BOB alterrain Pro. It's a jogging stroller but it handles super well to be used on a day-to-day basis. It is a bit big but is fine for the bus and SkyTrain in Vancouver. It has big wheels that are perfect for all sorts of terrains (gravel, beach sand, snow - on our rare snow days).
I've used mine essentially daily since my first was born almost 4 and a half years ago and it's still going strong. When they are little, you can get an adaptor for the car seat. I will concur that it would be better to have a bassinet option but it's such a short time.
We didn't think we'd need a travel system since we don't travel a TON, but our stroller for walks and the zoo and things is the Bob Alterrain Pro. We have a Chicco system that we use for airport and malls, and the suspension and steering is just SO much better on the Bob. The Chicco is perfectly adequate for walking indoors though
We need a double stroller! Or two?
Our single stroller is a Bob Allterrain Pro which we love.. great sun shade, maneuverability, greatwhen we do go to more rough terrain spots... bulky to fold up but its okay... and use a cheap stroller for travel but now we have an 18 month old and 1 month old. We use our stroller for neighborhood walks often, sidewalks are wide and well paved but pretty hilly neighborhood. We also like to bring it when we go places in the car (new Rav4) and need something that will fit okay and not take up 100% of the trunk space.
In my area in market place there are often Bob or Thule side by sid and the City Select double for sale but we aren't opposed to buying new if one stroller can meet our needs. I will add that we also live in Canada so it needs to be easily available here.
I am wondering if the city select for going out would be best along with a side by side model for walking in our neighborhood would be best? Also... wagons!? I haven't even looked into these and haven't tried any other than our Costco wagon..help!
I also have a Chicco bravo that I got used and it sucks. I also have a bob alterrain pro. It's nice for me to have around my neighborhood for walks in the winter. It handles SO NICELY. But it's not compact enough to fit in my car (Mazda cx-50) with my dog's crate in the back too. But my Chicco bravo fits in there. It's pretty bulky. Doesn't fold up easily. But i do love it. Keep it in my garage. My husband takes it on runs. I'd buy it again though.
We have 3. First we were gifted a BOB All Terrain Pro. We wanted this for trails, disc golfing, road running, and Austin city limits festival. The thing's a tank. Then we got a ~$100 wagon for a beach trip and afterwards that became our "tow the tot to the pool" wagon. Third, we came across a BOB double stroller on offer up for ~$100 after we had our second kiddo I've run a lot with it and it's sturdy as hell, just outdated. We use all three. If I could do it again knowing I'd have two kids, the double stroller from the get go would have been the clear choice. I have been curious about the fancy wagons that you can push rather than pull. Seems like a very ergonomic way to get your kids around as opposed to the pull handle, but whatever. I figure I'm done with these purchases now and don't want to store anything else lol.
THIS.
Now, I did get a brand new Bob All Terrain Pro as a gift (first grandchild on both sides....), but I specifically requested a used one on marketplace. My parents were adamant that their only grand son would have a brand new stroller. Lol okay then, thanks!
But there are soo many on marketplace and theyre awesome strollers!
If you want to take any off road trails, apple orchards (tis the season) or live on a dirt road - the BOB is THE stroller. I've taken it everywhere! And if I am in the city - lol what sidewalk crack? Don't even feel them. Smooth as butter!
I swear by the BOB.
For infant car seats - so easy too! The the appropriate adapter, my chicco keyfit 35 snaps right in and off we go. (Bought the carseat from a friend who also has a BOB stroller).
I love my BOB! My parents spoiled me with a new All Terrain Pro (I ASKED that they buy used on marketplace....but its their first grandkid...)
I have the adapter for his car seat since he's only 8 weeks but he's so relaxed in it! Gravel road? Pfft. Smooth as buttah
I have the BOB jogging stroller and there's an attachment to place the infant car seat in. I used that all summer. Now that he can sit up, he sits in the stroller like a big boy. 🥰
The reason they say not to jog with the car seat attachment is because the stroller is top heavy and can tip easier. I assumed the risk and jogged with it - but I had a c-section and live in a flat region - so the risk of tipping over was pretty damn minimal. I'm slow as hell.

One BoB jogger - it's my go to for everything.
I have a Summer umbrella stroller too but I never use it. I imagine if we fly anywhere that'll be the one we grab. But the Bob, though large, is the most comfortable overall.
My running stroller is my everyday stroller. Theyre expensive. (But you can find good deals on marketplace for a bob!!)
The only time it might be an issue is an airport for which I will use a travel stroller. I was gifted a hand me down summer umbrella stroller id use on that case.
I have a BOB stroller as my main. My little guy is only 5 months old so the infant car seat adapter has been so easy to use! Its gone everywhere! I dont even care how bulky it is, that thing is versatile and smooth af.
I have a summer stroller a friend gave us as a lighter on the go stroller for when he gets older.
Totally dependent on your lifestyle and needs! I live on a dirt road so the best stroller for me has been a BOB. Given my choice in a stroller with insane suspension - an infant car seat with an adapter was necessary. I had purchased a used Chicco Keyfit 35 from a friend who was one and done because it doesnt expire until 2030 and came with two cardiac seat bases for each of our vehicles!
I love my BOB!
Larger and kind of clunky. But I live on a dirt road and this thing is smooth as butter. Also has the adapter to plop the car seat in it when he was a wee lad. Now he's 9 months and can sit up and loves looking out!
I didn't but i live onna dirt road. So I need suspension. BOB was my best option. It's good for funs, good for walking on dirt roads. It's everything I needed in one!

Travel-friendly, city-nimble, but tiny storage and struggles off-pavement.
