Personally I think it's nuts to drop a grand on a stroller that they'll only use for a year but that's just me. If you have the means and desire then obviously go for it but don't feel like you have to spend that much if it's not in your budget.
A Graco car seat/stroller set is like $400. The one thing I was willing to pay extra for was that ability to unclick the car seat from the base and into the stroller without having to take the baby out. My second hated the stroller so I just strapped her to my chest in an adjustable carrier that was like $100? I like those much more than pushing a stroller anyways. Then once they got too big for that the kids now go in a pair of these that cost a whopping $40 each and take up zero room in the car.
