Maybe $80? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/travel-system-stroller-vs-infant-car-seat-carrier-stroller#post-41918 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 12:55:16 +0000 Mrs. Bee 41918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MegWag: yikes at that cost it isn't worth it! i paid around $60, but could have easily bought one used for around $25. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/travel-system-stroller-vs-infant-car-seat-carrier-stroller#post-41914 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 12:52:24 +0000 lemondrop 41914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: We have it all put together and have taken a couple of dry runs with it getting the dog used to walking with a stroller- but have yet to try it with the actual baby since we are still waiting on him to arrive ;) Any day now.... any day...</p> <p>We just figured since the carseat fits right into the stroller, that it would be equal to a snap and go, and since we will eventually need a full sized stroller anyway- why not save money and space!? It folds up to a manageable size too- smaller than our swing. I wish I could easily post a photo of it right now sitting folded in the nursery. </p> <p>My husband's co-worker has one and loves it, as well as a few friends of my SIL and also a family we ran into at Ikea- so far only fantastic reviews. We got the Jeep Liberty model btw. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/travel-system-stroller-vs-infant-car-seat-carrier-stroller#post-41910 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 12:49:02 +0000 MegWag 41910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: I'd be all for it if it only cost $100, but with the current exchange rate it costs about $300! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/travel-system-stroller-vs-infant-car-seat-carrier-stroller#post-41904 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 12:42:33 +0000 Mrsbells 41904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: I am really interested in a jeep stroller, how do you like yours? Maybe I should start a new thread </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/travel-system-stroller-vs-infant-car-seat-carrier-stroller#post-41903 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 12:41:33 +0000 Mrs. Bee 41903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we used the snap and go and loved it, and then sold it and recouped half the cost, so it was totally worth it.</p> <p>some people are really happy with their travel systems. but getting a snap and go lets you figure out exactly what your stroller needs are before you make a huge investment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/travel-system-stroller-vs-infant-car-seat-carrier-stroller#post-41901 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 12:40:53 +0000 MegWag 41901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@venice4504: I was just thinking the same thing. I just checked on the stroller frame that Mama Yoyo posted about and it costs over £200 here! I get doing the frame thing to save money, but I just don't see how it would. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/travel-system-stroller-vs-infant-car-seat-carrier-stroller#post-41900 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 12:37:00 +0000 venice4504 41900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most strollers will have car seat adapters (little metal things) that let you click the seat into whatever stroller you really want. Personally I don't like the snap &amp; go's because it's $100 you're spending on something that has a short life and that $100 you can put towards a stroller that you can use even after they grow out of the infant car seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/travel-system-stroller-vs-infant-car-seat-carrier-stroller#post-41875 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 11:56:11 +0000 lemondrop 41875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the same price of a travel system, we registered for the carseat and base that we wanted (Chicco Key Fit), along with the stroller (Jeep) that my husband absolutely had to have. </p> <p>I looked them up in Baby Bargains to check what was compatible and highly rated, and decided to do our own thing. The cloth doesn't match 100%, but I really don't care about that- we are trying to go as minimal as possible with all of the baby gear. Our house is small and we already feel overtaken. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/travel-system-stroller-vs-infant-car-seat-carrier-stroller#post-41873 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 11:49:42 +0000 DpeachLu 41873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is there really a necessity to purchase/register for a complete travel system stroller like this one:<br /> <a href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3980773&#038;fromRegistryNumber=47713329&#038;product_skn=174804" rel="nofollow">http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3980773&#038;fromRegistryNumber=47713329&#038;product_skn=174804</a></p> <p>or can we just live with registering for a car seat thats compatible with this:<br /> <a href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11820851&#038;fromRegistryNumber=47713329&#038;product_skn=530412#showReviews" rel="nofollow">http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11820851&#038;fromRegistryNumber=47713329&#038;product_skn=530412#showReviews</a></p> <p>&amp; just using that? What is the difference?! </p>
