Re: What stroller/carseat are you planning on getting?

Depends on where you live and what your environment is like. If you are taking subways, buses, etc, i would stay away from anything too heavy or too big, things that can't fold quickly and easily, IE. Bugaboo. I am a city girl, so I have the city mini, and a maclaren for an umbrella.

While I love my maclaren as an umbrella for city life, I do not like it as a main stroller as I can't leave the diaper bag clipped to the back or it will flip over, it will do this even if the baby is in it and the baby is too light compared to the weight of the bag.

If you don't take public transit and are using the stroller for more walks to the park, shopping, etc. then weight and size aren't as much as a concern.

City Select with a Britax seat. Tried other high end strollers and didn't like them as much. DH thinks travel systems are impractical.

I was (and still am) torn between the britax bagile and the graco modes. I registered for the graco modes and a click connect car seat.

The Graco Modes was my second choice, I just hated both patterns. The Uppa was not easy at all for me to open or close, which is why we nixed it. The City Select was hands down the easiest and lightest stroller we tested.

I just had my shower and got an Uppababy Vista stroller and Chicco Keyfit carseat. Very happy with both. Chat Icon



Have and loooove the vista. We used it for naps (with and without the bassinet), feedings, walks, beach, vacations, etc. I loved being able to switch the direction the baby was facing easily.

BUT this is not my go-to stroller for quick trips to the store/mall. For that reason we didnt get the conversation kit for the car seat and just used the snap n go when DD was little. then got a light-weight uppababy stroller that stays in the trunk.

its not super heavy, but it has some weight to it. u put it away in two pieces which is easy once u understand how to do it.

I registered or the Britax B-agile stroller it includes the car seat. Its a travel system and its easy to fold and light as well. Britax car seat are ranked one of the top ones in safety as well



This is what we got. I love it already, it is so lighweight and easy to fold/open.

I have the uppababy vista, graco snugride 35 plus graco snap and go. I don't plan on getting other strollers. The uppa rides totally smooth and has the most comfortable seat for the baby. It folds in 5 seconds. It's heavy but you are only picking it up for a minute to throw in the car. The bottom line is if someone is willing to spend the money for a vista, you don't say no.

This is the combo my bro and SIL have, and is probably what we'll get too I'm thinking.
