is also small - however, the amazing features of this stroller far outweighed those 2 negatives for me.
We were going with the Britax B-Agile and B-Safe combo and then we scored the Baby Jogger City Versa on an Amazon Lightning deal. The winner for the Versa (vs the City Mini and City Mini GT) is that it can parent face and the storage basked is huge. We got it for $210 including tax. Also, BJ (lol) has a lifetime warranty and Britax has a year warranty

I am so stuck. I going to need a double stroller because I have a 2 year old. So right now I have a bumbleride indie (for a jogger/all terrain) a britax b-agile for lightweight easy to fold. Perfect for the mall. And a Maclaren Techno xl which gets absolutely no use because it's bulky and doesn't fit neatly like the b-agile. I am really considering the Baby Jogger City Select, and also the City Mini GT. I have no idea. I really like the thought of off road tires- because I live in the woods and sidewalks are a premium up here in Maine. It's tough.
I just ordered the City Mini GT today. Kohl's allowed you to stack codes and then I had kohls cash so I saved $150! None of the stores in this area carry it so I didn't get to try it out, I'm hoping it is as great as everyone says.
@themainemama1 II got the select to use with my 2 year old and April babe. I will probably get the mini double as well. I have a single city GT new in the box. I think I'm just going to pay the difference and get the regular city double. The GT double is so much $ I'd rather just have a double BOB for that price!

Edited to include car seat choice
We got the Evenflo JourneyLite Travel System, Koi Grey. I was looking for a certain type of head rest, higher weight allowance and an adjustable base.

Super easy to fold up and store in the boot. And with the travel bag, it's covered by warrenty for breakage during travel.
ETA: include pic
I hang my bag from my Mini all the time!
