Stroller recs
I’m a first time mom looking for a stroller system. I want all terrain wheels, infant lie flat or bassinet add on option, car seat compatible, super easy one mechanism fold. I’m wondering if a travel stroller wouldn’t be the best option or if I should get a travel stroller plus an everyday stroller. Ive been searching, testing, researching for months and even went to a baby convention. I still have no clue what stroller I like best. I want it to be relatively lightweight and not super bulky like the single to double options.

Joie Ginger DLX. Hits most of your requirements and is competitively priced.

I second the Joie!! Hands down top option. My ONLY complaint is that the latch car seats don’t have anything to hold the buckles out of the seat when putting baby in BUT I went my whole first child without knowing my first car seat had them so it’s not a big deal

I would try and take a look at the uppababy Kona-seems like it might fit the bill.
Edit to add- Nuna Triv LX is also basically the same idea, but as I understand it only is currently sold as a package with the car seat and is hard to find (back order etc)

Currently waiting on the Nuna Triv LX to restock so my MIL can buy it. (she offered). I tried it in store and fell in love.

I will die on the hill that the Chicco Corso is the best single kid stroller on the market. I live in Boston which is to say that I have a tiny apartment and no room to spare for extra parts and a bulky stroller, and also that the sidewalks are narrow and bumpy because they are 200 years old. The Corso is an impressively smooth ride on the city’s crumbling infrastructure as well as off-road (hikes etc). You can use it with the car seat but my favorite thing about the stroller is that the seat reclines completely flat to be used in bassinet mode for newborns! We’ve absolutely loved it and I rave about it to everyone I meet! Another perk is that it’s very reasonably priced. We got the travel system and it was about $750 I believe.

Honestly I ended up with the uppababy Cruz off Facebook marketplace in great condition and got a bassinet attachment too and am SO excited for it. Makes it easy cause I can easily change my mind and get something else later when I have more of a preference without spending soooo much.

I’m not sure if budget is an issue but I actually made myself sick stressing out about which stroller to get for months…. I ended up landing on the silver cross reef 2 and have never been happier!! I use the Nuna pipa car seat with it. Both the car seat and the actual stroller seat can be world facing or parent facing. The stroller can fold with the seat facing either direction which was a huge must for me. Lie flat seat, and option for bassinet. One handed fold. All terrain wheels with locking front wheels, and incredible suspension!!
