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.

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
- Thule Chariot 2 bike stroller/also a hiking stroller
- Valco Duo Snap for side by side stroller
- GB pockit that's a bit wonky so lives at grandparents as a spare
- Babyzen Yoyo got as second hand travel stroller I am planning to use mainly for my new one
- All purpose wagon that never intended to be a stroller but they all pile in
Ha! So many.
1. Bumbleride Indie - great all-purpose stroller for walks, jogs, snowy terrain, etc.
2. Mountain Buggy Nano - work horse travel stroller that can technically fit in most overhead bins (though we usually gate check it). Was nice to have when the kids were very small because it can lay flat. Terrible for snow and sand, but survived uneven paving, cobblestones, some mud, etc. I currently use this as a casual every day stroller and leave it in the back of my car.
3. Thule double chariot - for walks and jogs with both kids, especially useful in the winter because the large wheels are good in snow.
4. Summer Infant 3D Lite - bought this on a vacation that we were confident we could do without a stroller.
5. Cheap Red Kite umbrella stroller - another situation where I thought we could get by with a stroller for the big kid and a carrier for the baby, but gave up and bought the cheapest stroller we could find locally.
If I could do it again, I'd get one nice jogging stroller (worth it for the maneuverability in rough terrain even if you don't plan on jogging) and then a cheaper, probably second hand umbrella stroller for casual use and short outings.

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