[quote=Anonymous]If you're going to leave the stroller outside lock it up like a bike. My friend had her stroller stolen from her porch and then one time when she was driving through another neighborhood she saw it outside someone's house and took it back, lol. But don't count on this happening.

I liked having the bucket option for carseats. We would carry it into daycare, use it in restaurants and church, etc. I just had a less expensive Graco bucket seat (you can buy a base that you leave permanently installed though it can be used without a base as well) and a simple folding stroller (I think it's the snugrider). Of course, this stage only lasts a few months so your mileage may vary.

For carrying the babies I used a traditional wrap for the newborn stage and an Ergo when they got a big older (facing me).

For walking around town I had a Mutsy, which is a European brand, and then later I got a Mountain Buggy that could take two kids. I also had a BOB for jogging. And for zoo visits and stuff I had a Joovy Sit and Stand, which my kids LOVED.

Your safest bet is probably just buying an Uppababy or similar system, especially if it can convert to a double later. I never felt like I needed to spend the money on Uppababy (I preferred to spread the money out over more specialized strollers) but I'd definitely consider it if you want one stroller to rule them all.

You mentioned the set up inside the house. We had a pack n play set up on the first floor so we could put the baby down. I think swings are generally not considered to be safe so you want something completely flat. A pack n play is pretty necessary if you're going to be traveling places without cribs anyway.[/quote]
