I still have to do research on this but one of my bff's has the Bob (revolution?) and I think my sil has it too and they both rave about it. My sil just had her second lo (so she has a 2yr old and 4month old right now) so I am going to pick her brain about whether she would make the same choice again now that she has 2 kids in strollers.
Everytime I have used my bff's I have noticed right off the bat how much smoother it was than the ones my sister had over the years (4kids) also I am tall(and DH even more so) and I noticed how much more comfortable it was for me to use.
I'm also interested in the Quinny and Uppababy but need to find a store where I can touch it for myself.

We made an impulse buy for the Stokke Xplory. ;)

Pros: 1. It sits up high, "supposedly" the only stroller available where you can make direct eye to eye contact. My biggest turn-off with all the other strollers, such as the Bugaboo was that they really sit low, eyeing people's knees, legs and easily reachable to random, enthusiastic dogs.

2. When going out to restaurants/cafes, it can also function as a high-chair (instead of having to use the restaurant's) and pushed against the table.

3. Reviews often cite great customer service from the company.

Cons: 1.  Folds up really bulky and would be a problem if you have a tiny trunk.

2. Not meant to be taken out to the forest. Cities and city parks are fine, but not difficult terrain.

Jady - I suggest going to BuyBuy Baby in Brandon if it's close to you.  They have a HUGE stroller selection and the staff is amazing!!!!  They will tell you the pros and cons of each one. 

Rina - The Strokke is pretty cool!  DH was very unimpressed with the Bugaboo's, you are right they are super low!  He couldn't believe that it cost around $1,000!

I'm also looking at Uppababy but I'm also looking at the Britax B-Ready. My only issue with the uppababy is the car seat. I love strollers that you can take the carseat out (usually with a sleeping baby in it) and attach it right onto the stroller. Does the Uppababy vista have that capability? That's SUPER important to me! Our first travel system was....oopsss..can't remember! LOL! It's folded up in the garage somewhere but I'm definitely getting a new one, no matter what DH says. LOL!

BTW...I might be crazy but I am in LOVE with the Orbitz baby G2 travel systems! The rotation/swiveling action is AMAZING! I'm just trying to see if I'm willing to drop $900 on the system! (((OUCH)))

Pamel-you can do that with the uppa baby!!!  It acts like a snap and go.  You get hte carseat adapter for your carseat and it goes on the uppa baby in place of the seat or the bassinet!  That's one thing that sold my husband and I because the car seat will go on it without an extra seat underneat it.

This is the graco adapter on it!

We saw the Orbitz thing at the store - it was CRAZY!

Jenn, is it crazy "awesome" or crazy "what?"?

Kinda both!!! Both DH and I were like wow it's cool but how do you use it lol!

I think I am leaning towards the BOB. A couple of my friends LOVE theirs. I need to test drive one soon!
