Stroller help!
Hi ladies! I'd love to hear what strollers you like to use. I have a Chicco car seat and bought the click in carriage to use (essentially wheels that click to the car seat) but my daughter does not like to sit in the car seat carriage like that. i think it might be the angle of it? I'm not sure. And now I'd like to try a real stroller. It's so confusing to pick one! There's just so many. I need it for walking around the neighborhood (a little bit bumpy and some uneven sidewalk/pavement), and for errands like the mall or shopping.
Any suggestions or favorites out there??
Thanks!

I'm still using the stroller I got 5 years ago when I was pregnant with my son. It's a little outdated, but it's in great condition. I have a Maclaren Techno XLR. It's been great, but if I needed to get another stroller I think I'd buy a Cybex Callisto or a Britax B-Ready.

Jogging stroller with pivot wheel! I tried sticking with two other kinds of strollers, one that matched the infant car seat and another that was just a regular stroller. After a year of searching online, I found someone selling a jogging stroller (city elite) and I absolutely love it! I can use it to run, walk, shop, or whatever! I know this sounds picky too, but get a stroller that has a canopy that will actually block some of the sun!
Good luck!

i LOVE my BOB. i've yet to find a terrain it can't cover (great for walks/jogs around the neighborhood, but also off-roading areas like parks, fairs, festivals, etc.). it's incredibly light, easy to fold and maneuvers like a dream. i can steer it with two fingers and go in and out of non-automatic doors without having to ask someone to hold it open for me - ha! it also fits in both trunks (the graco that came with our travel system doesn't). i know it's classified as a "jogging stroller", but if i had to do it again, i'd have only bought the BOB and then purchased the carseat adapter accessory. my son is 2.5 and we've had the stroller for about a year and a half - i can't see ever using another one. can't recommend it highly enough.

this looks like the current version of the one i have: http://www.bobgear.com/revolutionSE
my only complaint with my BOB Revolution is the storage underneath is pretty minimal. it's rarely an issue (only been a problem when shopping at the mall on my own, but an extra trip to the car to drop off bags isn't a dealbreaker IMO). it looks like, though, that with this updated model they may have added some more under-seat storage.

I have the Quinny stroller with the Maxi Cosi infant carrier!! It is fantastic!! You can put all kinds of different things in it! Like the infant carrier, or the maxi Cosi infant to toddler car seat, and it comes with a carrier that can face you or face out!! My little man is five months old and loves it!!!

I have BOB too. I love it!! It does everything you want it to... I even got the attachment for the car seat so that when she was little I could use it. I take it to the beach, the mountains, shopping, everywhere!! And my little 8 month old loves it, I also bough the attachment for snacks and her drink to fit in, it's a little tall so that is a bit of a problem and the storage underneath is a minimal, however its an amazing stroller. BOB goes every!!

I can't rate the uppa baby vista highly enough. You can buy an adaptor for various brand infant seats. It comes with a bassinet which is great for those first 4-5 months and super useful for visits to friends when nap time is near! Then you have a lovely stroller seat that has various recline levels, a built in sun shade and most importantly the stroller has a big basket area underneath - I regularly use this instead of a cart at the grocery store. Makes my life so much easier than navigating a cart with the car seat on top. It's a huge plus for any shopping trip too, I never gave that bit much thought when looking but the bug basket makes life so much easier in so many situations
