We use a cheap umbrella stroller if we are doing something quick. We have a huge travel system stroller (takes up my hole trunk) that we use if we are going to be doing a lot of walking or going out for the day. It's nice because it has cup holders and I can put stuff underneath.
I wish I looked into better strollers while I was pregnant instead of just picking the travel system. I didn't realize how bulky it was until it was to late.
I use the Bob Revolution most days. I love that thing. I got it when he was around 6 months intending to use it to jog. That never happened, but I sold the City Select I was using for more than I spent on the Bob, so it's all good.
We also have a City Mini bc H wanted it (he asked for it for Hannukah from his mom. I asked for a gift card to the wine store). I really don't like it and want to get an umbrella stroller instead. I used it today bc we went to a restaurant and it drives me nuts.
What do you use as your main stroller? Britax B-Agile. Still a fan of it, although I wish I had something with air-filled tires for better shock absorption.
Do you have other strollers? Just bought a cheapie First Years umbrella stroller for some air travel this summer. Since we're TTC, I didn't want to invest in something before I know what my needs will be. I have commitment issues, too, lol. Can't decide on purchases!
Are you still using the stroller you picked out while pregnant? Yes. I love that it's not a bulky travel system but was compatible with our Britax infant seat.
We still use the snap n go as we are still in the infant seats. It is so easy when going to the grocery store.
Main stroller is mountain buggy jogging stroller, its awesome.
Umbrella stroller is some kind of maclaren, seems great though we only recently started using it. This will be used all the time as soon as the snap n go is no longer in use.
while the mountain buggy takes up a ton of space, the maclaren is very compact.
I never picked out any strollers, both were given to us used (i mean, they seem practically new) and the snap n go was a shower gift. Wow that snap n go has gotten a lot of use. Well worth $50

What do you use as your main stroller? Maclaren Triumph
Do you have other strollers? Yes, we have a jogging stroller but it doesn't fold up compact enough to fit in my car so we only use it in the neighborhood or if we go with DH to play golf.
Are you still using the stroller you picked out while pregnant? I didn't pick out the stroller we have. I registered for one at Wal-mart, but a friend found the Maclaren on a super duper deal and got it for us instead. She has 4 kids and raved about the stroller, so I assumed I'd love it. I returned the other stroller that we received as a gift. I don't regret this decision at all.

I had stroller jealousy the other day at the Zoo. There were so many fancy and amazing strollers. I am still using the Graco Travel system that came with my infant seat.
I am in the market now for an umbrella stroller, because that thing is just too heavy to lug around all the time anymore.
I did have the strap n go, when Lou was still in the infant seat too, but now i'm thinking of selling it.
I'm pretty happy with our B-Agile. It was the product of lots of research while I was preg. Now that she's getting bigger it's fitting her better. She is so short, she can only just now reach the child tray.
We also have a cheapie umbrella stroller that we haven't used yet.
If I could buy another stroller I think it would be a Maclaren or one of the Chicco liteways.

Do you have other strollers? Nope
Are you still using the stroller you picked out while pregnant? Yes, it works fine for me. The small compartment drives me nuts, though. If I used the stroller everyday and/or walked everywhere as my main form of transportation I would be looking for something else.
I have an Orbit (single with a kickboard for when they are a bit bigger. I will probably end up buying a second kick board and have both of them stand while my stuff is in the seat.) and a Bumbleride Indie Twin. Both are awesome.
I use both pretty often. The Orbit when I don't want the hassle of the double, or when we are going to a restaurant. I use it with an Ergo. The seat can face front, back and side so it can scoot up to a table really easily. I use it and one high chair.
When we go on our nightly grocery store runs, we have started using a Radioflyer wagon. The boys love it!
When I was pregnant, I wanted the Bugaboo donkey and the Bumbleride. I'm glad I didnt get the Donkey. Not only is it almost 2k, it sucks in the snow and I can't run with it. I'm not paying that for a stroller I can only use during 6 months of the year.
Our main one is the Britax B-Ready. We also bought a cheapie umbrella and I hate it and have to bend to push the thing. I am in the market for a nice umbrella stroller.
What do you use as your main stroller? It depends on the activity, but usually now my main stroller is the Maclaren Quest.
Do you have other strollers? Yes. I have the travel system (Chicco), Jogging stroller, Joovy sit and stand and one Maclaren Triumph and one Maclaren Quest.
Are you still using the stroller you picked out while pregnant? When I had DS1 I got the travel system. I am still using the same stroller but replaced the car seat. I got the Triumph and jogging stroller with him. Then I got the sit and stand with DS2 and sold the jogging stroller. Then with DS3 I got the Quest and re-bought the jogging stroller.
We have the City Mini, got it at the baby shower so we've had it all this time! I looove it, the only crappy thing is the basket is kind of small if you're shopping there's not anywhere to store your bags. But it is so easy to fold and unfold and lightweight I love it. We had the attachment for the car seat when she was little.
We've used our Stokke Xplory since DD was born. Love that stroller- worth every penny. We are now using the Uppababy G-luxe for more of my quick errands. When we take longer walks, I use the Xplory simply because its sturdy and super comfortable.

We use a Jeep stroller for serious trips or walks. We had a snap'n go for when he was in the infant seat, and his infant seat fit on the Jeep stroller if we needed extra cargo space. I'm still thinking about getting and umbrella stroller. We'll see. I like the Jeep stroller though.
We have an older bob revolution my boss gave it to us as a hand me down it was in perfect condition. We use it several times a week and I have never jogged with it but lots of long walks
First stroller was the Graco Travel system. Second stroller arrived when I was pregnant with DD, it was the City Select. I tried umbrella strollers and I don't like them at all, too low for me to use.

We use the city mini double. I have a single still from DS, but no need for it right now. It's what I got when she was born and I like it. It's not the best- would have loved to afford something a bit more like the city select, but it gets the job done and is easy to use. I can still push it with one hand so it's really easy with 2.
