What strollers are you planning on using and why?
I am debating on the city select or the uppababy vista. I had the vista with my first and thought we would take advantage of the ability to add more seats but there is now a 5 year gap between the two. We had to toss our stroller last year after it was hit by a car. I loved the vista, the ride, the storage. Just not sure if it is worth the price now that this will probably be our last child.
We're going with the City Select because I like that it's a single width double stroller for twins and it's highly recommended among twin parents. The UppaBaby looks great as well, but with everything we have to get multiplied x2, I can't justify the higher price (though my MIL probably wouldn't care).
We have a graco, part of our travel system. That said, we didn't get much use out of it with DS1 and I don't foresee us using it much this time around. I babywear way too much
We have the Britax B-Agile which was part of our travel system. I like it and we get a good amount of use of it since DS is a big guy and wearing him got too hard on my back by the time he was a year.
I am keeping my eyes open for a double stroller since DS won't quite be 2 by the time Baby2.0 arrives. I'm mostly just looking for either an amazing deal or something at a consignment shop.

I have a baby jogger city mini gt and love it. It has adapters for our Britax car seat which I used a lot when she was in the infant seat. I also used it for walks since it has rubber wheels not plastic which was a big selling point for me. I won't be using a double stroller bc dd never sits in hers anymore for more than 5 min and then wants to walk.
I was just thinking about strollers today. I feel like I won't really use it much and hadn't planned on getting one. Then I found out that my sister still has the used Bugaboo from my cousin that she didn't end up using (they bought a new Uppababy) so I'll probably take it just to have it in case. Although for the price of the car seat I want (Cybex Aton) and is compatible plus the adapter I can buy a while Cybex travel system for just an extra $50. I need to find it which Bugaboo model it is - if it is more of an all terrain rather than just urban style it could be more useful.

We bought a Joovy Ultralight Caboose. It was one of the better rated sit and stands and is also one of the lightest. DD wil be 3 1/2 when baby boy is born so we figured we wanted the option for her to ride if she wants. We have a Britax B-Agile from DD so we might use that sometimes, too. I like the way the stroller handles but I found the material difficult to clean.
I should add that the reason I babywear so much and don't use the stroller is because DS1 HATES being in a stroller. He also refuses to go in the cart at the store so I don't have much of an option..

hpnegirl, DD has always hated the stroller, too. If we could get her to sit in the stroller for 5 minutes, it was a miracle. She's not a fan of carts either. Now at 3, if I'm grocery shopping with her by myself I can only get her to sit in the cart for 10-15 minutes if I give her something to watch on my phone, which I hate doing but it's survival.

We have the BOB revolution jogging stroller. DS really only likes the stroller when we go on runs nowadays. We plan on getting a double BOB. Personally I think getting both a regular stroller and a jogger is a waste of money since we primary use the stroller when we run and don't take it anywhere except maybe town events and such just to store stuff like our waters and diaper bag. We baby wore for the most part and now let DS run around or when we go shopping we plop him in the shopping cart. For new baby I plan on baby wearing him/her and putting DS in the cart/stroller/whatever until we buy a double stroller. I think we will wait til new baby is around 4-5 months before purchasing a double since it's expensive and we need to save up the money first. Unless the money just falls on our laps or something.

Pretty much all of this. The BOB is great for just about everything except crowded stores/malls so I would either babywear then, or we had a small umbrella stroller that the car seat clicked into that got a ton of use when DS was small. We use it less frequently now, but it definitely comes in handy with travel. I plan to get a double BOB after this baby is born so I can take both kids on runs/walks but for crowded I think I will wear the baby and push DS in the stroller and/or just let him walk.
We have a BG city mini we've used since DD1. Hopefully DH didn't toss the infant seat adapter like he did after DD1. I'll wear DD3 most often and DD2 has limited interest in getting in a stroller.
I may look into getting a used chariot cougar or burley for more outdoorsy stuff...biking, etc next summer when this LO starts to get big enough

I got the new 4moms moxi stroller - put it together a few days ago just to make sure I liked it and it seems like it's going to be way better than the huge bulky one I had with my son

This is our plan—just get the jogging stroller and baby wear otherwise. I considered getting the frame too to just stick the carseat in, but the jogging one can do that too and we're really trying to minimize big stuff (that we'll just have to move next year).
