I'm finding myself completely overwhelmed when it comes to strollers, carseats and travel systems. I read the top 10 reccommended strollers and none of them are in my price range, except for the Chicco which I am considering. Here's my major dilemma, is it worth it to buy a whole travel system or am I better off buying an infant seat and a snap and go base until the baby is big enough for a regular stroller? From the reviews that I've been reading, the babies outgrow many of the strollers that come with the mid-price range travel systems fairly quickly. What I'd like to find is something that will grow with my baby, be reasonably priced, lightweight and a little fashionable. Help!!!!
