I have had it! Please help me make this stroller decision...

Originally, I was going to get the Snug Ride and the Snugrider frame, and that would be it for now....until later, when I needed a stroller for after 22-30lbs.

So, I went to BRU, and looked at the travel systems, and saw the Chicco Cortina, which I think is really nice....BUT the snap and go is not compatible with it.

I am not really into the Graco Quattro, it just seems really big, and then the Snugrider frame is only used for as long as the infant seat...so what's the point?

Please enlighten me, this is holding up my registering...lol

My cousin has the chicco cortina and she uses it with the snap and go all the time.

We went with the Graco Snugride infant seat, the Baby Trend Snap-n-Go (didn't get the Graco frame because it didn't have cupholders Chat Icon ) and the City Mini by Baby Jogger for the stroller after DS grows out of the infant carrier.

I registered for the graco snugride infant seat and the baby jogger city mini ..i didnt want to register for a snap and go and another stroller bc i have limited storage space so i just registered for the infant seat attachment that goes right on the city mini stroller and the seat attaches right onto it

we just did the chicco cortina travel system.

i don't think we need the snap n' go because the stroller in the travel system is super easy to open, close, and attach the seat to

I am a super big fan of my baby Jogger City Mini, I got the car seat adapter too, os its like a snap and go, but I will be able to use it till little one is MUCH older (I stuck my 5 year old Nephew in it to try it out, and he said it was comfy)

City Mini is a lil more expensive, but it doesnt weigh as much as a travel system, and it saves you from having to buy a Snap and go, and another stroller later.
Good Luck! The whole stroller/carseat thing to me a while to figure out too!

It doesnt snap in. There are two straps but I heard its easy to put in and secure.

I also registered for the chicco cortina system, snap n go and the city mini jogger.

We registered for a Graco Snugride infant seat and the matching Metrolite stroller. The stroller is super light and easy to use....Plenty big for a growing child....

If you get the Chicco Cortina travel system - you don't really need the snap and go since the infant seat will snap into the stroller.

We're going to get the Snug Ride and Snugrider frame and then either the City Mini or a Maclaren - most of my friends who got travel systems ended up buying a Maclaren (or a similar stroller) anyway since the stroller in the travel system takes up a lot of trunk space.

i got the Chicco Cortina travel system (stroller and infant seat) ..my aunt purchased it for us for my shower and i actually have it in the house now.

I loved it..it had great reviews and i got the DISCOVERY color..green/grayish set. the key fit base it comes with can be used with their other car seats when the baby is heavier for those.

With DS I had the Metrolite travel system and it worked fine. However, with baby #2, I'm reusing the infant car seat portion of the travel system with a Graco Snap 'n Go. I got tired of the Metrolite's weight compared to the Snap 'n Go frame!
