Conundrum 3: Strolling

Things have been progressing along nicely in Vulture's room! We have the crib set up, the dresser purchased and a plan to refinish the existing dresser into a changing table that his/her vertically challenged mother can use without straining her back (the new dresser is a bit high, which was my original plan). Sidebar: Ruth, did Mike share with you that he's planning on your help in June with the refinishing? Speak now if you'd prefer to stay away from that mess, I know I am ;) We have also purchased a car seat, the chicco keyfit 30, due to many glowing recommendations, to aid our new vehicle search. Now for strollers...

Our original plan was to get a running stroller that could function as our ONLY stroller via conversion kits for the car seat. But after a visit to the Capistrants and a trip to the bike store, it became apparent that the right choice is to buy a bike chariot that converts into a running stroller - two birds, one baby-mama-exercising  apparatus!
 
This one has two seats, one for Vulture, one for Sven!
So now the question is: what is the best stroller for day-to-day use? I'd like something fairly compact that I can bust about stores on a shopping spree, but also something with storage so I can haul my goods from the farmer's market home. 1, 2, 3 GO!

  2. And take the Burley to the market. Just imagine how many cheese curds could fit in there!

  3. We have a Chicco umbrella style stroller and it's really nice for the not-taking-up-too-much-room thing, and reclines really far back for when they're super little - Alex could go in there pretty young, which was handy. Also folds up easily to throw in the car. We also had a baby trend snap and go that the car seat just fit right in, good for transferring baby from car to strolling while napping! Love our burley too!!
