This is my second baby. For my DD I had the snap n go and bob jogging stroller. When she was a little older I bought a nicer umbrella stroller for quick trips to the store or mall. I'm glad I listened and didn't get a bulky travel stroller.

We have a Stokke Xplory (which we will reuse for this baby) and we also have a City Mini. 

Married my BEST FRIEND on December 1, 2007. Started TTC in March 2008. Found out we were expecting our first child in October 2008 - but had a m/c in December 2008 - resulting in a d&e. Met with a RE in May 2009 and set a plan - but conceived unexpectedly on our own! Our precious little Sophia was born on February 9, 2010! Lilypie Third Birthday tickers

Peg Perego Pliko Switch. I had the regular pliko for my older two and loved it. I am splurging for the switch this time. Baby can face you and you can use it as a basinet too. I had the City Mini for my daughter too and loved it when she was bigger but before she was a year old she was always slumped down in it so I never used it. Also the foot rest doesn't come up. I felt like she always slept better in the PP because the foot rest came up.

I just bought (but didn't need) a single Baby Jogger City Micro on clearance from Target.  It was only $60, normally $200.

I will probably get a double jogging stroller to use at some point once LO2 gets older.

I used my snap n go and my Maclaran. 

This time I picked up a Phil & Teds Navigator to take DD and LO for long walks.

We just ordered the Uppababy Vista. I'm expecting that we'll get a light umbrella stroller too at some point.

Never used a stroller with my first. 

Please forgive my typos! I'm not as dumb as my iphone would like you to believe :)

Do you live in the city where you will walk a lot? Will you be at home or working full time?

I drooled over pricey strollers, but b/c I work full time I was afraid I wouldn't use it a ton. I ended up with a hand me down snap n go and a used Graco stroller, and I'm glad I didn't buy a fancy one because I just didn't use it enough to make it worth while. Both of those worked fine for me.

(Oh, and I also had a used jogging stroller for running when he was older).

So I think it really depends on your lifestyle situation.

Of the five strollers I had for DD, the Britax B-Agile was my favorite. It is really similar to the City Mini but you can find it way cheaper online.

I will be getting the B-Agile double when this LO comes.

After reading this thread this morning and dropping my older kids off at a friend's to play, I decided to start researching this. I tried several (Uppababy, Bumbleride, britax, bugaboo, Orbit, baby jogger) and I have to say that the baby jogger city mini gt is amazing!  Wow!  The way that thing folds is incredible. At first, I was thinking that I wanted either the Uppababy, bumble ride, etc with a bassinet because I have two older kids (almost 10 and 8) who are very active and will want to be at the pool this summer. I thought this baby could just sleep in the bassinet while at the pool/club.  But, knowing how quickly these kids outgrow these strollers and how cumbersome they become so quickly (we travel a ton), it's really hard to resist the maneuverability, folding and features of the city mini gt. I know I'll have plenty of room for three sets of golf clubs and the stroller in my trunk with that thing.  We are sold!  By the time this kid is 18 months, we will not be using the stroller much in favor of a much smaller umbrella like stroller, so I like the price point, too.  thanks for the tip!
