[quote=Anonymous]I lived in the city with kid#1 and made do with a soft structured carrier and just one stroller at a time.

For the first 4 months, we used a hand me down snap n go that could take the car seat. This was great because baby would nap in it while I could go out to lunches, etc during maternity leave.
Later, we switched to the City Mini GT which I liked for its tough tires and one handed fold. In fact it is so tough it even lasted me through kid 2. The only thing I didn't like about it was the storage basket, but it wasn't a deal breaker.
For metro use we mostly used a soft structured carrier. Some people get one for newborns and switch to another later on, but we opted for the Boba 4g which could work with infants and toddlers. It works as a back carrier once baby is too heavy for the front. I didn't have a ginormous baby so this was around a year of age.
When kid was 2+ we used the City Mini GT for the metro as well. Its one handed fold made it easy to pick it up in one hand and hold toddler with the other hand if the elevators were out.
My kid is now 8 so there may be better products out there that serve the purpose.

I recommend carving time to exercise separate from baby. It will obviate the need for a huge jogging stroller and you will appreciate the break.[/quote]
