I've used our snugride for two babies and definitely think it's a great purchase for city living if you decide to go the infant carseat route! my first used it til 10 months! The stroller frame is great too for the city. I made sure to get it for the 2nd baby and it's been put to really good use the past 5 months.</p> <p>ETA: is your baby going to be a winter baby? If so, just know that the snugride has no fitted rain cover/wind protector. I bought a used one from Maxi Cosi and it fits perfectly. UppaBaby also makes a cabana that would fit it too. Definitely a must in cold weather! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-or-other-city-moms-wout-cars-which-car-seat#post-28661 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 13:12:40 +0000 mrsjazz 28661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NYCaliMama: @LivsMama: I just looked up the Graco Snug Ride on Babies R Us and they have a sale on the Snug car seat stroller when you buy the car seat. And it's top-rated on Baby Bargains, so I think I may go with this one for now.</p> <p>Thanks, everyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-or-other-city-moms-wout-cars-which-car-seat#post-28637 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 12:42:47 +0000 Clementine 28637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ Mrs. Bee, does the Combi Cocoro seat work for newborns too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-or-other-city-moms-wout-cars-which-car-seat#post-28620 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 12:28:35 +0000 LivsMama 28620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would also say the combi coccoro or the Graco Snugride. I live in NYC but do have a car-however when we fly, we take the Snugride with us as its very easy to install in a car without a base so we dont have to travel with it (yes it is safe and yes it is designed to do that. I took a course from The Car Seat Lady and was shocked, but the instructions are right in there.) </p> <p>That being said, I only suggested the combi coccoro bc the Car Seat Lady here in NYC suggested it to us as an alternative, but we'd already purchased the snugride</p> <p>To note - the snugride can be pretty heavy. Not sure what the coccoro weighs </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-or-other-city-moms-wout-cars-which-car-seat#post-28342 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 23:30:06 +0000 SAHM0811 28342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use the Graco snugride infant carseat in cabs (without the base).. And with the coordinating snap n go stroller which is easy to pop in the trunk since it's so light.</p> <p>When my first DD outgrew that at 10 months, we got the Sit n Stroll, which is basically a toddler carseat on wheels. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-or-other-city-moms-wout-cars-which-car-seat#post-27207 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 20:46:34 +0000 Mrs. Bee 27207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>the combi coccoro. we zipcar a lot and don't have a car either. this is a lightweight convertible car seat and very easy to install.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Combi-Cocorro-Lightweight-Convertible-Licorice/dp/B00261RQYY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1322963135&#038;sr=8-1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Combi-Cocorro-Lightweight-Convertible-Licorice/dp/B00261RQYY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1322963135&#038;sr=8-1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-or-other-city-moms-wout-cars-which-car-seat#post-27161 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 19:54:48 +0000 Rosie Girl 27161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say just a regular infant car seat. You can take the base in and out really easy and then the car seat just snaps in. </p> <p>When I traveled to Las Vegas with DS when he was an infant, I took my car seat and it worked out great. The car seat I had with DS was similar to this:</p> <p><a href="http://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&#038;hl=en&#038;sa=N&#038;biw=1680&#038;bih=935&#038;tbm=isch&#038;tbnid=vaK_z5d4Dh2aCM:&#038;imgrefurl=http://www.findmycarseat.com/evenflo-car-seats/&#038;docid=bCnxD1eg-Gkz7M&#038;imgurl=http://www.findmycarseat.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/51azi2bgjstl__sl500_aa280_.jpg&#038;w=280&#038;h=280&#038;ei=ecTaTtbfNO7QiAKhzs2_BA&#038;zoom=1&#038;iact=hc&#038;vpx=339&#038;vpy=260&#038;dur=1394&#038;hovh=224&#038;hovw=224&#038;tx=122&#038;ty=106&#038;sig=107513957535671582848&#038;page=1&#038;tbnh=138&#038;tbnw=138&#038;start=0&#038;ndsp=38&#038;ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&#038;hl=en&#038;sa=N&#038;biw=1680&#038;bih=935&#038;tbm=isch&#038;tbnid=vaK_z5d4Dh2aCM:&#038;imgrefurl=http://www.findmycarseat.com/evenflo-car-seats/&#038;docid=bCnxD1eg-Gkz7M&#038;imgurl=http://www.findmycarseat.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/51azi2bgjstl__sl500_aa280_.jpg&#038;w=280&#038;h=280&#038;ei=ecTaTtbfNO7QiAKhzs2_BA&#038;zoom=1&#038;iact=hc&#038;vpx=339&#038;vpy=260&#038;dur=1394&#038;hovh=224&#038;hovw=224&#038;tx=122&#038;ty=106&#038;sig=107513957535671582848&#038;page=1&#038;tbnh=138&#038;tbnw=138&#038;start=0&#038;ndsp=38&#038;ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-or-other-city-moms-wout-cars-which-car-seat#post-27147 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 19:25:51 +0000 heffalump 27147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm also interested in hearing these answers. We have a car, but I'll be traveling to NY and don't know what we're going to do for a car seat while we're there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-or-other-city-moms-wout-cars-which-car-seat#post-26910 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 10:28:06 +0000 mrsjazz 26910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm trying to figure out what car seat to put on my registry. We take public transportation, but we're also Zip Car members for the times we do need a car. And of course, we cab it sometimes.</p> <p>We're not planning on buying a car anytime soon, does anyone have a recommendation for a car seat that won't be used that often and won't be used in the same type of vehicle? </p>
