Re: Which stroller did you register for?

just wanted to share as a BTDT, I use my Maclaren umbrella stroller more than anything else. DS is 20 mos old and we still use it 80-90% of the time. I'm a full time working mom and we are in Suffolk cty and drive everywhere.
I bought a slightly used jeep liberty all terrain 3-wheel stroller (graco infant seat clips in without an attachment) on CL for $40. We use it for outings like the boardwalk, the zoo, anything that isn't paved, etc.

I also have the maclaren quest sport (purchased new for my shower) that we use for all shopping, any time we go into an office, dr appt, the city, etc. The maclaren is in my car all the time because it folds up to nothing and I think it's about 11 lbs. I keep a toddler bundleme on it all winter so I never even have to worry about DS kicking a blanket off or being warm enough. The stroller folds right up with the bundleme on it. I've used the rain cover that came with it and that was great too (we were in the city and while it wasn't raining, it was cold and windy and I didn't want the wind whipping around DS.) I find it super easy to maneuver 1-handed in stores and on the street/sidewalk.

DS is comfortable in both strollers and has no problem falling asleep in either.
I considered the city mini when DS was 8 mos old - he absolutely hated that he can't sit totally upright in it. Even when it's all the way upright, it's still on a recline and he kept pulling to sit up so he could see everything! While it steers smoothly and easily, due to it's size, it wasn't the easiest to navigate around buybuybaby. And honestly, I found it a little heavy to be called a lightweight stroller. I love that it has a huge sunshade and reclines totally flat though.
DS2 is due when DS1 is just about 2 yrs old - I plan on using a snap and go if i'm just out with DS2 by myself or if I'm going somewhere that DS1 can walk. If I'm out with DH with both babies, I'll use the maclaren twin traveller I bought very gently used on CL. It comes with headrests, foot muffs, a hanging parent organizer and rain cover. DS1 was out of the infant carrier by 4mos (i had abdominal surgery and couldn't carry it) and in the maclaren stroller as early as 3 weeks with no issues.

I hate that strollers are so expensive, because it really is trial and error to find the best one that works for you!
This is what I keep on hearing. I have been doing a lot of research and it seems even with the 2011 adding the new PE boards the stroller still does not sit completely upright. So I wondering if the City Mini is really a good idea or If I should just go with the Maclaren. I am in love with the fold but I have to think about LO being comfortable.

I'm pretty sure we are going to BBB this weekend and registering for Graco® MetroLite® Travel System - Hathaway™ (Hathaway is only available at BBB). And my friend is lending me her Jeep snap-n-go for a year.

why do you ladies need 2 strollers? Just wondering.
I have 2 only because I live in manhattan and travelling is hard with a big stroller if im in the subway or bus. so i got the maclaren triumph because its folds so easily. my quinny was given to me by someone who had 2...so i can use that one when im around the neighborhood or have my car with me and am going far

The carriage/Jogger is Baby Trends The Expedition ELX. My stroller is MacLaren for when baby is older. I figure i may as well get that now. Image Attachment(s):

I did a lot of research on strollers, I wanted a travel system as well, some people say they are too heavy, but from what I read they fit my needs more than the other strollers out there.
So, I registered for the Chicco Cortina 30 travel system in Fuego, it's supposed to be the most light weight out of the travel systems, and had a lot of nice features like handle bars that extend, cup holders etc...
This one. At first, I wanted the black and grey (romantic) but DH changed his mind and wants the red.
