Ronit,
Welcome to the list.  I have a 16 month old daughter, and have found many of 
these posts helpful.  It's nice to meet you.
I've never used that brand of stroler, but I did use a backpack carrier. 
You can either carry them in front or behind you.  I've heard they help in 
the bonding process, and also if you plan to nurse.  They can usually hold 
kids up to 30 pounds.
I have a big stroler, but when my daughter got a little bigger, I also used 
an umbrella stroler.  These can collapse smaller, and are light weight. 
They're very good for convenience.  I hope this helps.
    Nikki
