A year or 2 ago I sold my Graco Literider and bought a Chicco Cortina. At the time, I mostly loved it 
It seemed a bit long, but it was so easy to use and Sofi's head didn't hit the tray when we went over bumps (that's why I sold the 3pt harness Literider). It had a huge basket that fit the big diaper bag and everything
Next I bought an Evenflo umbrella stroller. I loved that. It had cup holders for me and a "stuff" holder too (keys, phone, etc). It was much easier to use than the Cortina.
Then BabyS came along and I bought a Snugrider. It was great for her SS1. I also have my own SS1 for my next baby (whenever that may be).
Then BabyS was getting too big for me to always carry in the SS1. I stopped using the SnugRider and started using the Cortina. I've been thinking it's so big in my trunk, and so heavy to lift in and out of the van. But I still loved the big basket, parent tray and child tray. BabyS can't use the Evenflo umbrella stroller because it's a 3pt and she leans forward, looks like she's trying to fall out
So, I bought a Graco Mosaic on swap It's smaller than the Cortina. It has a 5pt harness if I need for BabyS, but she does well since it has a bar in front of her. It can also hold the SS1, so I wonder if this is the only stroller I need It has a small basket, but the diaper bag (backpack) goes on the handles and other small stuff in the basket.
I now have 3 strollers sitting in my hall closet (storage area). Should I sell the Cortina? Should I sell the Snugrider (I bought it at a consignment shop, so I could even recoup the entire cost)? If I sell, it'll be on CL
Is it better to keep the Cortina for places like farms (in the fall), boardwalk at the beach, state fair? Or will the Mosaic work just as well there? I plan to go to the farm this week, while NannyFamily is away on vacation, so I won't be testing out the Mosaic there with BabyS.
