we have two a jogger and a small upgraded version of the umbrella stroller. But the jogger is one of the two things that I saved from Trayton. We love the jogger for outdoors stuff and walking all around town, the actual tire wheels keep it from getting tore up on the roads. Lance plans to start running with her pretty soon. However the joggers are very hard to steer. the front wheel doesn't move. Joggers are a must have if you are outdoordsy IMO.

for aiport and the rare trip to the mall we got the upgraded version of the umbrella stroller. To be honest I haven't used it yet b/c she is so small that I have just done the baby carrier in the airports. I picked one that folded up easy and small, also I wanted one with a small turning radius.

With Trayton I had the stroller/carseat combo one, and to be honest I didn't like it, it was too bulky for me and hard to get into tight places with.

Also look into a good backpack. As soon as Trayton was old enough that is where he was most of the time. We spend alot on it, b/c poor dad did need some comfort. (this is the second thing that I saved!) but we used it when we went to places with a large crowd. They love being up and looking around and you aren't try to push a stroller through waves of people.

One of the coaches for Traytons basketball legue is total Mr Mom. he had to bring the younger kids to practice and the tottler was always up in the backpack while dad was coaching. It was so cute, you could tell he loved being a part of the action, and kept him out of trouble.
