Mini Bravo Sport Stroller

I got a Chicco mini bravo sport travel system. I like the car seat the stroller is pretty simple nothing fancy but that’s what I wanted. Haven’t out the stroller together yet so idk how heavy it is.  Then have a hand me down graco stroller from sister in law that has a bit more and is heavier.

regular and travel. Got the travel system bc I had to fly solo with baby unexpectedly. Honestly, I now just use the travel. The regular graco model I had was so heavy and such a hassle to get in and out of car. And the stupid brake was so hard to release. I love my chicco mini bravo! I can now do everything one handed, such a breeze! Highly recommend

chico’s mini travel system (mini bravo i think?). So easy to collapse one handed and with minimal effort. And easy to brake. I had a graco prior that I would struggle with to collapse and get in the car, and to brake. Huge difference for my body!

We used the infant seat and a little chicco trolley thing. Like a much smaller lightweight stroller. I was able to use the carrier fairly quickly but the combo was easier.

Id suggest picking out a carseat, then seeing what strollers are compatible. Then you don't need to worry about another adapter I had a Chicco Bravo and it worked fine on sidewalks/side of the road in winter. To be clear I used it as a going for walks for fun stroller, not a heavy duty commuting stroller. But it was what I needed and cost effective ($200 vs the $1k+ top of the line strollers!). It also folded fine into my small car, and wasn't too annoying to carry up 3 porch steps No clue about the bassinet but I just used the car seat with mine. By 8 months or so, baby liked sitting up and watching the world go by instead of sleeping anyways. Or honestly I wasn't going to "use up" a nap in the stroller. Strollers were for keeping baby occupied, naps at home so I could get stuff done! So never needed the bassinet

Not brand-specific, but if you’re taking walks with a newborn outside you might want to consider a system that doesn’t require using an infant car seat as the only place to put your baby. I finally got a bassinet for my second baby and I’m so happy I did. My first hated the car seat and the seat on the stroller was for a ~6 month old or bigger. We had the Chicco keyfit car seat with a Chicco bravo stroller. Now we have the same car seat w an adapter for an UB Vista and an UB bassinet.

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 

If you get a Chico bravo stroller, you will be able to click your car seat into the base stroller. And when your son outgrows it, it can convert into a regular upright stroller with several different recline options. I’ve been using ours with my 28mo old since birth in various configurations! You can also get one used, since you already have the car seat for it, which will make it a lot cheaper.
