Comfy Cruiser Travel System

4 in total, with two children. I don't drive and we walk daily, in all weather. I had a Graco Comfy Cruiser as my daily driver. Less than $200 and it was an absolute workhorse. I used it for over 6 years, between the two kids. Huge basket was perfect for grocery shopping. We also had a Joovy Caboose, for the short period of time when my older child was not a reliable distance walker, and needed a place to rest. And then two running strollers - a Chariot Cougar 1 and Cougar 2 (single and double versions of the same stroller). My youngest is 4 and we are still using the Cougar 1 for runs together.

I have a Graco Sullivan travel system and I love it. The car seat is included and snaps into the stroller. There is also a separate attachment for a bassinet style that turns into a seat for a toddler. All of it is reversible and adjustable, and super easy to use.

I was handed down the graco snug something and its been good to us. Clicks easily, folds easily. Stroller drives fine, carseat just sits there. I have to say, my biggest complaint is the compartment that looks like it could fit my keys does not fit my phone. But is that even a thing to be concerned with? Idk.

Travel system is incredible for first 6-8 months, but quickly loses utility once they weigh a fair bit. Carrying them inside the seat prebuckled becomes heavy enough (even before the seat weight limit) that it doesn't feel worth it anymore. The other thing is .. get one that allows the stroller to ALSO be used without the bucket seat. That way you can just .. leave the car seat in the car if you don't feel like transferring it anymore, until they outgrow it. We have graco snugride, and the stroll can be used with the car seat or it has its own seat and buckle built in. Zero complaints about stroller or seat quality, even for longer journeys. We still use the stroller by itself for 2.5 year old, and the car seat part of the system is in the closet waiting for 2nd kid to pop out.

We purchased the graco snugride travel system, comes with the infant car seat that attaches to the stroller and the infant pram that converts into a toddler stroller. We got a good deal on rebelstork so spent only about half price of what you’d see at say target. I initially was going to go with a convertible car seat option as well but after lots of research I learned that if your newborn is on the smaller side they just simply aren’t as safe, our girl is measuring smaller so that was important to us. She’s not here yet, only a few more days hopefully. But so far we’ve been very happy with the easy set up and install of the system.

We started with a Graco travel system, bought an umbrella stroller for indoors, found that both didnt turn well on slick floor inside stores. Bought a bugaboo lynx and got rid of both of the others. Our lynx comes in and out of the house since it turns much better than our cheap umbrella stroller did. It doesn't fold super small so you need decent trunk space but it's pretty lightweight so easy to pop in and out.

3, but now 2. One evenflo travel system which I sold then bought graco travel system then bought uppababy vista because baby (at 5 months) hated bassinet but couldn’t do full recline. I also wish I just went right to uppababy.
