DH has a hybrid with a small back seat and found that the Cybex Aton was one of the only seats that worked in his car. BBB is great with taking seats out to your car and trying them out for fit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-safe-vs-chicco-keyfit#post-1563159 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 12:51:52 +0000 petunia354 1563159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: O slept like a champ in the B-Safe all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-safe-vs-chicco-keyfit#post-1563147 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 12:47:27 +0000 sorrycharlie 1563147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBeluga: awww! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-safe-vs-chicco-keyfit#post-1563146 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 12:47:02 +0000 sorrycharlie 1563146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rattles: I have the single adapter for my city mini single..I loved it. but I've heard the adapter for the double stroller is completely different. do you have the double? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-safe-vs-chicco-keyfit#post-1563145 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 12:46:56 +0000 avivoca 1563145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sharpie: I have a Nissan Versa.

LO sleeps just fine in the carseat. And the lack of plushiness doesn't bother me. If anything, maybe it keeps her a little cooler in the carseat? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-safe-vs-chicco-keyfit#post-1562769 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 11:08:45 +0000 MrsKoala 1562769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: N falls asleep every time he is in the B-Safe, whether in the stroller or in the car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-safe-vs-chicco-keyfit#post-1562747 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 11:02:28 +0000 sunshineandsushi 1562747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: yep! trays are great, they keep the boys in when we don't buckle them in. they like to lean against the trays. </p> <p>boys would sleep just fine in the b safes. only thing i noticed (maybe because i live in florida) is they would get a little hot in them. but that could be the case in any car seat, not just the b safe, especially in florida </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-safe-vs-chicco-keyfit#post-1562542 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 10:15:31 +0000 Mrsjets 1562542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would choose the stroller first and then get the seat that works with it. IMO the stroller will be used so much longer so that's the big decision.</p> <p>FWIW I have the contours options double (maxi cosi seat) and it's good but I would urge you to test it before buying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-safe-vs-chicco-keyfit#post-1562523 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 10:11:32 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1562523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No experience with the Keyfit, but we have the B-safe/B-Agile combo and LOVE it. LO is still totally comfy in the B-safe at 8 months, and it fits really well in any car we've tried it in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-safe-vs-chicco-keyfit#post-1562506 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 10:08:58 +0000 avivoca 1562506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my personal situation, I would have to go with the B-Safe. The Keyfit (and any other Chicco seat besides the booster) does not fit in my car. I wasn't impressed with what I saw in the store either. We ended up going for a Graco, but I think with #2 I want to get a B-safe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-safe-vs-chicco-keyfit#post-1562496 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 10:06:09 +0000 mrsjyw 1562496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: i was starting to get excited about a bfp! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-safe-vs-chicco-keyfit#post-1562491 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 10:05:09 +0000 sorrycharlie 1562491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>those of you that used the b-safe.. this is going to sound so first world and dumb, but did your babies sleep ok in there? I know it can depend on the child as opposed to the carseat..but O slept pretty well in the keyfit (cushy and comfy?). I know babywear and bla bla bla..but let's be real, sometimes the carseat into the stroller is easier. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-safe-vs-chicco-keyfit#post-1562486 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 10:03:54 +0000 sorrycharlie 1562486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunshineandsushi: ooh thank you!! did you purchase the trays to use? I have a stroller "organizer" already I can attach to the handle (phew).

I didn't think I could be as into a stroller/car seat as I am but I'd recommend the travel system to anyone. It's so easy to put together, it's ridiculous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-safe-vs-chicco-keyfit#post-1559432 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 12:32:42 +0000 Littlebit 1559432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm probably going to be purchasing the b-agile travel system with the b-safe, and I'm so relieved to be reading these responses :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-safe-vs-chicco-keyfit#post-1559381 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 12:12:53 +0000 sunshineandsushi 1559381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: We had the B-Safe and currently have the B Agile Double stroller. LOVE both. Although, never used the B-Safes with the B Agile Double because I couldn't dock two infant seats at the same time on it (the joys of twins). I went back and forth between a Citi Mini Double and a B Agile Double. I definitely do not regret my decision. Plus, it's even cheaper off Amazon than at BuyBuy Baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-safe-vs-chicco-keyfit#post-1559378 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 12:12:36 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1559378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: This new ranking has them both in the "best" category: </p> <p><a href="http://carseatblog.com/26915/the-safest-infant-carseats-new-crash-protection-ratings-and-methods-from-consumer-reports/" rel="nofollow">http://carseatblog.com/26915/the-safest-infant-carseats-new-crash-protection-ratings-and-methods-from-consumer-reports/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-safe-vs-chicco-keyfit#post-1559375 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 12:11:24 +0000 petunia354 1559375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved our B-Safe and B-Agile!! It was SO super easy and convenient to be able to click the seat into the Agile. The B-Safe doesn't have crazy thick padding but we trusted it when we took our 4 pounder home and he was nice and snug in there. Just wanted to add my $.02 :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-safe-vs-chicco-keyfit#post-1559366 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 12:09:02 +0000 septca 1559366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the B-Safe because we knew we wanted a Britax stroller (we have the B-Ready). It is SOOOOO convenient to have a car seat than snaps in and out without having to have a converter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-safe-vs-chicco-keyfit#post-1559363 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 12:07:29 +0000 sorrycharlie 1559363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: yea, the car seat we had I just gave to my cousin :) it expires before we will be able to use it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-safe-vs-chicco-keyfit#post-1559295 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 11:56:02 +0000 tororojo 1559295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got the B-Safe because I knew I wanted a B-Agile. It's still in perfect condition for LO#2, which to me is a huge bonus. (But maybe you just need a new one because of age, not use?) I have heard that the Keyfit is easier to adjust, and the B-Safe can be annoying in that respect, but not enough to make me nix it as a choice. It's super easy to pop into a Britax stroller, and I like the way it snaps in on the sides, as opposed to the big bar that some strollers use to hold an infant car seat- that's great for the transitional time when you sometimes want to use it with a car seat and sometimes not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-safe-vs-chicco-keyfit#post-1559277 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 11:54:34 +0000 ShootingStar 1559277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CupQuakeWalk: Ha, we felt the same way.
