19w6d

I cannot believe it, I will be 20 weeks tomorrow. I never thought I would reach this point. I remember when I first moved to SAIF and saw people at 20 weeks I thought it would be forever until I got there. I am so grateful to be here, so incredibly grateful, and my little man always reminds me of how lucky I am. Actually, he is giving me little kicks while I am typing this, it is just amazing and unbelievable. So along with all of this amazement comes confusion because now I am have navigate baby world. Parenting? That will be easy but try choosing a stroller! We went to babies r us yesterday and before we went I was pretty sure about what I wanted, when we left I was so confused. I think we have it narrowed down to the peg perego pliko p3 and the chicco courtina. If I could find a stroller that had the best of both I would get it in a second but here are my pro's and con's... you tell me what you think.

Peg Perego Pliko P3
- Super comfy and sturdy seat
- Big sun shade (could practically cover the whole stroller)
- Umbrella stroller - folds up pretty compactly
- Not a one hand fold - kind of complicated actually and opening is the same way
- Can attach car seat
- Decent size basket
- Kind of hard to get to basket because of folding mechanism
- Snack bar but does not lift up
- Seat fully reclines
- Adjustable handles
- 2 handles instead of a bar - can't push with one hand
- one crappy cup holder

Chicco Courtina
- Seat/fabric not quite as comfy
- Very small sun shade - would need to buy something else
- Bigger when folded
- Easy one hand fold and open
- Can attach car seat
- Decent size basket
- Easy to get to basket
- Snack bar that can be lifted to easily get bigger baby in and out
- Seat fully reclines
- Adjustable handle
- One handle bar - can push with 1 hand
- Decent cup holder and other compartment for keys, etc.

These are the things that we took note of. Is there anything that I missed that is important? Which items are most important? Which would you choose? Ignore price... Oh and both have car seats that fit up to 30 lbs.
