Here was my starting point based on what I've observed around the city and knowledge of friends' strollers.
I've been making a concerted effort to check out the many strollers I see people pushing around town as a starting point for my research. Thus far, here are what seem to be the top contenders.

| The Bob |
 |
| Jeep Brand jogger |
 |
| The City Mini |
 |
| The City Select (Owned by numerous friends of mine) |
We went it Isis Parenting today and were able to compare strollers side by side. I opened and closed the Bob and the Baby Jogger Summit and wheeled them around. I was sold on the Summit (first choice) or the City Elite both by Baby Jogger. I found the Bob harder to close and the floor model had some issues from so much usage, but I expect we too will get a lot of usage out of our stroller.
I feel so relieved to have one more major item decision under our belt. There's so much stuff when it comes to babies!! Wow!
Feel free to weigh in with your thoughts and experiences with any of these strollers or other great options you may know of!

Jess! First time around, we got the Jeep Overland jogger and a Maclaren umbrella stroller. Now with #2, we need a double stroller. My advice? Don't buy the big expensive one unless it converts to a double (if you're thinking more than one kid). We have the Jeep Overland that we'll be selling cheap in a few months, if you want it. And we just got the Baby Jogger Summit XC Double off craigslist. At least in Cville, joggers are easy to come by on CL...but high-end name brands are harder to find (in good condition and worth the price).
Consignment and craigslist have helped has helped us so much with keeping things in budget.
I *love* my Baby Jogger City Elite. I would recommend it in a heartbeat.
We LOVE our Baby Jogger City Elite. You can try it out at Cabin Weekend if you can hold out on purchasing that long!!! <3
We have a Bob stroller for running/walking outside and an Uppa Baby G-Luxe umbrella stroller for shopping, etc. I love both and am so happy with them! I first only had the Bob, but had a hard time manuevering it through stores and other places, so that's why we ended up getting the umbrella stroller as well.
