I am STILL undecided about a stroller....HELP
The tour systems are $199 at BRU and I can't envision spending more than that on a mid size stroller by itself. I am HIGHLY worried about the weight of the thing.
A friend of mine got the Peg PErego Aria (I trust her judgement as she does her research VERY thouroughly).
I LOVE the VEnezia but can't ask anyone to pay that kind of money for it....
Advice please....personal experience/pictures of what you have.....

Re: I am STILL undecided about a stroller....HELP
I also heard the travel systems are heavier then most...we were going to go with the Venezia - I liked how you can reverse the handles too..
but after reading alot of reviews decided to go with the Zippy by Inglesia.. Image Attachment(s):

Re: I am STILL undecided about a stroller....HELP
Honestly Shana - I would put it on the registry and it could be something that a few people chip in to get or if you get money you could buy along with some coupons that BRU sends.
Do not buy a stroller just b/c its cheap - you will use it so much that its honestly worth every dime especially if you're happy with it.
I have the Graco Metrolite and I HATE it but I have to live with it b/c I'll be needing a double stroller soon. In retrospect I should have registered for either the Peg Perego or the Inglesina........

Re: I am STILL undecided about a stroller....HELP
I have the Perego pliko 3 and have lots of trouble attaching the car seat to the stroller. The car seat (primo viaggo) is the same one that can be used for the Aria and my son sweats in it, I realized that was one of the complaints by other users after I bought it. The fabric is not that breathable. I can only suggest to research all and ask for opinions.

I 100% agree. Maybe a a couple of your girlfriends will chip in for it. Or maybe you will get a few gift cards. The people at my old job got me a gift card & that paid for my stroller.

Re: I am STILL undecided about a stroller....HELP
I had the hardest time picking out a stroller too,
tryed to do as much research as possible and pick something I liked the look of too,
talked to a few mommy friends,
and everyone hated there graco travel system, and some went out and bought new Strollers light weight,
I was told to look at the Macleran strollers,
so I test drove a few at buy buy baby and feel in love with the Global buggy Macleran. It was so easy to steer, it was great!!!
GO TO STORE AND WHEEL A BUNCH OF THE STROLLERS AROUND< IT HELPS
I didnt want to register for it either, but was talked into it, and like eveyone else said people can chip in together.
Luckily my in laws bought it,
I can't wait to use it,
BEST OF LUCK deciding,
its a big decison, but get what you really want, you deserve it!!!
PS
I also Graco snugrider carrier (stroller) for the infant car seat to leave in my car!!

We have the Venezia, I loved it and its great, it was on the registry and we bought it ourselves.
I saw GRACO has a new similiar carriage style stroller at BRU.
ETA: I found a pic, its the Graco Coachrider... I would love to hear how it matches up to a Peg, its looks nice with a lot of the same features.

I have the Graco Literider travel system in the shining star pattern. I ordered it from Amazon. For a travel system is surprisingly light weight and it was also fairly inexpensive $139.99 with free shipping. Image Attachment(s):
