We had the Graco literider stroller system for DS and while it was lighter and easier to handle than a lot of stroller systems, I still thought it was cumbersome and we ended up getting an umbrella stroller.

We are going to buy a Chicco Keyfit for DS#2 (we need a new infant carseat) and probably buy the snap & go! We'll either buy a double stroller or double umbrella (should there be a need later on) or just use the single umbrella we have for when DS#2 is out of the infant seat.

We got a Chicco Cortina. LO hasn't arrived yet, but I have assembled the stroller and practiced installing the seat. So far I like it a lot - the stroller folds up very easily and seems easy to maneuver. Of course, I have nothing to compare it to other than pushing a wheelchair.

One of the best pieces of advice I got was to not get a travel system. I was advised to do it all separately. I have the key fit 30 and a baby jogger city mini gt. I am borrowing a snap and go until my daughter is big enough for the city mini. My friend told me that a really good stroller is worth the investment.

@MRSJX3: you did the right thing! I WISH I would have gotten that advice. I have the city mini gt double stroller and it is so easy to maneuver! Well for a double stroller anyway!

I have the Chicco Cortina, and I regret it. I wish I had gotten a snap n go or similar, and later an umbrella stroller. We are not big stroller people.

I bought the Chicco Keyfit 30, but had also been recommended to go with a good stroller vs the travel system. I was never able to try out the Chicco travel system in a store, but I did try lots of strollers. Rather than get a smaller stroller and then a jogging stroller later on, I just went with the Baby Jogger Summit X3. I haven't used it yet with the baby (due in 2w), but the Chicco fits into the adapter quite easily, and the adapter doesn't need to be removed before folding - which can be done one handed.
