If our BBB's weren't practically next to each other, I would've tried it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-free-ride-event-3/page/2#post-886967 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 17:43:11 +0000 LaineysMom 886967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCB: I forgot about this! I had them price match our radian.. Duh! </p> <p>@MrsCastro: An hour is far.. I'd call and ask them if Bed Bath and Beyond will accept returns. If I was you, I'd probably just order off Amazon, but I LOVE BBB. I had to exchange our swing and video monitor due to defects and it was SO EASY! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-free-ride-event-3/page/2#post-886962 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 17:38:17 +0000 MrsCastro 886962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCB: @LaineysMom: i think we are going to go with Amazon, only reason being the nearest BBB to us is over an hour away...unless i could just return at Bed Bath and Beyond??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-free-ride-event-3/page/2#post-886955 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 17:34:58 +0000 T.H.O.U. 886955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got ours from amazon during a free ride event and were still able to use ritax customer service with no issues. We lied our chaperone and used it until she was about 10 months old. It never seemed that much heavier to me then other seats I would consider. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-free-ride-event-3/page/2#post-886948 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 17:31:42 +0000 ShootingStar 886948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCastro: @LaineysMom: You can have BBB price match Amazon. That's we did, since it was cheaper than using a coupon. And we didn't want to have to deal with returning such a heavy item to Amazon if there was any issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-free-ride-event-3/page/2#post-886946 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 17:30:29 +0000 LaineysMom 886946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCastro: haha, no prob. $25 is still significant, so I would consider Amazon.. But I love BBB. They're like my insurance against defective products! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-free-ride-event-3/page/2#post-886941 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 17:26:43 +0000 MrsCastro 886941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LaineysMom: OMG, yes you are right...sorry i forgot to do the math with the discount...prego brain...sorry... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-free-ride-event-3/page/2#post-886936 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 17:20:29 +0000 LaineysMom 886936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCastro: No, $25.. Don't you get BBB coupons? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-free-ride-event-3/page/2#post-886919 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 17:08:56 +0000 MrsCastro 886919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LaineysMom: more like a 125 difference... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-free-ride-event-3#post-886875 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 16:39:05 +0000 LaineysMom 886875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah.. I can barely carry her when I'm alone.. The carseat is heavy and huge. 20 lb carseat + 18 lb baby + diaper bag.. Haha. You get the picture. But I do like how safe it is.. I really do believe it is the safest infant seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-free-ride-event-3#post-886871 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 16:36:45 +0000 LaineysMom 886871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, a $25 difference (you can use a 20% off coupon). For me it was worth it, bc if anything goes wrong BBB will take it back no issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-free-ride-event-3#post-886862 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 16:33:07 +0000 MrsCastro 886862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LaineysMom: oh my good to know...i just looked at the weight of the BSafe 16lbs and the Chaperone 20lbs...seems like a big differnce when caring a baby...</p> <p>i also checked the pricing at BBB and it was 499 there vs 374 on amazon... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-free-ride-event-3#post-886819 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 16:16:10 +0000 LaineysMom 886819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCastro: yeah, that's the only reason why we did it last year.. Initially I was looking at the b agile or city mini, but decided on the b ready when we could get our choice carseat free! Have you gone in store and practiced carrying the chaperone? I would suggest doing that and bringing a 10 pound sack of rice.. That car seat is heavy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-free-ride-event-3#post-886811 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 16:13:01 +0000 MrsCastro 886811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LaineysMom: i am totally bummed they arent doing the chaperone this year...that is the carseat we were eyeing... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-free-ride-event-3#post-886807 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 16:12:35 +0000 LaineysMom 886807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Btw, the chaperone is really heavy.. So be forewarned.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-free-ride-event-3#post-886806 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 16:11:45 +0000 LaineysMom 886806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCastro: we did this last year and we got the b ready and chaperone for $400 at buy buy baby. They let us use the 20% off coupon. We later bought the bassinet bc I wanted her to sleep in our room for a little while.. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-free-ride-event-3#post-886788 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 16:03:40 +0000 runsyellowlites 886788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCastro: I think I saw the 2012 event ran in July... and 2011 had one in March. Maybe I can just wear the newbie until the next event! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-free-ride-event-3#post-886778 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 16:01:38 +0000 MrsCastro 886778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: it seems like they usually run during June... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-free-ride-event-3#post-886694 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 15:28:34 +0000 runsyellowlites 886694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Man I wish I would've known I needed this sooner! lol. I think the B ready for our double would be the best option... but we just paid for G's church camp so extra funds are diminished until next month! boo</p> <p>I wonder if by chance they'd have another one by next March?! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-free-ride-event-3#post-886500 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 14:25:36 +0000 MrsCastro 886500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i am going to talk with DH before i pull the trigger...but i think i will be a happy owner of a Britax....thank you ladies...</p> <p>@Rescuemom10: i currently drive a honda civic but have plans to upgrade to a honda pilot or acura mdx before baby comes... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-free-ride-event-3#post-886480 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 14:18:50 +0000 MsLipGloss 886480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCastro: We also got the B-Ready (in Twilight) and the Chaperone (in Cowmooflage!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-free-ride-event-3#post-886464 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 14:14:37 +0000 Rescuemom10 886464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did this last year and got the B-Ready and the B-safe. The Chaperone would not fit in my car. I drive a Honda Insight. So its a smaller car and I needed the smaller carseat. I love them. So, so glad I have them. I stinking LOVE the B-Ready. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-free-ride-event-3#post-886451 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 14:09:38 +0000 ShootingStar 886451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCastro: I had a whole thread on in a few weeks ago. I think it's helpful if you walk places or will be going on lots of walks with a young baby. But we always drive and DS will be born in November. So not much walking around outside. You could also use it for the bassinet function in your room, but we already have a rock n play, which I like better than the bassinet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-free-ride-event-3#post-886438 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 14:06:31 +0000 ShootingStar 886438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: Well, you might still have a problem with him fitting in the car. Once DH installs the base in his car, I will pretty much never ride in it, and if I do it'll have to be in the backseat. My car will be the family car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-free-ride-event-3#post-886435 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 14:06:25 +0000 Mrs. J 886435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCastro: You could always do the B-Ready and the second seat or the bassinet and purchase the Chaperone separately. We did the B-Ready and the B-Safe, both in red, but through Amazon. It was only $379 on Amazon!</p> <p>Edit: I see your thoughts on the bassinet now, lol. oops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-free-ride-event-3#post-886419 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 14:04:09 +0000 MrsCastro 886419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCB: ya i dont see a need for a bassinet... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-free-ride-event-3#post-886412 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 14:02:45 +0000 ShootingStar 886412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCastro: Yeah, we were really annoyed too, and I was wishing the same thing. They used to do both carseats in the sale. I almost called and complained. But then that sounded silly, "Hi I'm mad because I don't want the free car seat you're offering, I want a different free car seat, because the one I want is cuter..." </p> <p>We ended up getting the 2nd seat because we plan to have 2 kids close together. I wasn't super thrilled about it, but DH wasn't budging on the chaperone, and I'm sure we have no use for the bassinet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-free-ride-event-3#post-886404 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 14:01:51 +0000 MrsCastro 886404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: and now that is the one i know i for sure want...now i just have to figure out if the "free ride" event even makes sence for us...since i really wanted the b-ready and chaperone. but only the b safe is included in the free ride event...bummer :sad: </p>
