Chicco - Bravo Primo Trio Travel System

So a travel system is what you might like, that’s is what combines carrier and stroller and sometimes bassinet (most have that as something else you can buy though). Being in the city and no car I’d focus on smaller the better. The Doona is going to be your most compact option. Any other stroller/carrier combo is going to end up fairly big and bulky. And don’t get me wrong I loved our Chicco Bravo and really love our mockingbird but in an urban environment could see them being cumbersome.

My Chico bravo travel system actually does fine on gravel. The shock absorbers are pretty great. But it’s heavy as hell and takes up my entire trunk so… I’d get the jogging stroller.

I have the Chicco Bravo and I love it. It doesn't have any of the issues you just described. Its convenient in every way. My only complaint about it is it is a little heavy, but not enough to make me want something different so it can't be that bad! Lol 

We have only one, chicco bravo. It’s full sized and great for all scenarios so far.

We went with the Chicco travel system, https://www.chiccousa.com/shop-our-products/travel-systems/bravo-travel-systems/ it has been great. Had to buy a bigger car seat from GRACO eventually since little guy outgrew the original. But we don't use it as a system anymore we just use the Chicco as a stroller. Only downside is it's pretty hefty for packing in back of vehicle or traveling on airplane.

I have a Chicco and it’s midrange at best and I wish I had gone with a more expensive one. I live in NYC so it would have been enormously important for maneuverability.

When we had our first kid we went with a Chicco travel system and it did the job without costing anywhere close to a grand.

We got a chicco and it’s like $350-$400 for the car seat AND stroller but they run frequent sales and we personally love ours! Swing was less than $100, we just at the moment cannot fathom a $1000 stroller/car seat combo.  Walmart sales, target sales, everything in between. Comparison will forever be the thief of things and I can say my baby will not remember things what stroller 

We’ve used our Chicco bravo 3 in 1 for 6.5 months  since baby was born (first time, wish I had a longer timeframe for you) and it’s great. It was a gift and included the car seat for $300 at the time (now $390 for both.) it’s been super easy to use as a system, the stroller is rock solid, and the car seat was super easy to click in an out when baby was under six months. Lots of storage and so easy to push.

We love our Chicco car seat and stroller (the stroller handles amazingly well and is super easy to fold up/open) and the oxo dispenser is great too!

I have never tried a stroller over $500 but my chicco bravo works great for us. I'm going to add my 2 cents because I didn't see these in the comments. - Is this your first child? If you use the super expensive stroller for multiple children it's going to be more "worth it." When I was pregnant I thought I would have 2 close together but now we have decided to be one and done. So ideal family size might impact how much you want to spend? - I didn't get a bassinet stroller and then I regretted it because I wanted to have baby fall asleep flat in the stroller and sleep safely. So then I bought a cheap bassinet stroller from Amazon that I only used in the house. We would put baby in that and roll around the kitchen getting things done. Of course you could do this with your main stroller but I didn't like the idea of the dirty wheels coming into the house . - People mention secondhand. If you are in the US see if there is a Rhea Lana sale by you.
