I need to get to a store to figure out what I want for a stroller. Looking at the urban jungle mountain buggy. Anyone else have this or looking at it? I need something that I can take nicely on lots of soccer fields, hills, and other randomly terrained places.

I purchased a graco click connect 35. I was dead set on getting the Britax B safe but when I went to check it out in the store, I decided it was too heavy. I would have just gotten the Graco click connect 30 (because yes, you don't need that extra 5 pounds at all) but I wanted it in red. I also recommend Car Seats for the Littles. There are a few carseats on the market that don't fit average size newborns as the harness slots are higher than their shoulders. Mostly stay away from baby trend and the Graco 22 lb carseat. Unless you have really really long babies. And even then have a backup plan for if it doesn't fit properly.
We're also getting a Cybex Aton Q. It goes with the stroller that I want and gets amazing reviews. I think it depends on your price point. All car seats pass regulations when installed properly and are safe. It's also fairly light and seems like something my chicken arms could carry.
I'm getting a Jane Trider Extreme stroller. I saw one at the store and test drove it and loved it. It folds up amazingly small, which is a huge selling point for me.
I have no other children so I am just rocking with the amount of research I've done at this point and our price range.
I know they all pass the same regulations, but there's a huge difference in my $40 seat & my $240+ seat. They're both convertibles but...there's not much similarity in construction or comfort or ease of use.
I like the looks of the Jane Trider Extreme! It looks like the seat stays on for the fold? I've got an old Bugaboo but taking the seat off to fold it is a pain. What store did you try it out in? There aren't many high end stores near me
I'm not saying there isn't ultimately a difference, I'm just saying that there are people who cannot afford or choose not to own a $300 car seat, so it's contingent on price point what they should likely be looking at. We're also getting the same carseat as you, if you see in my original post. I work in auto insurance, so a carseat is a big deal to me.
The Jane stroller is AMAZING! It does fold down with the seat on it, which I absolutely love. We found one at "Kids Stuff," but before that I had never even laid eyes on one. We also liked the uppababy and Orbit, but neither fold as small as I would otherwise hope!
We had the Britax B-Safe infant car seat and will use it again. It snapped into both our BOB and Britax B-Agile, so it worked out really well for us. DS was really tiny, so we kept him in that for almost a year.
Now he's in the Britax Pavilion car seat, which is a great seat. I want to get a Diono Radian though, since it takes up less room and now we'll have two car seats in the back seat.
