Chicco Cortina vs. Graco Metrolite...HELP!

I looked at both today at BRU...I liked the MEtrolite's lightness and the way it folded...it was flatter than the Cortina...but I like the construction of the Cortina, the seat folded all the way back and I liked the colors better...

Advice please!!!!! Chat Icon

I chose the Cortina. I like the sturdiness of it, the flat lay down feature, the big basket, the one handle (wth cup feature & storage pocket), and the tray. DS is 18 mnths - all my friends use a McLaren and I still rock my Cortina because I like it so much. I just like it better than any others I had (Umbrella and Peg Perego Aria).
I cannot truly comment on the metrolite. I used one once when I was visiting family in Florida. It was a nice stroller, a bit more flimsy than the Cortina maybe but an overall good stroller.

I have the Chicco Cortina and I really, really like it. Emerson has always been comfy in it and I feel like it's well built. It folds easy and is not too heavy. I am happy I went with the Cortina. Chat Icon

We have the metrolite and LOVE it. It folds down very easily. It's very light. We have the adjustable hand thing which is great for me who is height challenged and my DH who isn't. Love our metrolite
