Best Travel System stroller?

I want a stroller but I get mixed reviews on each. I need something solid and something where the baby could possibly face me, perhaps by Graco? And neutral, or something girly. I looked at the system MetroLite Graco Travel - Cherry Blossom and Graco Alano Travel System - Zoe. Any comments on those either? All suggestions help!

you get mixed reviews throughout - something great for you may not work at all for me and you may need more than 1 stroller .....( i have 3 and use them all for different things) for me the MetroLite provides little or no safety in the only way you can have the baby facing you in a stroller graco is to use the stroller with seat Self - attach the car seat to stroller (it's easier than sounds, very quick, safe, secure) so it will graco be a trip - then you can choose how long to make you face - up to 22 pounds or 30 pounds - SnugRide (22 lbs) vs safe seat (30 lbs), you may also consider a more universal stroller system travel - it can be used with any Carseat - the Kolcraft Universal 2 is very nice, very light, can be folded and unfolded 1 hand (for moms dads .... which is likely to have issues - are not as advertised 1 hand fold), it has a parent tray small, and quite adequate storage basket under the seat do not worry so much a matter of impression or pattern - There are many more important things on a stroller to worry about, such as flat reclining seat or not - important for infants and babies that does not sit up yet - a bonus for the tilt flat is that you can also change your baby in the stroller, a much cleaner option than public tables changing (I carry a can of Lysol l for these emergencies only) the volume of the storage basket under the seat and the ease of use if you're walking exclusive, have car or public transport use in cities, the weight of the stroller folded, the size of the pushchair folded and handling a folded stroller - the graco i have, you can not move using the wheels when folded - The brake is activated when folded - my universal you can have the brake on or off when folded - ideal for moving while keeping the baby / car seat, diaper bag, bags provisions, etc. How long you going to use the stroller - they have weight limits and very importantly - parent tray / organizer and cupholders - sounds like a Luxury, in fact, a necessity - car keys, cell phone, water bottle (for the first year, you will not leave your bottle to sit in the stroller cupholders ... How long do you want to pick up the bottle of the soil, and give you the same again after your baby feel on most public Size ????) umbrellas and rotation (180, 90), Peek a boo window are 2 minor things are very important to me - a check on the baby and babies are very sensitive to bright light and a large multi-position canopy is very important to me we have a visit Graco Quattro Deluxe Travel System with safety seat - it is very nice, comfortable (for Mom and baby) stroller. It is also very heavy and difficult to fit in the trunk of my car - so that races around (many in town and out of the car) I still use the universal, and only stroller for trips out of town, walking through the neighborhood, or 1 or 2 stops when out - 3 or more than just stop or 1 stop faster and I use the universal. If cost is a factor (it was for us) try Sears - my local store had The Quattro Tour Deluxe on Closeout for $ 90 - regularly $ 240 - then I do not give one iota about the model, but it is a nice chocolate brown with tawny marks / beige print - the universal i made on craigslist for $ 15 graco has 2 new prints girly that I know of - a pretty purple flower Babies R Us, and a rose also, not sure where you can find - go to gracobaby.com - but keep in mind that for lighter prints: Landau and car become dirty pretty easily (even with us OCD types) - covers car seat are easy to remove and wash ...... Strollers are a different story - you need a screwdriver, a lot of patience time and instruction booklet is very helpful - not to mention the drying time for coverage - using the stroller with car seat - you'll want to keep Scottish stroller first - or get a darker or neutral print baby - spit up a lot and toddlers can be very messy - and a stroller is something you will use for at least 2 years - (my stroller is 3rd in size from a umbrella, square, a canopy and a tiny tiny box under the seat - but is great when doing laundry and hanging clothes on the line, clean or wash the car and it was very cheap - bought in a thrift store - took apart to Clean / wash seat, large brand new looks and works to take the baby home with me to clean)
