Honestly, I went through 3 strollers and hated them all.

Re: Suggestions for a stroller .... which did you really LOVE????

I highly recommend going into the store and trying the strollers yourself. I only wanted the graco snugride infant car seat so I stuck to graco strollers when I was trying them, although I did try to Pegs and didn't like them much (but they weren't the super high-end ones either). I LOVE the Quattro in blueberry but it was way tooooo heavy for me to life in and out of the car everyday. I registered for the Metrolite. Really for me it boiled down to 'can I get this thing folded and in and out of the car myself easily' and the answer with many of the strollers was NO. I have had 3 arm surgeries plus back problems so a 24+lb stroller was out of the question for me.

Jenny- where can you try the silver cross stuff? I have not seen them in any stores and would love to try it.
Here is my dream (the site doesn't let you post photos)

This is the one I'm getting. I tried every stroller in Buy Buy Baby, and this is my favorite by far!

Love that stroller JennRenee!!! As for me, I also tested all the **** strollers and even though I decided on the Graco Coach Rider, I'm still going back and forth with my decision. I have a feeling that I'm going to be returning it and finding something lighter, because I too had hand/arm surgery and can't lift half the strollers out there.

Then again, I've been second guessing everything I picked, so that's just me!

Re: Suggestions for a stroller .... which did you really LOVE????

and it weighs something like 40lbs- just the base and doesn't fold up so for us LI gals it is 100% inpractical but who said I was practical
but the $2K price tag on this one will prevent me from walking the streets of Ronkonkoma with it It would look really beautiful in my LR though

We have a Chicco deluxe XL.. and I love, love love it. Full recline for infants. Easy for me to fold and put in the car...slight adjustment of the handlebars for taller people- so I can make it taller for me and rob can re adjust it down for him.
only drawback is the basket underneath is small...but its not even worth complaining about that

What do you ladies think of this

I have seen women and men carrying this on their backs and then it converts to a stroller

Re: Suggestions for a stroller .... which did you really LOVE????

I have the jogging stroller amd I love it you can take it anywhere. The only drawback is there is only a tiny basket on the bottom of it. However the umbrella strollers I can not stand. I must have like 4 of them and I hate each of them. They are good because they are light, quick and easy, but the wheels always turn in opposite directions and the brakes always get stuck
