Stroller help

Which stroller did you register for and why. I cant seem to find the one I want even after testing driving them 3 different times.

We went with the metrolite stroller by graco. So far, so good, plus we can put the infant seat right in it if we want.

Re: Stroller help

I have the Graco Passage (because for the $ deal I got, I could not pass it and it was a great stroller).

I had originally registered for the bumbleride flyer. Which I would have gotten if I did not see the Graco travel system on super clearance.

Re: Stroller help

We are getting the bugaboo but if we weren't my next choice would definitely be a Maclaren Techno XT. They are easy to fold, lightweight and last a long time.

Re: Stroller help

I had the hardest time with this. At the end I was deciding between a Peg Perego Pliko P3 and an Inglesina Zippy. I chose the Peg over the Zippy bc there was access to the basket underneath from the back. The Zippy has bars blocking acess from the back, but it was easier to fold. I also registered for a less expensive Combi as well.

This was my first pick. But then the person in BRU's said alot of moms complain because it weighs 30 lbs.. Is this true?

Metrolite by Graco..it was the easiest for me to maneuver and lightweight. I also received the Quatro Tour, from a friend who never used it....we kept it, but neither DH or I are a huge fan...but it will be good for an extra or for the grandparents to use.

There is no way this weighs 30 pounds!! It is so lightweight. We love it(of course DC isn't here yet, but we loved it test riding it out!)

Same here!! We were btwn these two as well and decided on the Perego Pliko P3 as well. I have seen these around and even stopped a couple of mom's to ask them how they liked theirs and have only heard rave reviews! I am thinking of getting a snap n go for the very beginning too, but haven't decided yet if that is necessary.

I was going back and forth with these too, but the chicco is too heavy for me.

Re: Stroller help

I chose the Perego Pliko P3 (recently purchased off my registry Chat Icon ) because a lot of family members have it and said they loved it. I went to BBB and the woman rep highly recommended it as well and she showed me all the features and I was impressed.

I also registered for the Graco snugrider frame stroller. My snugrider infant car seat snaps right into this. It's a very sturdy stroller that will move easily around.

Re: Stroller help

I'm torn as well. I like the Graco Metrolite and the Zippy because they fit the Snugride car seat.

Even though I'm getting the snap and go I still though it would be good if the infant car seat fit into the stroller and it doesn't as far as I know with the P3. I also heard the Maclaren is good but I think you need an adaptor for the Snugride car seat to fit?

Also, they all weigh 17 lbs and the Metrolite 18lbs the Graco Quattro weighs about 30lbs.

Re: Stroller help

I am going to register for the Rock Star stroller, it has a frame similar to the snap-n-go which fits the Graco Snugride infant carseat. No need for the snap-n-go at all!

Re: Stroller help

i think it is the quatro travel system that weighs 30 lbs - the metrolite i think is only a little more than half of that


taking the advice of all my friends with babies - we registered for the snap and go for the beginning and then the metrolite for after that!
