XP: Which stroller do you have?

Hi Ladies,

I'm 11 weeks with my third baby and we need a new stroller. Because this is our third and last, I don't want to spend a ton of money. I want it to be a travel system that will fit with either the Graco Snugride or Chicco Keyfit. I want into be light and fairly durable.

I have been doing some research and saw the Hauck Malibu which I had never heard of before but you get a bassinet, stand, stroller and universal car seat adapter for 350 dollars. It seems like a good deal but I'd love to hear from anyone who has purchased it. Any other suggestions would be great too. I don't really want to spend more than 350 as we have to buy a new car seat too.

Thanks for your suggestions!

Never heard of Hauck Malibu  but it looks awesome! We have the chicco Keyfit system and really like it. The stroller feels light even with the carrier on it and baby inside. The only thing I don't like is I feel like my guy sweats in his carseat. It's so weird! I don't know if it's the fabric or what but he gets really overheated in it. Other than that very durable, safe, easy to use, etc.

I'm not much help. This is our 3rd and last and I bought the Britax B-Ready system. I had the Graco double and it hurt my back so back getting it in and out. I love the Britax system. We bought it online at Justkidsstore.com for over $100 less. I have never heard of the Hauk Malibu either. Just wanted to say that every brand of infant carrier we had, my baby sweats. I think it is the snugness that they are in there.

I have the Britax B-Safe carseat and B-Agile stroller and I love them.  The stroller is very lightweight (like 17lbs) and collapses really easily.  It's also very smooth and the bar for the rear wheels sits high so my 6'4" husband can push the stroller without kicking it.  The carseat has great reviews so that was a big selling point for me.  The only downside I've found so far is that if you want anything like a cupholder you have to purchase it separately.

Awesome. My husband is 6 foot 5 and I'm 6 foot 2. Having a handle that I don't have to stoop to reach us HUGE fior us!

We have the graco metrolite stroller and we love it. It is fairly light and has great maneuverability. It also has a good in underneath and cup holders on top. It fits our graco snugride 35 and most graco car seats. I think the 2 combined came to around 250 or so.

I have the Chicco KeyFit carseat & the Chicco KeyFit Caddy stroller.  It's a snap & go type stroller, so you can only use it while the baby is in the infant car seat, but it's the greatest.  It's lightweight, easy to fold & unfold, folds small, easy to maneuver, hold tons of stuff in the underseat pocket, and the handle adjusts for taller & shorter people.  It costs something in the $100 range.  I love it.
