I have a P3, and DD (17 mos) LOVES it. She has sat in it for over 2 hours at the zoo!

I saw the Zippy for the first time yesterday. I was impressed with it. It does seem more solid than the P3, and the fold was super easy. The P3 is easy for me to fold too though.

If I had to chose again today.... I think would stick w/ the P3, because I thought the seat was much more plush, and the seat back sits straight up where the Zippy leans back a bit. I think DD really likes being able to sit straight up. I like the P3 floating harness too.

HTH!

do a search and you'll find some other posts on the subject. I have a Zippy and love it- definitely find it more solid than a P3, though the toddler step is slightly thinner. the one handed fold is so worth it. Some love the floating harness, others hate it, so it's a matter of personal preference there.

I don't think you can go wrong with C1, Zippy or P3, though I don't know enough about the Cortina to comment on that one.

Yeah, the Cortina is the "odd man out" in your list. The other three are full featured umbrellas, and are similar in style and features. The Cortina has a big basket, single bar handle, and a "book fold."

P3. We considered the Zippy & Cortina as well but the P3 won and I love it! Dh kicked the Zippy.

yes - I know it's the one that's "not like the others", but it comes as a travel system with the chicco keyfit, which I really want. I was hoping that someone had experience with and loved the cortina, because that would make everything sooo easy!

I have macs and MBs from my earlier children, but I kind of want an in-between stroller - probably don't have a real "need" for anything else.

thanks for the input.

FYI-You can buy the Chicco keyfit car seat separate from the stroller. ;)

right, but not in that pretty green that BRU carries.
My other choice would be the red keyfit - which I cannot find online in the 30 - and the C1 stroller in the coordinating red.

I know - it's crazy - I'm obsessed - I am not in denial!
