I think the snap n go would work fine, but I prefer the Ergo, especially with an older child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bus-stop-logistics-with-infant#post-2847479 Wed, 26 Sep 2018 15:46:43 +0000 Mama Bird 2847479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Either carrier, or avoiding the bus at all costs :silly: The drivers around here will force you to hold the baby and fold the stroller even when the bus is empty. I still can't figure out how you're supposed to do that with only two hands, while getting yelled at by the driver. </p> <p>Extra bonus points for drivers who want the stroller folded before you even get on the bus. Like, where am I supposed to put the baby while I'm folding it? On the ground? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bus-stop-logistics-with-infant#post-2847453 Wed, 26 Sep 2018 14:14:54 +0000 MsMini 2847453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a similar walk to the bus stop. I usually put baby in the stroller for the walk, I toss the backpack in the stroller cargo area and head off. I guess I could babywear but my baby is pretty happy to play with toys, look around, and my oldest likes to hold her hand in the stroller, especially when he hasn’t seen her all day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bus-stop-logistics-with-infant#post-2847446 Wed, 26 Sep 2018 13:58:02 +0000 MrsSRS 2847446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can't you just drop the seat on the Britax so it's reclined? And maybe get a nice muff-the bunting kind that lets you still buckle baby in. I'd baby wear, but my kids' dad would not. . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bus-stop-logistics-with-infant#post-2847268 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 14:48:55 +0000 birdofafeather 2847268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 3 to walk for drop off and pick up at school. I do a combo of babywearing and stroller depending on the day, if she’s about to go to sleep, etc. I would not just carry the baby in my arms that far. DD1 always needs help for something and I need a free hand or two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bus-stop-logistics-with-infant#post-2847224 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 12:49:43 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2847224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stroller. I never loved Baby wearing and our stroller accommodated infants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bus-stop-logistics-with-infant#post-2847220 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 12:40:56 +0000 jape14 2847220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: my kids were both mostly too big for the bassinet attachment on the stroller not long after 3 months, so that seems like a pretty short-term solution. one of my kids also hated the bucket seat so I'd personally wait and see and let your husband figure it out once you know your baby's preferences. and echoing others above, my husband wore my kids longer than I did - we have a beco gemini which he loved and ended up being the expert on (he taught me and our nanny how to maneuver it). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bus-stop-logistics-with-infant#post-2847216 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 12:24:43 +0000 periwinklebee 2847216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: My LO loves his carseat attached to the stroller via adapter, even now that he's 8 months. So I'm sure that could work well...We never tried a bassinet as I was trying to minimize on gear... but he was a reflux baby who loved the more inclined position of the car seat anyways... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bus-stop-logistics-with-infant#post-2847207 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 11:56:05 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2847207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Out school parking is insane so we park in a parking lot and walk. I leave the baby in the car seat because we’ve already driven there and he’s usually sleeping by then. You might have to wait and see what the baby likes best. This one isn’t super into the bassinet but sleeps like a dream in the car seat or carrier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bus-stop-logistics-with-infant#post-2847198 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 11:06:22 +0000 MrsBucky 2847198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: you may have him try it! My husband was super hesitant about baby wearing but he ended up wearing our son longer than I did! But anyway, I think a bassinet is also a great option too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bus-stop-logistics-with-infant#post-2847197 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 11:03:48 +0000 mediagirl 2847197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's going to be my husband after 3 months and I'm not sure how comfortable he is going to be with baby wearing without help getting things on and off (he's a big guy and not very limber). </p> <p>I was thinking of getting a used bassinet attachment for our stroller that we could put the baby into for walks around the neighborhood and for the bus stop walks. It would make it easier on him after I'm back at work... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bus-stop-logistics-with-infant#post-2847196 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 10:58:06 +0000 MrsBucky 2847196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’d babywear also until the infant was big enough for a non car seat stroller (maybe 3-4 months?) but I tend to have small infants so baby wearing is easy for the first few months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bus-stop-logistics-with-infant#post-2847186 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 10:40:20 +0000 KT326 2847186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our preschool was half a mile away so on mat leave I would use the ergo if he needed to nap or the stroller if he was awake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bus-stop-logistics-with-infant#post-2847185 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 10:39:56 +0000 Mrsbells 2847185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Depends how heavy the infant is. Stroller is easier if the baby is heavier. If not then baby wearing </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bus-stop-logistics-with-infant#post-2847183 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 10:39:19 +0000 snowjewelz 2847183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love babywearing so I always choose that first :happy: But I feel like you can't go wrong; change it up depending! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bus-stop-logistics-with-infant#post-2847179 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 10:36:20 +0000 periwinklebee 2847179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For that distance, I would baby wear, unless weather conditions somehow made it unsuitable. It's actually great for rain, as you can just use an umbrella... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bus-stop-logistics-with-infant#post-2847171 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 10:21:23 +0000 Becky 2847171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like it depends on the day, but either stroller or baby wearing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bus-stop-logistics-with-infant#post-2847164 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 09:55:12 +0000 bhbee 2847164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We walk my 1st grader to school about quarter to half a mile. I have to take all 3 kids so I use the car seat snapped into our city mini, and 3yo walks. It’s easy because I already have the car seat in the house usually. She likes the solly carrier also but it’s still hot and humid here, plus it takes me an extra minute I don’t always have!</p> <p>ETA I probably couldn’t use a snap n go because I’m not sure I could steer it one handed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bus-stop-logistics-with-infant#post-2847162 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 09:51:32 +0000 erinbaderin 2847162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree, babywear, weather permitting. Otherwise I’d go with whatever seems the most comfortable - maybe not a car seat, but a stroller seat reclined or with a bassinet snapped in (is that an option with any of them?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bus-stop-logistics-with-infant#post-2847159 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 09:47:54 +0000 crazydoglady 2847159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would probably babywear to keep my hands free. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bus-stop-logistics-with-infant#post-2847157 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 09:43:39 +0000 mediagirl 2847157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Say you have a child in school and an infant. Twice a day you have to get to the bus stop with the smallest child and you walk - it's about 1/4 mile to the bus stop. </p> <p>What would your preferred method of transportation for the infant be? </p> <p>Car seat in stroller? Bassinet of some sort? Just carry the baby? Something else?</p> <p>We already have 3 strollers - a Britax B-Agile , umbrella stroller and Chicco keyfit snap n go (our new to us infant carseat is a Chicco) </p>
