We just got our FOURTH stroller in the last two years, but this one was out of nesitsecy. At first we were gifted a Graco travel system, but I wish I had done more research on what I wanted in a stroller. I used to work at Walt Disney World and the Graco strollers were what I saw every person toting their kids around in, so I didn't really know any differently. It lasted about 9 months, but took up too much space in my car trunk, and just didn't steer very well while pushing a baby and walking two dogs.After a ton of research and deciding on a budget, we bought a Baby Jogger City Mini brand new, off of craigslist. I have never once regretted that purchase, in fact, it was the BEST baby purchase we've ever made! Not only is the stroller lightweight and super duper easy to fold, it takes up a tiny amount of space in a trunk. The best feature is probably it's maneuverability; I can literally steer it with two fingers while my 25 lb. son sits in it. It has a wide canopy, and you can buy the accessories that you want for it (like a parent tray/cupholders, car seat adaptor). The storage basket is quite tiny and hard to access, but it hasn't been that big of an issue for us.We also bought a cheapo umbrella stroller to get thru the airport when we travel. I didn't want my expensive City Mini to be damaged by the airlines, and needed something easy to lift onto the security xrays by myself. I hate the thing, cause it's so low and doesn't steer well, but for $10 it gets the job done.We just bought our second Baby Jogger stroller, but only because we need a double since our second son is due in a few weeks. Indiana still needs to be strapped into a stroller when we go out, especially when he has to take a nap in the afternoon. We bought the City Select stroller, which can convert from a single to a double in-line. It has a large storage basket, and we purchased the car seat adaptor for our Graco car seat. It is easy to fold, lightweight for a double stroller, and easy to steer. Although we haven't used it yet, I'm confident that we made the right decision with this choice as our double stroller.
