Now that she's older, I bought a used Bumbleride Flyer to replace the snap-n-go, and I've also got a BOB. Our car is small, so we factored that in to our stroller decision. I traditional travel system would take up all the room in our hatch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-system-work-best-for-you/page/2#post-1587146 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 17:56:33 +0000 gingerbebe 1587146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: We're going for the Uppababy Cruz with the UP Mesa seat because it seems to combine the convenience of a snap and go with a lightweight, foldable stroller that has good quality wheels. And it has a big basket! The carseat snaps right into the stroller and then when kiddo outgrows the carseat, they will just go right into the stroller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-system-work-best-for-you#post-1587139 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 17:54:36 +0000 snowjewelz 1587139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Greentea: interesting...

I wanted a stroller with the bassinet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-system-work-best-for-you#post-1587093 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 17:36:26 +0000 Rocker2014 1587093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just piping in to say this is such a helpful thread! Thanks @snowjewelz for starting it! I'll definitely be looking into the britax! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-system-work-best-for-you#post-1587074 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 17:25:36 +0000 chopsuey 1587074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we used a universal snap and go. then once we retired the infant seat, we used an umbrella stroller. now we have a city mini gt double! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-system-work-best-for-you#post-1587069 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 17:24:37 +0000 sorrycharlie 1587069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have a city mini with the carseat adapter. we were given an infant seat for free, so that was what worked best for us (we did not have to consider which seat to buy, etc.).</p> <p>I. LOVE. OUR. STROLLER. seriously..love affair.</p> <p>we need to shop for a double and I'm leaning toward the b-agile because it's as close as I can get to the city mini and have it take a carseat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-system-work-best-for-you#post-1586981 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 16:33:33 +0000 preggomeggo82 1586981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOVE the B Safe/B Agile system. It was the easiest to collapse/expand/get the baby seat in and out when we tested in the store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-system-work-best-for-you#post-1586941 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 16:11:22 +0000 septca 1586941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also have the B Ready. LOVE. Acts as a snap and go, then transitions to a regular stroller, then transitions again to a double. Perfect for my urban family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-system-work-best-for-you#post-1586913 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 16:01:19 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1586913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love our B-Agile and B-Safe! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-system-work-best-for-you#post-1586899 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 15:57:12 +0000 mdf106 1586899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the chicco travel system and like it fine, although I use the ergo a lot more than the stroller now. The Britax B Agile is very similar to the city mini, and comes as a travel system. I did not get it because my DH is 6'2", and the handles were too short and not adjustable. I wanted to just buy one stroller, and the chicco frame would have been almost as expensive, with such a short life span. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-system-work-best-for-you#post-1586873 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 15:47:07 +0000 autumnlove 1586873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chicco Snap n go and infant seat.

I would get one that has a really good stand alone stroller. That's the one you'll use for years. Then get an adaptor to put the car seat on top. If you get a "travel system" that has a bad stroller, you'll be annoyed by the stroller-car seat combo (even the b-agile/b-safe combo was heavy and harder to control together) and then still be annoyed by the bad stroller when you ditch the car seat. Which means you'll probably end up buying another stroller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-system-work-best-for-you#post-1586809 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 15:22:33 +0000 Canoli 1586809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got the city mini and love it and borrowed a snap and go. I love that the city mini is not bulky and I can fold it and lift it with one hand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-system-work-best-for-you#post-1586707 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 14:36:34 +0000 swurlygurl 1586707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: You're going to love it!!</p> <p>We used the Britax travel system, and it folds super easily. L still loves the stroller at 15 months, and flips out when she sees it. If I don't want to go on a walk I have to make dang sure that stroller is hidden *very* well </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-system-work-best-for-you#post-1586677 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 14:31:02 +0000 snowjewelz 1586677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: oh, that's one idea knowing that you don't need it for long! </p> <p>@citymouse: love your explanation &amp; pics! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-system-work-best-for-you#post-1586665 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 14:27:27 +0000 citymouse 1586665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Britax B-Ready with Britax B-Safe seat and base! The B-Ready comes with a toddler seat. It becomes a "travel system" because the car seat clicks into the stroller frame until LO is big enough for the toddler seat (usually after 6 months). The frame folds up so easily and so discreetly. Its a bit heavier than the City Mini like you mentioned, but I think its worth it because it is so much more versatile! Also, the stroller frame stands when it is folded! Ohh!! And, its so much more affordable than the UBV! </p> [attach=3282/14/n4i0te.600x443.Britax-B-Ready-640x473.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-system-work-best-for-you#post-1586658 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 14:26:12 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1586658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ps - bought the snap and go used then sold it after i was done so it cost me $0! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-system-work-best-for-you#post-1586656 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 14:26:08 +0000 ladybee 1586656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The b-agile system is the best of both worlds! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-system-work-best-for-you#post-1586652 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 14:25:06 +0000 snowjewelz 1586652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to google what you guys are talking about so I have visuals lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stroller-system-work-best-for-you#post-1586604 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 14:14:10 +0000 Littlebit 1586604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsKoala: @pui: this is what we're getting also.
