We've ordered a car seat & stroller!

I know I posted earlier about both infant car seats and strollers, but it took a while for us to actually make up our minds! Papa Bean and I visited Buy Buy Baby today so that we could check out the stroller options. We wanted to look at the strollers that can be used with the Peg Perego infant car seat that we like. 

Papa Bean did not like the 4-wheeled Peg Perego strollers and he thought the stylish UPPAbaby strollers were not worth the extra price. Unfortunately, the Peg Perego car seat was not compatible with the Phil & Ted's stroller that we had seen around town in Bethesda. And the store had no BOB strollers on the floor for us to look at. But we did find several Baby Jogger models that we liked! 

The Baby Jogger City Mini is small and light -- 24" across and less than 17 pounds -- but it features plastic wheels and we weren't sure how they would handle cracked sidewalks and challenging terrain that make up the streets around town and in Bethesda. Also, it only holds children up to 50 pounds. 

The Baby Jogger City Classic is also narrow but a little heavier -- 24" across and 21 pounds -- but it has more durable rubber wheels. Also, it can accommodate children up to 75 pounds. 

The Baby Jogger City Elite is the biggest and heaviest -- 26" across and 25 pounds -- but it comes in some very stylish colors. 

In the end, we decided to go for this handsome chocolate and cream combo -- The Baby Jogger City Classic stroller in brown/stone with the Peg Perego infant car seat in matching moka! Love it! The stroller is both stylish and not too heavy. Perfect! Plus, this color combo will look great with pink and green blankets and accessories...
