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.
Thule, for sure.
I've been using a Cougar 1 for 7 years, and also had a Cougar 2 when I was able to push both my kids. I'm the third owner of the Cougar 1 and it still pushes like a dream. So smooth, so easy to maneuver, comfortable for my son, and not heavy. I've trained for multiple half marathons with it, and pushed it in five or six races of various distances.
Thule Chariot, hands down. I had a Cougar 1 and a Cougar 2. I'm still using the Cougar 1 with my 4 year old. Pushes like a dream, and all the weather covers are built in. I love the mesh cover because it prevents toddlers from throwing all their crap out and making you stop 47 times to collect it.

First baby we bought a quality travel stroller that we could use our carseat with because our car was tiny — Mountain Buggy Nano. It was gifted to us, but these are easy to find secondhand.
Second baby we added a double stroller/bike trailer to the mix with a secondhand Thule Cougar 2 (I think the new version is a Cross?). Aside from needing a double, we also wanted something that was better at pushing through snow.
Third baby I decided I wanted a fancy stroller and found a practically new Quinny Hubb. Biggest draw was the giant basket, versatility for seating and having an add-on second seat for toddlers. It’s also really good in the snow.
I use the Quinny and the Nano regularly depending on the situation. The Chariot hasn’t had any use in a while, though. Harder to fold, harder to clean, a bit wide for doorways. The older kids just walk or bike.
I had a single for my first and now have an amazing double Thule chariot for the two of them. There was a lot of cheaper second hand stuff on fb market place. I did not plan ahead in that one, and we got the double stroller once we had two kids.
A 5.5 yr and 4 yr old with one more on the way.
- City Select with 2 seats is my full stroller/all terrain
