strollers and car seats are definitely a matter of personal preference...I found that it was better for me to "build" my own travel system because I didn't like the same carseat brand as stroller brand...I used a snap 'n go type stroller for the infant carseat (I chose the britax companion - there are both pros and cons to this carseat) and have had a peg perego and a chicco stroller for a larger stroller. I also have a padded umbrella type stroller, but I actually prefer the bigger stroller with a food tray. Just another option - mix and match...
