Graco MetroLite Travel System —
As a petite new mama, I am definitely a fan of our Metrolite travel system. We tried out a lot of strollers in the store before we chose one, and this one was my favorite by far. The stroller itself is great--easy for me to manage, folds up nicely, smooth ride and feels lightweight when you're pushing it.
The car seat clips into it (and the car base) very easily and is pretty easy to get back out (though baby weight is obviously a factor, too!) It is a bit heavy for my taste, but I have yet to find a truly lightweight baby car seat.
I love the colors and patterns (we have Berkshire which is super cute) but I wish they were consistent with the other stroller styles and other Graco items. We wanted to get a matching play yard and swing, but they didn't come in the same style. We also wanted to get a stroller in Deco, but it only came in the Quattro, not the Metrolite. (The Quattro was way too heavy for me!) All in all, though, we're fans!
