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

I also bought the Chicco corso Flex which will act as a double too but is also LARGE. I ordered the [Graco Outpace LX All-Terrain 3-Wheel Baby Stroller](https://a.co/d/0gXmm3JF). I essentially use it for everything. It also will “fit” the Chico key car seat , not officially but even essentially snaps in. It only really unclips easy if the baby is in the car seat , I think from the pressure. For travel I have two other more compact strollers I will use. The [evenflo reversi](https://www.walmart.com/ip/Evenflo-Reversi-Lightweight-Reversible-Stroller-Leonis-Green-Unisex/728005325?selected=true&clickid=Uapz%3AfzhLxyZUKkzwLSbVQj4Uku152Wd32zVz80&irgwc=1&afsrc=1&sourceid=imp_Uapz%3AfzhLxyZUKkzwLSbVQj4Uku152Wd32zVz80&veh=aff&wmlspartner=imp_65668&affiliates_ad_id=565706&campaign_id=9383&sharedid=&sid=17608d31-6419-43ab-95ea-52f29037714d) is loong when folded down, but I really enjoy how the seat lays flat and also it can be flipped to face you. This was really helpful when she was younger. Now I also use the [GB Pockit+ All Terrain Stroller](https://fromrebel.com/products/pockit-all-terrain-stroller-black-1bc391) for really quick things like doctor appts when idk if the big strollers will fit into say the bathroom. I really like the website https://fromrebel.com for open box items or overstock.
I would start with a baby trend snap and go stroller first…and then buy a nice one based on your needs We bought the chicco flex because we loved our first chicco corso and ended up selling it because it was too heavy and bulky and we were unable to walk solo with our toddler and twins. We ended up getting a Zoe trio and love it
For a different price point - I love our Chicco Corso Flex stroller! We got the full travel system but The stroller seat has a “near flat” recline that I used as a “bassinet” style feature, but not sure if you are wanting full bassinet attachment. I preferred this as I wouldn’t have as many pieces to store in the long run! It’s pretty smooth of a ride at the price point imo, and easy to fold, you can technically use one hand to fold/unfold but I’m not coordinated enough lol!
Commenting as a +1 for the Chicco Corso travel system! I felt it was the perfect “mid-range” option for us after having the same dilemma as OP. It’s held up great on gravel, long walks and grass for us so far. I also like that I can push it with one hand. Have the Fit360 car seat and we love it as well so Chicco is a solid choice imo that not many people talk about!
Since a lot of people are mentioning travel systems, want to share the combo we use that I love but I don’t tend to see around here as often. We use Chicco; so KeyFit car seat - in hindsight did not need the 35, we moved into a graco 3in1 before 25 lb lol. As for stroller, we have a Chicco Presto which is lightweight closely with one hand. I keep that in the back of my car for quick trips. Then we have our “bus” the Chicco Corso Flex. I LOVE this thing. There is so much storage when you’re on a day trip and supports multiple kids at various ages I plan to use this thing for years to come. Both support the Keyfit to lock in. All these things can be found on sale. Best of luck and congratulations!
I have a 17 month old and newborn. Chicco corso flex has been great for us, but it is LARGE
We HATE our double stroller, so I’d advise to absolutely do your research and invest in a decent one. We have a chicco double stroller (one in front of the other, we thought it’d be great since the single was good, and we wanted to be able to pop the infant car seat in the double), and will be getting a veer wagon soon. Our double stroller has turned us off double strollers as a whole 😂
