Ladies - what kind of strollers are you getting/have? I'm looking at the Graco travel system... what do you think? Any negatives?

Re: Strollers!!!!
I got the Kolcraft frame and the Graco infant seat and am loving it. It is so easy to lift, put in the trunk, fold up, everything and no bulk. I will have to go get a stroller once Joseph is out of his infant seat but for now, I can't imagine anything easier!

Re: Strollers!!!!
We have this Graco travel system - it has a great reputation!
I also am going with a Graco travel system -- after many sleepless nights and many debates over the darn thing!! I can't make up my mind on a good day, so I went back and forth with this decision. I really wanted to go with the Graco Metrol Lite because of my carpal tunnel, but decided not to go with it because you can't get to the basket when the carrier is in place and when the baby is reclined, and to me, that is a BIG factor in my decision. Since I live in Queens, I plan to get rid of this baby weight (or one can dream) quickly by walking all over Maspeth/Middle Village and Astoria!! That means I need a basket to put all my shopping in!
So after much back and forth, I finally decided on the Chauffeur Coach Rider travel system. I know it's kind of heavy, but to me it felt lighter then the Quattro (I had a hard time w/that one in the store, let alone w/a baby in it). Who knows, knowing me I just might change my mind after I get the stroller and get something else!! (Typical me!!)
You need to go test them out and see which one feels best for you and which one suits your needs the most. Everyone will have a different opinion on them, so just go with what you feel works the best for you!!!
Oh! One thing I definitely heard raves about was the Kolcraft Universal Car Seat Carrier -- I picked that one instead of the Snap & Go by Easy Trend because it felt much sturdier and the basket was bigger, plus the baby sat up higher. BBB sells the Kolcraft and BRU sells the other one!
Good luck!

We also got this Pliko Matic lightweight stroller...it's a bit pricey, but DH loved the *feel* of it.

Re: Strollers!!!!
I have the Graco carrier for my infant car seat and the Chicco deluxr stroller. You can place the graco carrier right into the body of the chicco.
we liked the look/feel of the chicco plus we researched the heck out of it and many many many parents gave ti high ratings. Some said after purchasing/going through 3 strollers they loved the Chicco. We wanted to avoid THAT expense and bought the chicco
no complaints, very easy to use and I use it quite a bit at home and on the road...so it isnt too bulky to lift into the car

Re: Strollers!!!!
Okay, after test driving many strollers at the store (my sister refused to get in them so I could try them with a child ), I decided on the Peg Perego Aria, and the Kolcraft Universal Seat w/my infant car seat.
