We've been going back and forth on a few different systems and car seats but I wanted to see what everyone else has decided on or already has and will be using?
I know there have been a lot of recommendations, which are super helpful, but then I get confused and what I thought I wanted I don't want anymore. HELP! ~X(

I was also leaning towards the Britax b-agile / b-safe
Any STM's and over prefer the joggers over the regular wheels?

I use a Schwinn jogger for all outdoor walking.
If anyone remembers, please share. Cheers
My BFP Chart
Be careful with Baby Trend. I have heard several times that the lowest harness slot doesn't fit most newborns. The straps are likely to be ABOVE the shoulders for quite some time when they need to be BELOW the shoulders.

I think we have decided on the Britax B-Agile/B-Safe. I love how small it folds down and it has really great reviews in many categories. Also, it is a very reasonable price. Like PP mentioned, it does suck that it only comes in black, red of khaki. I was planning on getting a neutral colour since we plan on having more children, but I don't really like the 3 choices... However, definitely not a deal breaker. I don't love the red but I think we will choose that. I worry the black will attract a lot of heat in the sun.
I read this consumer report https://www.babygearlab.com/Stroller-Reviews and found it incredibly helpful in making a decision. I'm a FTM and have barely any babies in the family so I have almost never looked at a stroller before deciding for my own baby.
Hope someone else finds it useful
IT'S A BOY!

I like how light the car seat is, it always rates well on safety tests, I thought it was cushioned enough and has side impact protection.
We have an extra base for the car seat which is so nice. I don't like the snack tray for the stroller thou..

Thank you, we're first timers and I put this one on my registry (for insanely kind people that apparently wish to buy me gifts for successfully procreating ) and I'm excited to know people like it. Phew, that's one worry down. 6 million to go!
Now I'm looking into the Phil and teds navigator and second seat. Found an awesome deal second hand.
My sister gave us the contours double stroller. It's tandem seating and bulky but it has a large basket underneath and you have many different seating options. We will use that for big outings to the zoo and such over the summer.
Maybe it's because it's the middle of winter, but I also feel as if I am disproportionately worried about how any stroller will handle in the snow. I'm going to be a SAHM with a dog that needs to be walked twice while DH is at work. We walk in all weather, all temperatures, 365 days a year, so I need a stroller that can do 2 miles in the snow/day if need be. STMs or anyone else with experience here: do I need to be as worried as I am about this, or should I be confident in the ability of most strollers to handle okay on a snowy sidewalk? I've been eyeing the big-wheeled jogging strollers for this reason, but in all reality there will be no jogging and no going on dirt trails, so I don't know if that is overkill.
ETA: meant infant carrier, not car seat. That is a whole other topic, haha!
