Cougar 1

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 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 run with a Chariot Cougar 1 (and have for almost 8 years/two kids). It's an amazing running stroller. I'm currently training for a half while pushing my 4.5 year old. It's so smooth. Definitely not a daily driver. I don't know anyone that actually runs that uses their jogger as their daily driver.

3 total with a 13 month old: - Bumbleride Indie All-terrain/Jogging stroller (our everyday) - Summer 3DMini Umbrella Stroller (our travel stroller) - MEC Bike Chariot (can be used as a jogging stroller but we only ever use it on our bike)

What a good question. For me, lying flat/newborn compatibility, and the amount of space it took up in the car trumped all other factors in the end. We had a secondhand baby jogger and it was just TOO BIG. Carseat compatibility is like negative important in my mind, and totally irrelevant if you have a lie-flat stroller or bassinet. My kiddo basically stopped wanting to be in a stroller as soon as she could walk at 10 months so now the stroller is a glorified bag/luggage cart and I'm so happy I didn't get sucked into snack trays, reversible seats, suspension, baskets, wheels. We ended up with an Ergobaby Metro+. I will add we also have Thule Chariot single that we use walking in the snow and on the ice. I was hellbent on being a one stroller household but I don't mind this because it's also for biking and will outlive our stroller by a lot. But unless you really live in the country I don't think it's a reasonable sole stroller.

Thule chariot with infant insert! I baby wore the first 3 months of my baby's life but now feel comfortable for my baby and toddler to ride next to each other I got mine off marketplace 

I LOVE my thule chariot for our lifestyle.  We are outdoorsy people and go on flat nature trails or paved paths all the time. I couldn't lift it until 3 months PP to get it in and out of the trunk because its a little heavy but it is SO nice. Great for snow on the ground or gravel. Can be used as a bike chariot or stroller. The infant sling is an additional $100 Price is up there but I got it for $500 off marketplace.   It takes up a big portion of our mini van trunk. I couldn't imagine using it for errands because it is pretty wide.

We have a chariot, and it's been amazing. If you haven't considered it look into it. We have a chariot and the cousins have a wagon. We do a lot more walking from home and less driving to. The wagon is way better to trunk but the chariot is way better to push. Our 3yo gives us an easy 1km of pushing before she gets tired.

My chariot, pre Thule model, full kit and my, carbon fibre 'giant' hard tail, with think slicks were, $100, $300, $150, respectfully, and between March and October I put about 100km a week on them. $1500 has to be brand new and high end. High quialty and especially high quality kiddo stuff can be found for cheap. I've been handing down all things as in the end it's less stress for me. Best of luck in your search.

I found one on marketplace and offered/accepted $100. I read that the partner doesn't want to buy used but they're pretty much buy it for life. Where I would not trust a used stroller and would be iffy about a wagon. I have the bike, the jogger wheel and the stroller wheels and they all get used.
