Chicco - Bravo Sport Travel System

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

We got the Chicco Bravo 3-in-1 Trio Travel System, Bravo Quick-Fold Stroller with KeyFit 30 Infant Car Seat and Base. About to use it within the next week or so! Was easy to put together and had great reviews on consumer reports and elsewhere. Family and friends highly recommended a travel system so that’s what we went with.

This is the way. We have the Chicco Viaro (jogging style stroller) and I love it for walks but it is quite long and difficult to maneuver in many stores or crowded spaces. It is a dream to walk on sidewalks, streets, and even in grass or in gravel. It never gets stuck on uneven pavement. My parents have a Chicco Bravo and it is great for smaller spaces like stores but does sometimes get stuck on uneven ground! If I had to choose again I’d probably go for the Bravo just because it’s a little smaller.

one set of gparents bought the chicco bravo travel set (we used that stroller a lot but the wheels are worn down now), another grandparent bought a jogger stroller for my bf to run with my kid, and we bought a cheap small foldable stroller for quick outings…a lot of money in strollers but we use them all fairly often 😅🤷🏻‍♀️

We also decided on the Chico Bravo. The keyfit carseat that comes with it scored high on safety ratings, and it was very affordable compared to other brands.

We did a Chico stroller and car seat combo for our first. Taking the car seat out of the car and dropping it right into the stroller was great. We took that thing everywhere, even thru airports, on planes, Disney, etc. used it for our 3 other kids as well and now it’s sitting in my garage shelf 9 years later. When we had #2 the UBs had come out and we went to test drive them..the 1x1 configuration made it so hard to turn we ended up getting a citi-mini double. Also have taken that to Disney, and Europe, and still have it. We did end up getting a UB Umbrella for when we didn’t need the double and for easier portability. Still got that one too! Yeah the UB is the BMW of strollers, but you might end up wanting / needing another stroller depending on your needs anyway, so save some coin and use it for diapers!

I could not stomach the price tag of some of the popular brands. We used Chicco keyfit car seats so went all chicco strollers. We got the bravo system for our first, then when our second arrived we got the Cortina double for them both and the keyfit caddy for a minimal car seat only stroller. My favorite is the keyfit caddy. It’s light and maneuverable. Super easy. The cortina is a beast, so pretty annoying, but necessary if you have two. The bravo was a great city stroller with only one.

I spent months agonizing over a stroller and concluded there is no perfect stroller that's both fairly light and also good on rough terrain and has a bassinet option and that you don't have to buy a million add-ons for. When are you due? I'm due in January and at first I really wanted the bassinet option too but realized realistically it wouldn't get a ton of use, I'm not going to be taking him for long walks in the winter and mall walking will probably be limited until he gets his vaccinations, I'll probably do more baby wearing when he's little. So, I gave up the bassinet thing. If money is no object for you, I hear great things about the Uppababy strollers. For me, I ended up picking a Chicco bravo travel system and I'll probably also end up getting a heavier jogging stroller second hand later that I can use on rougher terrain and maybe a light umbrella stroller. I think most parents end up with more than one stroller. Check and see if there are any stores near you that you can try out strollers -- some Targets and Nordstroms do, and some specialty baby stores

Depends how your going to be using your stroller. If your going to be walking/jogging down that dirt road regularly or be in rural areas a lot, your gonna want some sort of jogger stroller or something with inflatable wheels. If your going to keep it in your vehicle and use it for when your going shopping in the city, going out to eat, and use it for an urban sort of lifestyle, with tad bits of times you walk the stroller on gravel, grass, etc, maybe a good all terrain full stroller with good suspension like Uppababy Cruz, Nuna Mixx Next, Bugaboo Fox 5. If you want something more budget friendly in this category maybe the Chicco Corso or Bravo stroller,Graco Modes Nest 2 grow. Jogger strollers include BabyJogger city mini gt, Thule Urban Glide, Guava Roam, Uppababy Ridge, etc. A carseat is 100% necessary, so no matter what, that should be the 1st thing you look at. Find 1 you like, then look at what strollers its compatible with (usually you might have to buy a separate adapter if you use a different brand of carseat from the stroller). You can always look at what strollers already come as part of a bundled travel system with that carseat. But before you even get started looking at carseats, you need to make a decision ifbyour going to use an Infant Carseat (pill bug looking seats), or a convertible carseat (the big ones that stay in a vehicle), or both.

I found mine for free on the side of the road lol. It's not like a car seat you have to buy me, second hand is great! It's a Chicco bravo that lets you put the infant car seat in and I highly recommend that feature. We use it everywhere, took it through the airport, etc. love it. Roomy enough for stuff under the seat and has cupholders (critical) I do wish I had a jogging stroller but never quite bit the bullet knowing it would get infrequent use
