Which Graco travel system...
I'm having trouble uploading the photos, but I will do so as soon as the image is resized and emailed to me.
If you are familiar with the Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe Travel System - Bermuda and theGraco Ambrosia Vie4 Travel System - these are the 2 I'm trying to compare.
Again, we aren't finding out the sex so we want something that is gender neutral.
Also, keeping in mind that I have a sedan and we are not interested in SUVs... I was reading in the reviews section on the BRU site regarding the Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe Travel System - Bermuda... it got bad reviews for being bulky and those with sedans had a hard time fitting the stroller in the trunk! Although I'm not sure that the Ambrosia one is any better here.
Which stroller seems better?
If you have a car - which stroller did you go with? I'm registered for the Graco car seat frame too (the thing that's like a snap n go), so I can alway use that until our lease is up.

The only metrolite I've seen looks very boyish - it's blue... any pictures?

Re: Which Graco travel system...
I have the graco quattro tour deluxe in G....
I have to say that I love it. I have an 06 Hyundai Elantra, and I have no probs putting her stroller into my trunk.
i got the system b4 knowing what i was having also and thought that the one that i chose was very gender neutral. i must say... i love it!

Re: Which Graco travel system...
I'm leaning most toward the Graco Ambrosia Vie4 Travel System. I really love the pattern, but cant find much as far as customer reviews. Maybe it's newer? I don't remember seeing it before. I'm not sure how it differs from the Quattro systems?

I like this one, but it's not a travel system? Is it compatible with any of the snugride infant seats? What did you opt for as far as infant seat? I wanted the travel system so I wouldn't have to take the baby out of the seat to put into the stroller. Do you just use the Graco frame (like the snap n go) until they are no longer in an infant seat?

you can get the matching infant snugride seat. it's just you have to buy them separately.
We originally registered for the metrolite but i switched it to the chicco cortina. the weight is inbetween the metrolite and other graco models. The chicco has an adjustable handle for taller and shorter and also the stroller seat reclines completely.
here it is:

Yes, I am planning on using the snap 'n go with the infant car seat (it's only $50).

Re: Which Graco travel system...
Doesn't the Metrolite accept the Snugride? I haven't researched this much but I thought it did.

Re: Which Graco travel system...
I'm still partial to the ambrosia one... I think I can return it to BRU if it doesn't work out.

Yep it does.
I have the delancy one (the black and purpleish one) and I have a boy, but I dont think it is very "boy-ish".
I actually never saw the need for a snap and go with the metrolite because it is so light and easy to deal with.
